DOC - WCCW - Replace Roof Bldgs - Gig Harbor

The project involves providing architectural design services for the replacement of roofing, insulation, and rooftop equipment on six buildings at the Washington Corrections Center for Women in Gig Harbor, Washington. The scope includes replacing approximately 64,384 square feet of roofing, upgrading rooftop systems, and installing fall protection to address critical roof conditions, improve energy efficiency, and meet security standards. The preliminary maximum construction cost is set at nearly $4 million, with fees to be negotiated based on state guidelines after selection. The solicitation emphasizes qualifications over price, with a two-phase evaluation process: an initial assessment of qualifications and experience, followed by oral interviews. Key personnel qualifications, relevant project experience, past performance, and strategies for diverse business inclusion are critical evaluation factors, with significant weight assigned to personnel expertise and project approach. The procurement is managed by the Washington Department of Enterprise Services, requiring firms to register electronically and submit a Statement of Qualifications (SOQ) through the DES Bonfire portal by August 28, 2025. The process mandates submission of a Diverse Business Inclusion Plan, which is mandatory but not scored, and firms must also register with the state's diversity reporting system (B2Gnow). The contract will be governed by the state's standard engineering and architectural agreement, with negotiations on fees following the selection. While the documents specify project milestones and evaluation criteria, they do not detail specific delivery schedules, packaging, or shipping requirements, nor do they include federal FAR clauses or detailed cost breakdowns. Administrative contacts include the project manager and procurement officer, with the project scheduled for contract award in October 2025, and work to commence thereafter at the WCCW site.
