Berkley Schools Bid Pack 5: Gym and locker room renovations

Berkley Schools is seeking bids for a comprehensive gymnasium and locker room renovation project spanning four educational facilities: Anderson Middle School, Norup School, Berkley High School, and Avery Early Childhood Center. The procurement opportunity encompasses 18 distinct bid divisions, including earthwork, site utilities, demolition, masonry, carpentry, roofing, flooring, painting, plumbing, HVAC, electrical, fencing, and specialized trades such as gymnasium wood flooring, metal lockers, and gymnasium equipment. Sealed bids must be submitted electronically through Building Connected by 1:00 PM on Thursday, October 23, 2025, with bidding documents available starting October 2, 2025, through Building Connected, McCarthy & Smith, Inc. offices, the Construction Association of Michigan Plan Room, and the Builder's Exchange. A mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for Thursday, October 9, 2025, at 4:00 PM at Anderson Middle School, allowing potential bidders to visit project sites. Bid evaluation will include review of required documentation, including a Familial Disclosure Affidavit, an Iran Linked Business Affidavit, and a Criminal Background Check Affidavit.

The procurement requires bidders to provide a bid bond or certified bank check equal to five percent of the bid amount, with potential for awarded contractors to furnish Performance and Labor and Material Payment Bonds at 100 percent of the contract price. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are mentioned, the bid documents indicate a rigorous qualification process that will assess bidders' capabilities and compliance with administrative requirements. Berkley Schools reserves the right to reject any or all bids, waive informalities, and select a bid that may not necessarily be the lowest submitted. The bid opening will be conducted publicly via Zoom meeting, with successful bidders required to execute contracts and provide insurance certificates and bonds within ten days of award notification. Although specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the renovations across multiple facilities suggests a substantial project scope with potentially significant financial investment.
