PWC Mosquito Pavilion Nature Center

The Ohio Department of Natural Resources is soliciting bids for the construction and completion of a pavilion at the Mosquito Lake State Park Nature Center. The project requires a full structural build, including the reinforcement of the existing deck, and the final structure must be designed to handle snow loads and ensure proper drainage. All work must be completed by March 26, 2027, at designated locations in Cortland, Ohio. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder based on the low lot total, which is calculated by multiplying unit costs by estimated usage. The agreement is governed by the State of Ohio Standard Terms and Conditions and requires the contractor to maintain a performance bond and commercial general liability insurance with a minimum aggregate limit of 2,000,000 dollars. Bidders may be eligible for preferences including Buy American, Buy Ohio, and Veteran-Friendly Business certifications, provided the cost of the products exceeds 50 percent of the total offered cost. All proposals must be submitted through the Ohio Buys portal. Contractors must also comply with accessibility standards, including the Americans with Disabilities Act and WCAG 2.1 Level AA, and certify that no services will be performed outside of the United States.
