Anchor Bay School District is procuring an Energy Savings Performance Contract for Phase 2 boiler and hot water pump upgrades across four school buildings—Ashley Elementary, Naldrett Elementary, North Middle School, and South Middle School—located in Wayne County, Michigan. The project involves the complete removal and replacement of existing boilers and hot water pumps with high-efficiency sealed-combustion boilers and new pumps to improve heating system efficiency and reduce operational costs. Deliverables include mechanical and electrical work comprising demolition of obsolete equipment, installation of new HVAC components with variable frequency drives (VFDs), building automation system integration, comprehensive testing and balancing, commissioning, and a minimum one-year subcontractor workmanship warranty on all installed equipment. Bidders must submit proposals by March 11, 2026 at 2:00 PM at the district's Administrative Office, with a mandatory pre-bid walkthrough scheduled for February 27, 2026 at 1:30 PM at the Maintenance Office in New Baltimore, Michigan, followed by individual site visits to each school. The project is administered by Centrix Energy Partners, LLC as the Construction Manager, with a Notice to Proceed anticipated for March 26, 2026 following a Board of Education meeting, construction to commence by May 21, 2026, and substantial completion required by October 1, 2026.

Evaluation criteria emphasize pricing competitiveness, contractor experience, service quality guarantees, and subcontractor qualifications, with all awarded contractors required to maintain comprehensive insurance coverage and comply with prevailing wage requirements and OSHA safety standards.

The procurement contains no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises or minority-owned businesses based on the available documentation, though all contractors must comply with applicable Michigan public school business practices and local, state, and environmental regulations. Centrix Energy Partners, LLC serves as the Construction Manager and primary contractor overseeing project administration and subcontractor coordination.
