Clarkston 2016 Bond Projects - Bid Package 9

Clarkston Community Schools' Board of Education is procuring general construction services through Bid Package 9 of the 2016 Bond Projects, a comprehensive improvement initiative affecting six school facilities: Clarkston High School, Clarkston Elementary School, Early Childhood Center, Independence Elementary, Pine Knob Elementary, and Springfield Plains Elementary. The scope of work encompasses a broad range of architectural and construction trades including site work, demolition, concrete, masonry, plumbing, mechanical work, electrical work, carpentry, glazing, underground utilities, paving, turf installation, flooring, and lockers. Bidding documents were prepared by GMB Architecture and Engineering and are available for download through Pipeline or for review at the office of George W. Auch Company, the appointed Construction Manager. A mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for 2:30 pm on Tuesday, November 19, 2019, at Clarkston High School (6093 Flemings Lake Road, Clarkston, MI 48346), with building visits to follow. Sealed proposals in duplicate must be submitted no later than 12:00 pm EST on Tuesday, December 10, 2019, to either Clarkston Community Schools (6389 Clarkston Road, Clarkston, MI 48346) or George W. Auch Company (65 University Drive, Pontiac, MI 48342), with public bid opening at 2:00 pm EST on the same date at the Administration Building. All proposals must remain firm for sixty days and must be accompanied by a bid bond (executed by a Treasury-listed surety or cashier's check) equal to at least 5% of the proposal amount for bids exceeding $24,924, as well as sworn and notarized statements disclosing familial relationships with board members or superintendent and compliance with the Iran Economic Sanctions Act.

Successful bidders submitting proposals of $50,000 or more must furnish a Performance and Payment Bond from a Treasury-listed surety in the amount of 100% of the bid amount, with bond costs to be included within the proposal. The Board of Education reserves the right to reject any or all bids, waive informalities, award to other than the low bidder, and accept the bid it deems in the best interest of the owner, indicating flexibility in the selection process. No specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, minority-owned businesses, women-owned businesses, or other protected classifications are noted in the procurement documents. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the available materials. The specific award value or budget range for Bid Package 9 is not disclosed in the advertisement, though the requirement for performance bonding on proposals of $50,000 or more suggests significant contract values are anticipated.
