Washington St Parking Deck Capital Improvement Project

The City of Columbia is soliciting bids for the Washington Street Parking Deck Capital Improvement Project under solicitation number BID018-25-26-JAH Addendum 2, with responses due by January 16, 2026. The project involves comprehensive structural repairs to the parking deck including concrete restoration, steel decking rehabilitation, expansion joint replacement, traffic coating application, and joint sealant replacement, with all work required to meet manufacturer specifications, ASTM standards such as E 548 and C 928, and applicable federal, state, and municipal codes. Bidders must submit proposals exclusively through the IONWAVE e-procurement portal in PDF format, adhering to strict naming conventions for electronic files including the Bid Form and Technical Response. The award will follow a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) methodology, where price is the primary factor and technical proposals must meet minimum acceptability thresholds without trade-offs. All offerors must possess a valid Unique Entity ID (UEI) from SAM.gov, provide certifications for business classifications such as SBE, MBE, WBE, CDBE, or LBE, and disclose litigation, performance, or claims history with written explanations for any “Yes” responses. Key personnel must be identified and their contact information posted on-site within 15 days of Notice to Proceed, and the contractor is responsible for maintaining temporary security until Final Completion, carrying specialized insurance for hazardous activities, and complying with stringent material handling, packaging, and labeling requirements aligned with federal specifications and manufacturer guidelines. Final payment requires submission of numerous affidavits and certifications including AIA G706, G706A, G707, proof of lien releases, tax compliance, utility readings, and final accounting reconciliations. Performance will occur at the project site in Columbia, South Carolina, with the contract period encompassing construction plus 180 days for closeout, and all work must be performed by certified, factory-trained installers using materials delivered in original sealed packaging with clearly labeled manufacturer data. No formal FAR clauses are incorporated, and no contract value is specified due to missing unit pricing in the bid schedule, though the scope suggests a significant capital improvement effort requiring full compliance with CSI-aligned construction specifications and project documentation.
