Bond bid package T13_district head-end room renovation

Birmingham Public Schools is seeking bids for the Bond Bid Package T13 District Head-End Room Renovation project at Birmingham Covington School in Beverly Hills, Michigan. The procurement is for a comprehensive technology infrastructure and room upgrade, involving selective demolition, mechanical, electrical, and electronic safety system improvements. Key project deliverables include installing new network and communications equipment, upgrading electrical systems, implementing fire suppression systems, and renovating a dedicated head-end room for technical infrastructure. The bid package requires contractors to provide detailed technical capabilities in electrical, mechanical, and communications systems installation. The solicitation timeline includes a second pre-bid meeting scheduled for March 6, 2018, at the school's Technology Services Office, with bid clarification requests due by March 8, 2018, and the final bid opening set for March 12, 2018, at the Birmingham Public Schools Education and Administration Center. Contractors must submit bid security of 5% and provide familial disclosure documentation. The project is expected to commence on July 2, 2018, with construction completion targeted for January 15, 2019, and final owner occupancy in February 2019.

The contract does not specify explicit set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, though it requires bidders to certify they are not an "Iran Linked Business." The project allows for multiple contractors to be awarded across different bid categories, including mechanical and electrical work. No incumbent vendors are identified in the documentation. The existing infrastructure requires careful integration, with contractors mandated to maintain temporary protection of existing owner equipment and coordinate closely with school administrators. Work will primarily be performed during normal school hours (7:30 AM to 4:00 PM, Monday through Friday) without disrupting school operations. While specific budget ranges are not disclosed, the bid requires 100% performance and labor/material payment bonds for contracts valued at $50,000 or greater. Contractors must also provide daily material and equipment transport, as no on-site storage will be available during the renovation.
