Renovation of a municipal facility in Chehalis, Washington. Completed plans call for the renovation of a municipal facility.

This is a call for bids for frontage improvements at 2015 NE Kresky Ave and 2025 NE Kresky Ave in Chehalis, Washington as part of siting a new permanent night-by-night homeless shelter at the first of those addresses. Improvements will include curb, gutter, sidewalk, a bus pullout, and some drainage and other infrastructure noted in the plans and specifications. The permitting jurisdiction is the City of Chehalis; Lewis County is the project proponent and owner of both of the above-listed addresses. Lewis County recently renovated a former bank and office building at 2015 NE Kresky Ave, Chehalis, Washington into a permanent night-by-night shelter for people experiencing homelessness. That renovation is finished and included installation of fire sprinklers and fire alarms, fencing, and internal and external building renovations. This call for bids is to install frontage improvements on the portion of 2015 NE Kresky Ave and 2025 NE Kresky Ave (both owned by Lewis County) that abut Kresky Ave. The improvements include curb, gutter, sidewalk, a bus pullout, and some drainage and other infrastructure noted in the plans and specifications. By agreement with the City of Chehalis and the property owner to the north, the improvements extend just north of the 2025 NE Kresky Ave property line to marry to existing improvements at the property to the north. The work is to be promptly completed after award is made. Currently, neither 2015 NE Kresky Ave nor 2025 NE Kresky Ave are in use. However, the County is seeking to obtain a certificate of temporary occupancy permitting the night-by-night homeless shelter to begin operations at 2015 NE Kresky Ave before the frontage improvements are completed. Assuming the temporary occupancy is granted, the contractor will have to coordinate with the County and the operator of the night-by-night shelter (The Salvation Army) to allow shelter operations while the work is done. Note: the night-by-night shelter will normally admit homeless participants at around 7PM, and participants will leave at around 7AM each morning. So, only the staff of the shelter operator, not the homeless participants, are typically present during the daytime. Storage may be available at 2025 NE Kresky Ave, and the successful applicant may work out with Lewis County whether, where, and how best to store and secure materials there. Question Submission Deadline:May 28, 2025, 5:00pm Payment and performance bonds for 100% of the Contract Sum, including all Change Orders and state sales tax, shall be furnished for the Work, and shall be in a form acceptable to the County. No payment or performance bond is required if the Contract Sum is $150,000 or less and Contractor agrees that the County may, in lieu of the bond, retain an additional 10% of the Contract Sum, beyond any other retainage provided for in this Agreement, for the period allowed by RCW 39.08.010. All Bid Proposals Shall Be Accompanied by a Bid Proposal Deposit in Cash, Certified Check, Cashier's Check or Surety Bond in an Amount Equal to Five Percent (5%) of the Amount of Such Bid Proposal. Should the Successful Bidder Fail to Enter Into Such Contract and Furnish Satisfactory Contract Bond Within the Time Stated in the Specifications, the Bid Proposal Deposit Shall Be Forfeited to the Lewis County Capital Fund 3010.
