Brandon School District is soliciting bids for a mechanical renovation project across multiple school facilities, including Brandon High School, Harvey-Swanson Elementary, and Brandon Middle School, located in Ortonville, Michigan. The procurement is structured as a competitive bid process for Mechanical Package 1500, with bids due on January 17, 2019, at 2:00 p.m. local time. A non-mandatory pre-bid conference was held on January 8, 2019, with optional building walkthroughs available by scheduling with John Thompson. Bidders are required to submit bids on provided forms, accompanied by a bidder's bond or certified/cashier's check for at least 5% of the total bid amount. Additional mandatory submission requirements include a sworn and notarized statement disclosing any familial relationships between the bidder and the Brandon School District Board of Education, Administration, or Staff. Bidding documents were available for purchase from Dunn Blue starting December 19, 2018, and could also be accessed through Wakely Associates Inc. The school district reserves the right to reject any or all bids and to waive irregularities, with the intent of selecting the bid that best serves the district's interests.

The procurement does not explicitly indicate specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Bidders will need to execute an Installment Purchase Agreement (IPA), which allows the bank to provide upfront funding to the school district, though the contractor's obligations are limited to executing the agreement. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are specifically mentioned in the documentation. While a precise budget range is not provided, the bid package suggests a substantial renovation project involving mechanical systems across multiple school buildings. The project scope includes specific architectural and electrical modifications, such as installing new steel reinforcement under rooftop units and making precise electrical location adjustments. Interested contractors must carefully review the bid package, addendum documents, and specification details to prepare comprehensive and compliant proposals for the mechanical renovation project.
