Bay Arenac ISD Parking Lot Resurfacing

Bay Arenac Intermediate School District (ISD) is procuring sealed bids for a lump-sum, fixed-price parking lot resurfacing project located at 4155 Monitor Road, Bay City, Michigan. The scope of work encompasses comprehensive construction and demolition activities including removal of existing asphalt pavement, site clearing and grubbing, earthwork and subgrade preparation, installation of flexible asphalt pavement with multiple courses, rigid concrete paving for sidewalks and curbs, chain link fencing installation, and seeding of disturbed areas. The project covers approximately 40,000 square yards of surface area designed to accommodate parking and light-duty commercial vehicles. Sealed bids were due by 2:00 p.m. on April 1, 2026, with bids remaining open and irrevocable for sixty (60) days following the bid closing date. The contract will commence within ten (10) calendar days of the Owner's written notice to proceed, with contract time to be specified by the bidder in the proposal form. Bid security equal to at least five percent (5%) of the total bid amount is required in the form of a certified check or surety bond, and performance bonds and labor and material payment bonds, each equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the contract sum, must be provided within fifteen (15) days of proposal acceptance. The project architect is TSSF Architects Inc., with project manager Ken Kerr serving as the Owner's primary contact.

This procurement is subject to Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements, which restricts eligible contractors to those capable of complying with federal wage standards. Comprehensive insurance coverage is mandatory, including workers' compensation with employer's liability of at least $100,000, comprehensive general liability with minimum coverage of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate, comprehensive automobile liability, and umbrella liability coverage of $2,000,000 per occurrence and aggregate. A contingency allowance of $25,000 is included for use upon architect/engineer instruction, with contractor costs for products, delivery, installation, labor, insurance, payroll taxes, bonding, equipment rental, overhead, and profit incorporated into change orders. Monthly payment procedures are established with pay requests due on the 30th of each month and payment distributed by the 21st of the following month. The specific bid amount and total project budget are not disclosed in the procurement documents; however, the scope and scale of work suggest a substantial contract value given the 40,000 square yards of surface area and comprehensive infrastructure improvements required. The Owner reserves the right to reject any or all bids and waive irregularities in the bidding process.
