North Huron Schools is soliciting bids for their 2018/2019 Bond Project, which encompasses a comprehensive multi-category construction and renovation initiative. The procurement opportunity covers 24 distinct bid categories, including landscaping, fencing, earthwork, paving, general trades, roofing, masonry, metals, painting, flooring, food service, grandstands, press box, mechanical/electrical systems, and athletic facilities. Bids are due by 2:30 p.m. on Wednesday, December 5, 2018, at the Office of the Superintendent in Kinde, Michigan, with a mandatory pre-bid conference scheduled for Monday, November 26, 2018, at the high school's main entrance. Prospective bidders are required to submit triplicate bid documents and must provide a certified check or bid bond of 5% of the base bid for proposals exceeding $50,000, with the bond coming from a Michigan-approved surety company. Bidders are also mandated to submit familial disclosure statements in compliance with MCL 380.1267, and all bid documents, specifications, and potential addendums can be downloaded from R.C. Hendrick's online Plan Room, with questions to be directed via email to chip@rchendrick.com.

The procurement does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Bidders cannot withdraw their proposals for 60 days following the bid date, and all documentation must adhere to Michigan state procurement regulations. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly detailed in the provided documentation, the comprehensive nature of the 24 bid categories suggests a substantial capital investment for the school district's infrastructure improvements. The project is being managed by R.C. Hendrick & Son, Inc., who will oversee the bidding process and potential contract awards. Site visits are encouraged for bidders unable to attend the pre-bid conference, indicating the project's complexity and the importance of thorough vendor understanding of the project scope. The procurement appears focused on comprehensive school facility upgrades and modernization, targeting improvements across multiple critical infrastructure and operational areas.
