Renovation of a detention facility in Portage, Wisconsin. Completed plans call for the renovation of a detention facility.

This project is being let using a new single trade bidding and contracting process. When 85% or more of the construction cost of a project could be completed by a Single Trade Contractor (mechanical, electrical, plumbing, or fire protection), the Department may bid and contract all work of that construction project directly to a Single Trade Contractor. The State will enter into a singl contract with the lowest, qualified, responsible, certified single trade MEP contractor. Single trade MEP contractors may bid on single trade projects up to their current division of work certification level for that trade. All Work for this project will be awarded to a single trade ELECTRICAL contractor. Bidders shall submit a Single Base Bid for all Work. In general the work consists of removal of the existing fire alarm system and installation of a new campus54 wide voice fire alarm system. The new fire alarm system will consist of all new initiation and notification appliances, annunciator panels and control panels. The system will be linked together via existing fiber optic cable to a central monitoring point at the main control station. The 2017-2019 Wisconsin State Budget (2017 Wisconsin Act 59) repealed Wisconsin's prevailing wage laws. Effective September 23, 2017, state prevailing wage requirements on state building projects no longer apply. These changes take effect for projects advertised for bid after September 2017. This change does not affect the Federal Davis Bacon Act requirements. Bid Guarantee in the amount of 10% of the Bid must accompany each bid submitted.
