BP 11 Remodeling - Ft. Gratiot Middle, Roosevelt Elem

The Port Huron Area School District is seeking bids for a comprehensive remodeling project under Bid Package #11, which is part of a 2016 Bond Issue covering facilities at Fort Gratiot Middle School and Roosevelt Elementary School. The procurement involves 18 distinct bid divisions, including selective demolition, concrete, masonry, steel, carpentry, roofing, windows, drywall, flooring, painting, plumbing, HVAC, and electrical work. Sealed bids are due on Thursday, February 14, 2019, at 1:30 P.M., with a public bid opening scheduled immediately afterward at 1:35 P.M. A mandatory pre-bid meeting is required on Tuesday, February 5, 2019, at 1:30 P.M. in the Port Huron School's Board of Education Meeting Room. Bidders must submit two copies of multiple forms, including Proposal Pricing, Proposal Execution, Iran Economic Sanctions Act Affidavit, and Criminal Background Check Affidavit. The bid requires a 5% bid security, and potential awardees may need to provide Performance and Labor and Material Payment Bonds for 100% of the contract price. Bidding documents are available through Gradebeam.com or by contacting McCarthy & Smith, Inc., the Construction Manager.

The solicitation does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Bidders are expected to comply with various administrative requirements, including providing affidavits related to economic sanctions and criminal background checks. The Port Huron Area School District reserves the right to reject any or all bids, waive informalities, and select a bid other than the lowest submitted. While specific budget ranges are not detailed in the available documentation, the comprehensive nature of the 18-division remodeling project suggests a significant capital investment. Bidders will need to demonstrate technical capability across multiple construction disciplines, including specialized skills in demolition, structural work, mechanical systems, and finishing trades. The project appears to be funded through a 2016 Bond Issue, indicating a structured approach to facility improvements within the school district.
