Hemlock, MI 48626

SCOPE OF WORK:

Hemlock Public School District (the “District” or “Owner”) is soliciting proposals from firms to provide comprehensive Design-Build services for the expansion and potential renovation of Hemlock Elementary

School/Early Childhood Center. This work will be completed utilizing approximately $1M in United States

Department of Agriculture (USDA) funding. Services will include complete design and construction, from conceptual design through close-out. It is anticipated that as much of the $1M grant will be allocated to the cost of work, with soft costs coming out of a separate funding source.

In addition, the District will be pursuing a non-qualified bond in November 2026 for approximately $14M. Upon voter approval, between $2M and $3M in additional funding will be put towards extended work scope at

Hemlock Elementary School. Upon successful passage of the bond, it is the District’s intent to continue with the chosen Design-Build team for the full implementation of the bond program, from pre-design through construction, Owner move-in and close-out.

DUE DATE:

Proposals shall be submitted electronically to Denise Dowdell, Director of Business Operations and Human

Resources, at dowdell@hemlockps.com no later than July 15 at 12:00 pm EST with the e-mail subject line “HPSD

Design-Build RFP Response”. The District will not consider or accept proposals received after the specified date and time.

REQUIRED DISCLOSURE STATEMENT:

The bid shall be accompanied by a sworn and notarized statement disclosing any familial relationship that exists between the owner or any employee of the bidder and any member of Hemlock Public School District Board of

Education or Hemlock Public School District Superintendent. The bid shall also be accompanied by a sworn and notarized statement disclosing whether the bidder is an Iran Linked Business in compliance with PA 517 of 2012.

The Board shall not accept a bid that does not include these sworn and notarized disclosure items.

RIGHTS RESERVED BY THE OWNER:

SECTION I: PROJECT OVERVIEW

PURPOSE:

The District desires to utilize recent Michigan Design-Build legislation to reimagine school construction delivery and is seeking a qualified Design-Build partner to support this innovative turnkey approach from concept through completion.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION/PROJECT SCOPE:

Hemlock Public School District is a general powers public school district located in Saginaw County, Michigan serving approximately 1,200 K-12 students. The District is governed by an elected seven-member Board of

Education.

The District has secured a $1M grant from the USDA to fund improvements to Hemlock Elementary School/Early

Childhood Center, located at 200 Wilson Street in Hemlock, Michigan. Work would include the expansion and possible renovation of the southeast wing of the school, adding approximately 3,000 s.f. of building space, and would encompass the following programmatic elements:

• Secure main corridor connection

• Office and student support space

• Two to three new ECC classrooms with attached toilet rooms

• Student toilet rooms

• Re-worked parent drop-off and pick-up loop

This work scope is being thought of as Phase I, with a potential second phase if voters approve the bond in the

November election. Phase II would utilize $2M to $3M of the allocated bond dollars to expand the elementary school building by another 9,000 s.f., to include:

• Additional classrooms

• Staff toilet rooms

• Office and intervention spaces

• Flexible learning environments

The overall goal of this expansion is to relocate the early childhood programming to the new wing, to make space to bring 1st grade back to this building. 1st grade classrooms would be relocated to those left by the ECC.

A very conceptual plan showing the work scope is included as Appendix ‘A’—the Design-Build team will be charged with working through plan concepts with the District to align their Phase I and II wish list(s) with the allocated budget(s). Because work for Phase I will begin prior to knowing the outcome of the bond vote, the team will need to anticipate the Phase II future growth as part of the initial conceptual layout for the school.

The District has engaged Veridus Advisors to serve as its Owner’s Representative. Rounding out the current project team are PFM and Thrun as financial advisor and legal counsel, respectively. The chosen Design-Build firm will work closely with this team throughout the course of the project (and into Phase II).

DELIVERY MODEL:

The District intends to utilize a Design-Build delivery method for implementation of the bond program.

PROJECT BUDGET:

The initial project budget is approximately $1M, funded through a grant provided by the USDA. Upon successful passage of the November bond, another $2M to $3M will be allocated to expand the work scope, which will be balanced with the desired work outlined in the larger bond program.

DESIGN-BUILD GMP:

While the District is not requesting a GMP from potential proposers at this time, contracts will eventually be based on same. For purposes of the proposal responses, the District would like to better understand each proposer’s fee structure. To this end, the following is being requested:

• For phase I scope of work:

o A fee range for design services (expressed as a % of the cost of work). Include all disciplines that will be required to complete the work.

o A fee range for general conditions along with a list of what is included in same (expressed as a % of the cost of work) o A fee range for contractor overhead and profit (OHP) (expressed as a % of the cost of work) o A % fee for contractor mark-up for changes to the work

• For phase II scope of work (including Hemlock Elementary/ECC addition/improvements as well as all approved bond scope):

o A fee range for design services (expressed as a % of the cost of work). Include all disciplines that will be required to complete the work.

o A fee range for general conditions along with a list of what is included in same (expressed as a % of the cost of work) o A fee range for contractor overhead and profit (OHP) (expressed as a % of the cost of work) o A % fee for contractor mark-up for changes to the work

As the chosen Design-Build team develops project costs and finalizes the project’s fixed-fee GMP, it is expected that they will reflect fees in the percentage ranges noted above or as negotiated with the District.

NOTE that a GMP for phase I will be established first. Upon successful passage of the bond, the chosen Design-

Build team will establish a second GMP for the additional scope of the Hemlock Elementary/Early Childhood

Center work. One or more GMPs will be established for the full bond scope as well and may be delivered in multiple bid packages/phases. This will be determined by the team upon voter approval in November.

It is also required that the chosen Design-Builder will competitively bid all trade categories for all work that will be completed on campus in order to meet public bidding requirements and assure that the District is getting the best pricing for each.

The District intends to enter into a contract with the chosen Design-Builder immediately upon the start of work. A fee for design and pre-construction services will be negotiated at the outset and reflected in the initial

Agreement. Once the GMP is established after the design and bidding phases, the Agreement will be amended to reflect the final scope and agreed-upon GMP.

SECTION III: SCOPE OF SERVICES

Hemlock Public School District is looking to contract with a qualified firm to provide Design-Build services throughout all phases of planning, design, construction and closeout services of the project.

While not all services will be required for Phase I, proposers should be able to develop a full team to address all potential aspects of the design work for Phase II, including architecture, interior design, structural, M/E/P/FP, civil and landscape services, technology, security and furniture. A preliminary scoping document is included herein as Appendix ‘B’. Please address your ability to provide these services in-house or with trusted consultants, for a full-service approach to the potential work scope.

It is anticipated that a modified version of the AIA A141-2024 Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and

Design-Builder will be utilized for both phases of the project. The 2014 version of this contract has been approved by the District’s legal counsel as well as the USDA for use on previous projects on campus. A copy of this draft document is included as Appendix ‘C’. The District’s attorney is currently working with the USDA on the newer version of the contract, which will go into effect on August 1, 2026. This will be shared with proposers if the review process is completed ahead of the last addendum date.

PHASE 1 – HEMLOCK ELEMENTARY/EARLY CHILDHOOD CENTER:

It is expected that the selected Design-Builder will provide a single point of responsibility for both the design and construction of the project through all of the typical phases of both. Work scope will include, but is not limited to the following:

Design

Work with the Ownership team to establish project goals, beginning with programming and conceptual design, preparation of drawings and specifications, coordination with consultants, regulatory agencies, and stakeholders. Provide continued monitoring of the design process to assure alignment with scope, schedule and budget objectives.

Schedule & Budget Planning

Collaborate with the District, Owner’s Representative, legal counsel and financial advisors to develop and confirm the project schedule, assist in the development of a total project budget inclusive of construction and non-construction (soft) costs, provide cost estimates at each phase of design to assure continued alignment with same and ultimately, establish a construction GMP.

Bidding & Construction

Lead the bidding process, procure and manage subcontractors; obtain appropriate permits and approvals; provide construction oversight and coordinate field activities; manage project close out.

Project Oversight & Advisory Support

Lead and document design and construction meetings; provide regular updates to the District’s Building

Committee and Board; work with the District to coordinate any Owner-provided vendors during the design and construction process.

PHASE 2 – POST-BOND IMPLEMENTATION SERVICES:

Contingent upon successful bond passage, the District intends to continue engagement with the selected

Design-Builder for full implementation services of the bond scope. Services will be similar to those outlined above for Phase I and will be contracted separately.

9. IRAN ECONOMIC SANCTIONS ACT

Public Act 517 of 2012, commonly known as the "Iran Economic Sanctions Act" (the "Act"). The Act provides that beginning April 1, 2013; an "Iran Linked Business" is not eligible to submit a proposal on a request for proposal with a "public entity" (Hemlock Public School District). The Act also requires that a person that submits a proposal in response to Hemlock Public School District’ request for proposal must certify to the public entity that it is not an Iran Linked Business. This requirement applies to all requests for proposals issued by Hemlock Public School District, and not just to construction projects.

The Act defines an Iran Linked Business as:

a. A person engaging in investment activities in the energy sector of Iran, including a person that provides oil or liquefied natural gas tankers or products used to construct or maintain pipelines used to transport oil or liquefied natural gas for the energy sector of Iran;

b. A financial institution that extends credit to another person, if that person will use the credit to engage in investment activities in the energy sector of Iran.

If Hemlock Public School District determines, using credible information available to the public, that a person or entity has submitted a false certification, Hemlock Public School District must provide written notice to the person or entity of its determination and of its intent not to enter into or renew the contract.

The notice must include information on how to contest the determination. The notice must also specify that the individual or entity may become eligible for future contracts with the public entity if the activities that caused it to be an Iran Linked Business are ceased.

Proposed Future Capital Priorities

Hemlock Public School District

Building on progress. Planning for what is next.

A. Hemlock Elementary Expansion | Phase I Expand and renovate the southeast wing of Hemlock Elementary to the east as Phase I, utilizing approximately $1 million in United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) funding. The project would add approximately 3,000 square feet and include:

● Secure main corridor connection

● Parent drop-off and pick-up loop with bus/car turnaround
