Bid Package 36 – West MS ASD Classroom Renovation

Rochester Community Schools is seeking bids for Bid Package 36, a classroom renovation project at West Middle School located in Rochester Hills, Michigan. The project is part of the district's 2020 Sinking Fund initiative and will focus on renovating ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) classrooms. The construction management will be handled by Frank Rewold and Sons Inc., with architectural design by Ghafari. Bid documents became available on November 9, 2023, with a non-mandatory pre-bid walkthrough scheduled for November 21, 2023, at 9:00 a.m. at the school's main office entrance. Sealed bids are due by 2:00 p.m. EST on November 28, 2023, and must be submitted to Jennifer Fickel at Frank Rewold and Sons Inc. Potential bidders are required to use the provided bid forms and submit proposals in a sealed envelope. All questions regarding the bid should be directed to Mike Gagnon, and bidders must include a 5% bid security, with specific requirements for bid bonds and performance/payment bonds depending on the bid category value.

The procurement opportunity does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. However, bidders must complete several mandatory administrative documents, including a Familial Disclosure Affidavit revealing any relationships between the bidder and school board members, and an Iran Economic Sanctions Affidavit certifying the bidder is not an "Iran Linked Business". Potential vendors must also complete a standard Rochester Community Schools Vendor Application and provide a W-9 form. While specific budget ranges are not detailed in the documents, the project is part of a larger sinking fund initiative, suggesting allocated funds for the classroom renovation. Penalties for false certifications can be substantial, including potential civil penalties up to $250,000 or two times the contract amount, and potential three-year bidding ineligibility. The project is not tax-exempt for state sales tax, and all bidders must carefully review and comply with the comprehensive bid documentation requirements.
