Turn to the River Phase III

The Turn to the River Phase III project is a park construction solicitation issued by the City of Terre Haute, Indiana, for work located at 17 Harding Avenue. The scope of work encompasses the construction of pedestrian walks, plaza areas with seating, a central promenade, shade structures, a synthetic turf mound, lighting, and supporting planting beds, along with utility adjustments. Specific technical requirements include the installation of fiber reinforced concrete paving, a complete electrical system with receptacle pedestals, and various plumbing elements such as drinking fountains, yard hydrants, and copper water piping. The project also involves demolition of existing concrete pavement and tree removal. The contract will be awarded to the responsible bidder submitting the lowest responsive bid, with evaluations based on compliance with the bid form and the bidder's responsibility. Bidders must submit their proposals via the Bid Express platform by October 26, 2026, including a bid security equal to 5 percent of the maximum bid price. The successful contractor is required to provide performance and payment bonds for 100 percent of the contract amount, which must remain in effect for the project duration plus twelve months. Compliance with several federal regulations is mandatory, including the Davis-Bacon Act for wage scales, the Copeland Act, and various Equal Employment Opportunity and non-discrimination mandates under the Civil Rights Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act. Strict material handling and marking standards are required, particularly for concrete pavers, steel reinforcement, and underground utility warning tapes. The contractor is responsible for all inspections and tests, while the Engineer maintains the authority to reject defective work. Within 10 days of the construction effective date, the contractor must provide preliminary progress, submittal, and value schedules.
