Renovation of an educational facility in Whitewater, Wisconsin. Completed plans call for the renovation of a educational facility.

This project is being let using the 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 a 3 rd floor dormitory remodel that includes new architectural finishes and minor cabinetry, running a new water service to the building, installing a sprinkler riser in the building and installing a sprinkler system on the 3 rd floor of the building. The project includes complete remodeling of both of the 3 rd floor toilet / shower rooms, installing new electrical panels on the 3 rd floor, new power distribution and lighting on the 3 rd floor and minor HVAC work on the 3 rd floor.
