This Invitation to Bid (ITB) is for the fabrication and installation of steel exit stairs for the **** expansion project at Educational Service District 112 (ESD 112) in Vancouver, Washington. The scope of work includes fabricating the stairs with a hot-dipped galvanized finish (except for stainless steel landing and tread plates) and anchor-bolting them to the concrete face wall and landing pad. The contractor is responsible for all labor, materials, equipment, transportation, installation, testing, and cleanup, including removing scrap and debris. A pre-bid site visit is recommended due to existing grade changes, and a final site visit is required before fabrication to confirm the new finished height after the concrete landing pad is poured. This is a prevailing wage job. Bids are due by 2:00 PM on June 2, 2026. All bids must be sealed and clearly marked. Questions regarding the ITB must be submitted in writing by May 20, 2026. ESD 112 reserves the right to accept or reject any or all bids, negotiate modifications, waive informalities, postpone award, or cancel the ITB. Contractors must comply with all applicable state and federal laws, including diversity in employment and contracting requirements. Insurance requirements include commercial general liability, auto liability, property insurance, and workers' compensation. Submittal forms include a noncollusion affidavit, corporate profile, references, pricing form, and proposer's offer and acceptance form. Addenda will be available on the ESD 112 website and are considered part of the ITB.
The bids are due by 2:00 PM on June 2, 2026.
