Clawson Public Schools issued Summer 2019 Work Bid Pack #1, a construction procurement for general trades and sitework improvements at Clawson High School and Paul A. Schalm Elementary School in Oakland County, Michigan. The project encompasses two distinct proposals: Proposal A (General Trades) and Proposal B (Sitework), with contractors having the option to submit a combination proposal. Bidders must submit original proposals and two copies by 1:00 PM on Monday, March 11, 2019, with public bid opening scheduled for 1:15 PM the same day. A non-mandatory pre-bid walkthrough is available on Monday, March 4, 2019, at 3:00 PM at the school's central office located at 626 Phillips Avenue, Clawson, Michigan 48017. All work must be completed by August 12, 2019. Bidding documents became available on February 21, 2019, from ARC (1009 W. Maple Road, Clawson, Michigan 48107) or electronically through Wakely Associates Inc. (586-573-4100 or aduda@wakelyaia.com). Required qualifications include submission of a notarized familial disclosure form compliant with Michigan law, and contractors must provide a certified check, cashier's check, or surety bid bond equal to at least five percent of the total bid price. For bids exceeding $50,000, contractors must furnish a U.S. Treasury Listed Performance and Payment Bond equal to 100 percent of the contract amount, with costs included in the bid. Comprehensive general liability insurance with minimum limits of $2,000,000 aggregate and $1,000,000 per occurrence is mandatory, with Clawson Public Schools named as additional insured. Work must comply with current Michigan Department of Transportation standards and specifications where applicable.

The procurement documents do not identify any specific set-asides or restrictions limiting responses to particular classes of organizations or disadvantaged enterprises. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are referenced in the available documentation. The specifications incorporate AIA Document A-201 (2017 Edition) General Conditions with modifications, and Michigan sales tax is applicable to all work. The school district reserves the right to accept or reject any and all bids and to negotiate contract terms as deemed in the owner's best interest. No specific budget range or award value is provided in the procurement notice; however, the requirement for Performance and Payment Bonds on contracts exceeding $50,000 suggests the potential for significant project values. Contractors should note that all proposals must demonstrate compliance with the comprehensive technical specifications and insurance requirements outlined in the bid documents.
