Bid Package 28B – Temporary Power Connections

Rochester Community Schools is seeking bids for Bid Package 28B, a Temporary Power Connections project as part of their 2020 Sinking Fund Project. The procurement is for electrical work to be completed at multiple school locations, with Frank Rewold and Sons Inc. serving as the Construction Manager and Ghafari as the Architect. A non-mandatory pre-bid walk-through is scheduled for 10:00 a.m. on Wednesday, December 13, 2023, at Adams High School in Rochester Hills, Michigan, where potential bidders can visit multiple school sites. Bid documents will be available starting December 7, 2023, through the Frank Rewold and Sons Portal, with all technical questions to be directed exclusively to Mike Gagnon, the project estimator. Sealed bids are due by 2:00 p.m. EST on Thursday, December 21, 2023, and must be submitted to Jennifer Fickel at the Frank Rewold and Sons Inc. office. The bid requires a 5% bid security, with bid bonds mandatory and certified or cashier checks acceptable for bids under $50,000.

The procurement appears open to qualified electrical contractors with no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises mentioned in the documentation. For contracts exceeding $50,000, contractors must obtain Performance and Payment Bonds. Bidders are required to submit several mandatory documents, including a completed W-9 form, an Iran Economic Sanctions Act Certification, and a Familial Disclosure Affidavit disclosing any relationships between the bidder and Rochester Community Schools' Board of Education or Superintendent. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive bid package suggests this is a significant infrastructure project involving temporary power connections across multiple school facilities. The project is not tax-exempt for state sales tax, and bidders must comply with all specified administrative requirements, including providing detailed vendor information through the Rochester Community Schools Vendor Application form.
