Bond bid package T13_district head-end room renovation

Birmingham Public Schools in Michigan is conducting a procurement for the District Head-End Room Renovation project (T13 Bond Bid Package, Project #15105F) at Birmingham Covington School. The project involves comprehensive renovations to a head-end room, including selective demolition, electrical upgrades, clean-agent fire extinguishing systems, and architectural improvements. Deliverables include complete electrical infrastructure modifications, power distribution systems, communications infrastructure, and fire safety enhancements. The project requires contractors to perform work primarily during school hours (7:30 AM to 4:00 PM, Monday through Friday) without disrupting school operations. Key procurement dates include a March 6, 2018 pre-bid meeting, March 8, 2018 deadline for clarification requests, and bid submissions due March 12, 2018 at 1:00 PM EST. The anticipated construction timeline indicates work will start July 2, 2018, with project completion by January 15, 2019, and owner occupancy expected in February 2019. Contractors must provide performance and payment bonds for contracts over $50,000, set at 100% of the contract price, and maintain comprehensive insurance coverage.

While no specific set-aside designations were explicitly detailed in the procurement documents, the project requires contractors to submit various compliance documents including familial disclosure, Iran sanctions affidavit, and school safety affidavit. The procurement appears structured for multiple contract awards across different trade categories, with fire protection bids already received from Absolute Fire Protection (base bid $59,235) and Healey Fire Protection Inc. (base bid $69,855). Contractors must be capable of working within a school technology infrastructure environment and providing turnkey solutions for complex electrical and communications systems. The project is funded through Birmingham Public Schools' 2015 Bond Program, with the contract expected to be awarded in May 2018. While specific total budget is not disclosed, the documents suggest a multi-phase project with potential contract values ranging from $50,000 to several hundred thousand dollars, depending on the specific trade and scope of work.
