Renovation of an educational facility in Lynchburg, Virginia. Completed plans call for the renovation of a educational facility.

The Scope of Work includes the removal and replacement of the existing windows in the West Building on both 12th and Monroe Streets. There are also several windows that will be removed and replaced along the south side of the north elevation of the West Building. The existing windows will be replaced with new aluminum storefront framing and new glazing. There is a Deductive Alternate No. 1 for replacement of the windows being removed with the aluminum storefront details without the applied trim in the areas shown on the Drawings and labeled as Alternate #1. FedEx, UPS, and the USPS have access to the building to deliver mail/packages to the Procurement Office. If vendors choose to hand deliver bids, they may be dropped off at the Citizens First Info Center in the lobby on the First Floor of City Hall Monday - Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. A Procurement Division Staff member will be notified to come and retrieve the bid and time stamp it at that time. Bids received prior to the time of opening will be securely kept unopened. It is the sole responsibility for the Bidder to ensure their bid is timestamped prior to the deadline for submission. Please allow additional time to ensure this is done. As always, late bids will not be considered. All requests for clarification of or questions regarding this Advertisement for Bids or for additional information must be made in writing to: Matt Marsteller, CPPB, Procurement Division by email to matthew.marsteller@lynchburgva.gov and received by 3:00 p.m., January 10, 2024. All posted clarifications or addenda must be acknowledged on the Bid Form. Failure to acknowledge the addenda may deem the bid non-responsive. All addenda associated with this project will be posted no later than 3:00 p.m. on January 12, 2024. That the Contractor shall commence Work within ten (10) days after Notice to Contractor to Proceed with the Work under Contract ("Notice to Proceed"). On-site work shall not begin prior to June 3, 2024 with Substantial Completion by August 2, 2024 and Final Completion by August 30, 2024. Owner and Contractor recognize that time is of the essence of this Contract and that the Owner will suffer financial loss if the Work is not completed within the times specified in the Notice to Proceed, plus any extensions thereof. They also recognize the delays, expense and difficulties involved in providing the actual loss suffered by Owner if the Work is not completed on time. Accordingly, instead of requiring any such proof, Owner and Contractor agree that as liquidated damages for certain losses Owner is expected to suffer due to delay (but not as a penalty) Contractor shall pay $250.00 for each day that expires after the time specified for completion. If the Contractor is subject to liquidated damages, the City has the right, but not the obligation, to withhold the liquidated damages from the Contractor's regular payments or retainage. Rights and obligations relating to these liquidated damages are set out more fully in the General Conditions. Each bid must be accompanied by a cashier's check payable to Lynchburg City School Board drawn on a bank satisfactory to Schools, or a Bid Bond, in the amount of five percent (5%) of the amount of the total base bid, with Schools as Obligee, as assurance that the successful bidder will enter into the Contract within ten (10) days after Notice of Award. A performance bond and a labor and material payment bond will be required in the amount of 100 percent of the bid.
