Call 002 2025200078

The West Virginia Department of Transportation, through its Division of Highways, is soliciting design-build proposals for ADA-compliant curb ramp construction projects across Kanawha County under solicitation number 2025200078, with a proposed award date of October 20, 2026. The contract requires comprehensive project execution including design, surveying, permitting, utility coordination, and construction in full compliance with DOH Standard Specifications for Roads and Bridges (2023), supplemented by 2026 amendments, along with adherence to PROWAG, DOH Drainage and Traffic Control manuals, and all applicable federal and state regulations. Work must commence no later than ten days after notice to proceed and be completed by December 31, 2027, with time strictly being of the essence; failure to meet deadlines may trigger reimbursement obligations, liquidated damages, or payment withholding. The prime contractor must perform at least 30% of the contract value using its own resources, with subcontractors limited to prequalified entities only, and must comply with Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements, including certified payrolls submitted electronically via the CRL system, fringe benefits, and paid sick leave as mandated by Executive Order 13706. Contractors are subject to debarment, suspension, and False Claims Act provisions, and must maintain records accessible for audit. Inspection and acceptance occur on-site by the Department of Highways, which retains independent assurance testing authority without relieving the contractor of primary responsibility for quality and compliance. Labor standards also include adherence to Title VI, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and 49 CFR Part 26 DBE requirements, while use of convict labor is prohibited except under specific parole or probation conditions. The solicitation requires submission of two separate proposals: a Technical Proposal limited to twenty pages with specific formatting, and a Cost Proposal submitted exclusively through the Bid Express portal by the October 20, 2026 deadline. The cost proposal contains CLIN-like labor line items with hourly wage rates for equipment operators and traffic control personnel, derived from Davis-Bacon wage determinations, but lacks quantities, extended prices, or total contract value, indicating an LPTA-based award process where pricing and compliance form the basis of selection. Packaging, marking, and preservation requirements are not defined, with no MIL-STD references or UID requirements included. Payment office details, accounting codes, invoicing mechanisms (WAWF or IPP), and COR/COTR information
