This is a Request for Proposal (RFP) issued by Battle Creek Public Schools for general contractor services to reconstruct two cabins destroyed by fallen trees at their Outdoor Education Center located at 10160 M-37, Dowling Michigan 49050. The project involves reconstructing two cabins with a total square footage of 882.51 square feet, including a Ski Cabin and Staff Cabin with detailed specifications for framing, electrical, roofing, insulation, flooring, and finishes. The RFP was released on April 10, 2018 with proposals due by April 24, 2018. A mandatory site visit is scheduled for April 17, 2018 at 10:00 a.m., and interested contractors must submit an Intent to Respond form by April 16, 2018. The substantial completion date is set for June 30, 2018.

The selection criteria include cost (35 points), references (15 points), contractor's team strength (30 points), and project management approach (20 points). Required insurance includes general liability ($1,000,000 per occurrence/$2,000,000 aggregate), professional liability ($1,000,000), and workers' compensation ($500,000 or $1,000,000 per injury). A 5% bid bond is required with the cost proposal. The RFP includes detailed specifications and floor plans for both cabins, with the Ski Cabin having 460.75 SF ceiling/floor space and the Staff Cabin having more complex dimensions with multiple rooms. The school district prefers to work with one contractor rather than multiple contractors for this reconstruction project.
