On-Call Civil Construction for Bridge, Culvert, and Other Miscellaneous Repair Services for Planning & Public Works

Pierce County Planning and Public Works is seeking a qualified construction contractor under an on-call, unit-priced invitation to bid for miscellaneous civil and heavy equipment services across various locations in Pierce County. The contract, solicitation number 2026-MPW-078, is structured as an indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity arrangement authorized under RCW 36.32.235, with an initial one-year term and an optional one-year renewal, for a total maximum duration of two years. Work is performed on an as-needed basis through individual work orders that specify tasks such as bridge and culvert repair, stormwater vault maintenance, pavement restoration, debris hauling, and traffic control, all executed in compliance with national, state, and local codes, as well as manufacturer’s technical specifications. Bidders must be licensed Washington State Commercial General Contractors with at least five years of experience, possess the required heavy equipment including excavators, loaders, dozers, cranes, rollers, dump trucks, and water trucks, and demonstrate the ability to mobilize within five calendar days of notice, with full responsibility for quality assurance and inspections regardless of County oversight. The award will be made using the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) method, where the lowest responsive bid from a technically qualified bidder wins, with no trade-offs permitted between cost and performance beyond minimum qualifications. Technical eligibility is determined by proven equipment capability, safe and professional work practices, prevailing wage compliance under RCW 39.12, and the submission of required references and insurance certificates. Non-resident bidders face a Comparable Percentage Disadvantage adjustment to their bids. Contractors must submit monthly itemized invoices electronically to PCPWContractServices@piercecountywa.gov, supported by daily reports, certified payrolls, and material documentation, while maintaining complete financial and payroll records for six years. Mandatory certifications include filing a Statement of Intent to pay prevailing wages, submitting weekly certified payrolls, providing an Affidavit of Wages Paid upon project completion, and furnishing apprenticeship utilization reports for contracts exceeding $2 million. Proposals must be submitted electronically through the Pierce County OpenGov Portal by August 5, 2026, and include a bid bond or approved financial instrument, with a physical copy of the bond requiring delivery within two hours of deadline. The estimated contract value is $750,000, though actual expenditures will vary based on task orders, with no maximum ceiling specified beyond the two-year term.
