About this file
This is Addendum No. 1 to a Request for Qualifications for Architectural Design Services issued by Grand Rapids Public Schools (GRPS) in Michigan for Union High School, Harrison Park, and Campus Elementary Schools. The addendum revises the proposal submission deadline to Tuesday, October 27, 2026, at 11:00 AM and establishes an RFI question submission deadline of Friday, October 23, 2026, at 10:00 AM. The district is pursuing a multiple bid package approach to address project timeline concerns while maintaining end dates. For Union High School and Harrison Park, the proposed phasing includes Bid Package 1 with a design phase from January through March 2027, bidding in March/April 2027, finance recommendation on April 16, 2027, board approval on May 10, 2027, and construction from June 7 through August 1, 2027. Bid Package 2 follows with design from February through May 2027, bidding in June 2027, finance recommendation on July 16, 2027, board approval on August 9, 2027, and construction from September 2027 through June/July 2028, contingent on school year work approval and scholar protections. Owner move-in is anticipated for July/August 2028 when Westwood relocates to Union. The addendum clarifies mechanical and electrical scopes including water heater replacements, temperature controls and VAV box replacements, flush valve replacements, chiller and heat pump replacements, and AHU replacements across the three schools, along with architectural clarifications for classroom reconfigurations at Union High School.
No pricing terms, funding sources, set-asides, or incumbency information is provided in this addendum. The district emphasizes the requirement for AE/CM teams to provide appropriate building separations for occupied facilities and to develop comprehensive phasing plans that accommodate scholar needs during construction. The document indicates the district is open to cost-effective solutions that maintain project end dates and requires a two-step approval process, with bid packages needing early March issuance to meet mid-April finance deadlines and May board approval targets.

ADDEDNDUM NO. 1
Date: October 21, 2026 Project: Architectural Design Services RFQ for Union, Harrison & Campus Schools
Addendum Items:
1. Proposal due date has changed to Tuesday, October 27, 2026, at 11:00 AM.
2. RFI Questions to be submitted by Friday, October 23, 2026, at 10:00 AM for final addendum issuance.
3. Pre-submission sign-in sheet has been attached.
4. Proposed Schedule Revisions:
a. The district understands the concerns regarding the timelines for the Union High School and Harrison Park project schedules. District is open to other cost-effective solutions, as long as end dates are maintained.
b. However, GRPS would still like to consider the idea of multiple bid packages for items that may be achievable during the summer of 2027:
i. Union High School;
1. Athletic Fields
2. Other items determined that can be successfully completed in summer.
ii. Harrison Park;
1. Café flooring replacement
2. Other items determined that can be successfully completed in summer.
c. Please be aware the district requires a two-step approval process – for example, a bid package would need to be issued early March to be submitted for a mid-April finance deadline to receive a May board of education approval. AE/CM teams will be required to provide the appropriate separations needed to perform construction while the building remains occupied and to assist the district in developing a phasing plan that best accommodates scholar needs while completing the necessary renovations.
d. Suggested revised schedule timeline as follows for Union HS & Harrison Park:
One option for multiple bid packages (subject to change after reviews):
i. Bid package 1 SD - Jan 2027 DD - Feb 2027 CDs - March 2027 Bidding – March/April 2027 Finance Recommendation - April 16, 2027 Board Approval - May 10, 2027 Construction Start – June 7, 2027 thru August 1, 2027
ii. Bid Package 2 SD - Feb 2027 DD - April 2027 CDs - May 2027 Bidding - June 2027 Finance Recommendation - July 16, 2027 Board Approval - August 9, 2027 Construction Start - September 2027 thru June/July 2028 (if approved to work during school year and with scholar protections)
