Bond Bid Package II - Site Improvements and Cooling Tower

Grosse Ile Township Schools is soliciting bids for Bond Bid Package II, a comprehensive construction project involving site improvements and cooling tower upgrades at two educational facilities: Meridian Elementary School and Grosse Ile High School. The procurement is for a public works project that includes site concrete work, cooling tower modifications, and associated infrastructure enhancements. Key project elements involve installing insulated condenser water piping above and below roof lines, completing track and pavement work, and potentially implementing site fencing. Bidders must submit sealed proposals by March 12, 2018, at 12:00 PM, with a pre-bid meeting scheduled for March 5, 2018, at 3:00 PM at the high school's main entrance lobby. Qualification requirements include submitting a 5% bid bond for proposals exceeding $23,881, completing a Familial Disclosure Statement, and providing an Affidavit of Compliance with the Iran Economic Sanctions Act. Proposals must remain valid for 60 days, and all work is subject to Michigan Prevailing Wages Act regulations.

The procurement appears open to general contractors without specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. Bidders must demonstrate capability to perform complex educational facility improvements, with successful contractors required to furnish a 100% Performance and Payment Bond for proposals of $50,000 or more. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly detailed, the comprehensive nature of site improvements and cooling tower work suggests a substantial project investment. The school district reserves the right to reject any or all bids and select the proposal deemed most advantageous. Bidding documents are available through Pipeline Suite or can be reviewed at George W. Auch Company's offices. The project is located in Wayne County, Michigan, and involves upgrades to existing school infrastructure, potentially interfacing with the existing JCI Niagara control system for the cooling tower.
