Athletic Restroom Construction

Escanaba Area Public Schools in Delta County, Michigan, is seeking bids for the Athletic Restroom Construction project at the Junior/Senior High School located at 500 S. Lincoln Road. The procurement involves constructing a 22ft x 16ft restroom building with men's and women's facilities, including ADA-compliant fixtures, utilities, and concrete sidewalks. Two potential alternates are included: installing a 6-foot wide sidewalk to a proposed tennis pavilion and adding a 2-inch buried conduit with pull wire from the existing high school to the new restroom building. A mandatory pre-bid meeting for Prime Contractors will be held on two dates: Monday, April 7, 2024, at 10:00 A.M. and Tuesday, April 8, 2024, at 2:00 P.M. Bids are due on Monday, April 14, 2024, at 10:00 A.M. Eastern Standard Time, with a required bid security deposit of not less than 5% of the total bid amount. The project has a desired completion date of Monday, April 1, 2026, with potential on-site work beginning on or after Monday, June 9, 2024. Bidders must submit completed Familial Disclosure and Iran Economic Sanctions Act Affidavits and provide unit prices for specific construction activities.

While no specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly mentioned in the documentation, bidders are required to list proposed subcontractors for various aspects of the work, including excavation, concrete, building, electrical, plumbing, and roofing. The contract will be awarded as a lump sum fixed price, and bidders must demonstrate capability across multiple construction disciplines. The project will be designed and overseen by Dynamic Design Group, Inc., an engineering and architectural firm located in Escanaba. Though a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the plans and the detailed specifications suggest a substantial infrastructure investment. The project appears to be funded through the school district's capital improvement or construction budget, with careful consideration given to site access, existing utilities, and minimizing disruptions to school activities. Potential contractors should be prepared to work around tennis court schedules and student traffic while meeting modern building standards for energy efficiency and accessibility.
