Spokane Police Academy Addition

The City of Spokane is soliciting bids for the construction of a new classroom building addition at the Spokane Police Academy located at 2302 N. Waterworks St., Spokane, WA. This public work invitation to bid, identified as PW ITB 6570-26, is a one-step unsealing process with a mandatory pre-bid meeting scheduled for June 4, 2026, at the project site, which all prime contractors must attend. Bids must be submitted via the City’s electronic procurement portal by June 22, 2026, at 1:00 PM Pacific Time, and only general contractors are eligible to submit offers for the complete scope of work; subcontractors are not permitted to bid directly. The engineer’s estimated cost is $1,550,000, with the lowest responsive bid submitted at $1,630,000, plus $5,000 for apprenticeship compliance and $148,785 in sales tax, resulting in a base bid total of $1,783,785. Multiple bid alternates are available, including an additive option for folding acoustic panel partitions ($24,000), a deductive option to substitute fiberglass slider windows ($30,000 reduction), and an additive option for roller shades ($9,300), with additional unit-price options for extra demolition, excavation, and backfill work. The project requires full compliance with apprenticeship utilization standards and mandates adherence to specified material and construction standards including ASME A13.1 for pipe labeling, ASTM and ANSI standards for materials and safety glazing, and AISC and AWS codes for structural steel and welding. Work must achieve substantial completion within 214 calendar days of notice to proceed, with final completion due within 30 days thereafter. All equipment and piping must be clearly labeled using approved materials and color schemes in accordance with industry standards, and final inspection and acceptance will occur on-site under the authority of the City and its Architect/Engineer, with approval contingent upon adherence to approved mock-ups. Bidders must provide their Washington State Contractor’s Registration Number and Unique Business Identifier, and if claiming utilization of minority- or women-owned business enterprises, must submit certification numbers from the Washington State Office of Minority and Women’s Business Enterprises. No federal acquisition regulation clauses are embedded in the bid documents, and no specific contracting officer, COTR, or payment office
