AD for BID- TCAPS Facilities Storage Building Addition

Traverse City Area Public Schools (TCAPS) is seeking bids for a Facilities Storage Building Addition project located at 1212 Cass Road in Traverse City, Michigan. The procurement involves constructing a new pre-engineered metal building addition to an existing facilities building, which will include an exterior covered roof area. Sealed bids are due on March 20th, 2025, at 1:00 pm, with a mandatory pre-bid meeting for General Contractors scheduled on March 6th at 3:00 pm at the project site. Bidders are required to provide a Bid Bond of at least 5 percent of the bid amount and submit sworn and notarized statements regarding familial relationships and Iran Economic Sanctions Act Certification. Bid documents will be available starting March 3rd, 2025, through the State of Michigan's SIGMA website and the Builders Exchange of Northwest Michigan. The bid offer will remain irrevocable for 60 days after submission, and TCAPS reserves the right to accept or reject any or all offers. The TCAPS Board is expected to approve the project on April 14th, 2025, with the substantial completion date yet to be determined.

The solicitation does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Bidders must purchase bid sets from Traverse Reproduction at their own expense, and only sealed bids will be accepted—telegraphic or telephonic bids will not be considered. The owner will evaluate bids based on what is deemed to be in the best interest of the school district, suggesting a comprehensive assessment of technical capability, pricing, and overall value proposition. While no specific budget range is provided in the documentation, the project involves a pre-engineered metal building addition, which typically represents a moderate capital investment for educational facility infrastructure. The project is located in Grand Traverse County, Michigan, and is specifically identified with the project number MNT25-001. Potential bidders should carefully review all documentation and ensure compliance with the specified bid requirements, including the mandatory pre-bid meeting and documentation submissions.
