Part I. Project Description

The Recovery House project is comprised of two buildings on a single large lot.  The largest building is a two-story structure that will be remodeled into living quarters for 16 individuals and the smaller building will be remodeled into offices, a kitchen and dining area and laundry room.

Conceptual plans have been completed for both structures. The selected general contractor is expected to work with the owner and design team in a collaborative way throughout the design/ development phase of the project, to include cost estimating, constructability review, and generally to help ensure a successful project. 

1. The project is subject to Minority or Women Owned Business Enterprise (MWBE) participation. The GC will be required to conduct outreach and solicitation of MWBE subcontractors for all subcontracts of $50,000 or greater and to report on these efforts. 
2. The project is subject to commercial Washington State Prevailing Wage requirements.
3. The selected GC will be expected to provide a letter from a bonding company indicating the ability of the GC to secure a Performance and Payment Bond for the amount of the finalized construction budget for this project.
