The Jefferson County Greenways Commission, located in Jefferson County, Alabama, is seeking bid proposals from qualified, eligible vendors to perform all operations required for the construction of building improvements to building facilities at Ruffner Mountain Nature Preserve. Project Purpose Summary Ruffner Mountain is currently in need of structural repairs to exterior raised deck platforms attached to the Nature Center & office building. Sections of the exterior deck platform and entryway are currently closed and inaccessible due to material failures and safety concerns. Ruffner Mountain receives over 80,000 visitors each year and provides educational, health, volunteer, and community resources to residents and tourists of Jefferson County Alabama. The Nature Center plays a vital role in Ruffner Mountains capacity to provide these beneficial resources to the community, particularly as outdoor recreation and visitation increased due to COVID-19. Scope of Services - Construction Contractors Responsibilities This RFB is focused on repairing structural components to the Ruffner Mountain Nature Centers raised entryway deck. Visitors and staff use the walkway to access the Native Wildlife Educational Exhibits, the Tree House Classroom, Childrens Reading & Activity Nook, Public Restroom facilities, and staff offices. Structural laminated beams and treated floor joist lumber have deteriorated due to weather, time, manufacturing, and design defects. The area in need of repair is approximately 835 sq ft or more and has an elevation of 10 to 25 feet above ground. Repairs must be completed before these areas can be reopened for public use. Additional repairs may be required during the reconstruction process. Minimum Requirements and Qualifications of Bidder: Contractor(s) shall comply with all applicable federal, state, and local laws, rules, regulations, ordinances, and codes and obtain any licenses or permits required to provide the services under this RFB. Furthermore, among other requirements contained in 2 CFR 200, Appendix II, all contracts in excess of $100,000 that involve the employment of mechanics or laborers must include a provision for compliance with certain provisions of the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act, 40 U.S.C. 3702 and 3704, as supplemented by Department of Labor regulations (29 CFR Part 5).
