All potential bidders must be certified by DOA prior to submitting bids on state construction 20 projects over $50,000. All bids received from contractors who are not certified will be rejected. Contractor 21 certification applications and instructions for completing the form may be obtained from the DOA Website 22 DFD Contractor Certification page. This project is being let using the single prime bidding and contracting process. DFD will publicly bid the 26 applicable mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection (MEP) divisions of work first. Within 5 27 days of the MEP bid opening, DFD will identify a lowest, qualified, responsible, certified bidder in each 28 applicable MEP division of work. These successful MEP bids must be included in all general prime 29 contractor bids received. No later than 5 days after DFD identifies the successful MEP bids, DFD will 30 publicly open general prime contractor bids. General prime contractor bids that do not include the 31 successful MEP bids will be rejected. The state will enter into a single contract with the lowest, qualified, 32 responsible, certified general prime contractor and this general prime contractor will enter into subcontracts 33 with the successful MEP bidders. If a project does not include any mechanical, electrical, plumbing, or fire 34 protection divisions of work, DFD will bid one bid package for all work to general prime contractors. All necessary piping, pumps, valves, controls, motors, and electrical wiring will also be replaced. The new 5 chiller and controls will be connected to and integrated with the existing chiller and controls to work in 6 parallel. 7 8 Bidding documents (drawings, specifications, and addenda) may be obtained only as electronic files (in 9 PDF format): as a downloadable file from the Division's Projects Bidding website (see website address 10 below) and/or on compact discs or DVD by ordering from the Construction Project Bidding Opportunities 11 webpage.
