Effective January 1, 2014, all potential bidders must be certified by DOA prior to submittin bids on state construction projects over $50,000. All bids received from contractors who are not certified will be rejected. Contractor certification applications and instructions for completing the form may be obtained from the DOA Website DFD Contractor Certification page: https//doa.wi.gov/Pages/DoingBusiness/ContractorCertification.aspx or upon request from DFD--email dfdcertification@wisconsin.gov. This project is being let using a new single prime bidding and contracting process. DFD will publicly bid the applicable mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection (MEP) divisions of work first. Within 5 days of the MEP bid opening, DFD will identify a lowest, qualified, responsible, certified bidder in each applicable MEP division of work. These successful MEP bids must be included in all general prime contractor bids received. No later than 5 days after DFD identifies the successful MEP bids, DFD will publicly open general prime contractor bids. General prime contractor bids that do not include the successful MEP bids will be rejected. The state will enter into a single contract with the lowest, qualified, responsible, certified general prime contractor and this general prime contractor will enter into subcontracts with the successful MEP bidders. If a project does not include any mechanical, electrical, plumbing, or fire protection divisions of work, DFD will bid one bid package for all work to general prime contractors. In general the work consists of reconstruction of an approximate 630-stall parking lot on upper campus, including storm piping, concrete curb and gutter, concrete walkways, base course, asphalt paving, pavement markings, signs, rock biofilter, parking lot lighting, turf, and related work.
