Bid 9845 Elementary Schools - M & E Upgrade-Door Replacement

Bid 9845 is a construction procurement issued by Troy School District in Troy, Michigan, through Berrien County, for mechanical and electrical (M & E) upgrades and exterior door replacements at four elementary schools: Costello, Martell, Morse, and Leonard Elementary Schools. The project is being managed by Barton Malow Company as the Construction Manager and is funded under the Troy School District's 2013 Bond Program Series 2, Bid Package #21. The scope of work encompasses five primary bid categories: General Trades, Doors/Frames/Hardware, Mechanical systems, Temperature Controls, and Electrical systems, with specific deliverables including emergency battery ballast installations, boiler replacements, unit ventilator replacements, and comprehensive exterior door replacements. Additional work involving piping removal and replacement at three additional schools (Barnard, Bemis, and Wass) will be issued as an addendum. Contractors must be qualified to perform construction work in Michigan and must comply with all state prevailing wage requirements under Public Act 166. A pre-bid walk-through was held on October 25, 2017, at Costello Elementary School, with bid proposals due by 2:00 pm on November 7, 2017. The project schedule includes milestone dates spanning from January 2018 through August 24, 2018, with final payment contingent upon completion of all closeout documentation, warranties, guarantees, and operations and maintenance manuals.

This procurement requires bid security equal to five percent of the Base Bid amount in the form of a bid bond, certified check, or cashier's check, and mandates Performance and Payment Bonds equal to the Agreement price using AIA Document A312. There are no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on organization types identified in the available documentation. Contractors must provide comprehensive insurance coverage including Commercial General Liability with limits of $2,000,000 per occurrence, Workers' Compensation with Employers' Liability coverage of $1,000,000, and Automobile Liability of $1,000,000 per accident, naming both Barton Malow Company and Troy School District as additional insureds. No incumbent vendors or existing contractors are referenced in the procurement documents. All work is subject to state sales and use taxes, which bidders must include in their proposals. While specific award values or budget ranges are not disclosed in the available documentation, the scope and scale of work across four elementary schools with multiple trades suggests a substantial contract value.
