Sealed qualifications will be received at the Libby School District #4 Central Administration Building C/O Ellen Mills at 724 Louisiana Avenue, Libby, MT 59923 until 2:00 p.m. on Monday, February 14, 2022. The outside of the envelope shall be clearly marked: "Libby School District Central Kitchen Relocation and Renovation Construction Services RFQ". A walkthrough of the intended site is currently scheduled for February 9 at 2:00 PM. This may be revised depending on staff availability. It is intended that the District, Design Firm, and interested Prime Contractors will attend this walkthrough together. The full RFQ document, preliminary drawings, and narrative of the project scope are available from Ellen at the Libby School District by email sd4@libbyschools.org upon request. This Pre-Bid conference is not mandatory; however, it will be an opportunity for introductions, a summary of the project, a brief question and answer session, and reviewing the sites. The project generally consists of relocating the Libby School District Central Kitchen from its current location at the Asa Wood Building to the Central Administration Building. It is planned to remodel two (2) classrooms within the existing footprint and complete an extension to the existing building for a new loading dock area and a freezer. Other ancillary work to accommodate the kitchen will be required. The construction services to be provided to the District include realizing maximum life cycle value, construction coordination, utility, and operational savings. The project involves the renovation of 1600 sf of the existing building and 785 sf of new construction. The project needs to be completed by the start of the 2022/23 school year. It is the intent of the District to retain the successful general contractor on a GC/CM General Contractor /Construction Manager contract. Once the construction budget is finalized a Performance Bond and Labor and Materials Payment Bond each in the amount of One Hundred percent (100%) of the Not To Exceed contract amount will be required of the successful Contractor to secure the contractor's covenant to faithfully perform all the conditions of the contract in accordance with the law and that contract. The successful Contractor will also be required to provide current proof of Worker's Compensation insurance and/or an independent contractor certification from the State, and General Liability and Automobile insurance policies, with Libby School District #4 as an additional insured. The Contractor and all subcontractors will be required to have a certificate of registration from the Montana Department of Labor and Industry in the proper classification before bidding on this project. Forms for registration are available from the Department of Labor and Industry, P.O. Box 8011, 1805 Prospect, Helena, Montana 59604-8011. February 9, 13, 2022 MNAXLP __________________________
