About this file
This is a Request for Information (RFI) document issued by GDK Construction Co. regarding lab equipment substitution for the Van Buren ISD Career & Technical Education Improvements project located at 250 South Street, Lawrence, Michigan. The RFI, initiated on May 27, 2026, with a due date of May 30, 2026, addresses a pre-bid substitution request for welding lab equipment. The inquiry, submitted by Ross Kruithof of GDK Construction Co. to Dawn Kirkland of GMB Architects Engineers, seeks clarification on equipment specifications and potential substitutions for the project's welding lab component.
The primary issue raised in the RFI concerns lab equipment selection, specifically regarding welding booths. The Van Buren ISD owner has indicated a preference to retain Lincoln Electric booths and has explicitly stated that Clean Air Industries booths are not desired by the district. A response was provided on May 29, 2026, confirming the owner's equipment preference. The RFI includes references to attached substitution request documents and product specification sheets for booth equipment under review.
