Specific construction trades being solicited include concrete, masonry, steel, carpentry, roofing, electrical, plumbing, and pool construction services. Proposals are due on Wednesday, April 2nd, 2025, at or before 11:00 AM, to be submitted at Riley Farms Elementary School. The project has a projected substantial completion date of November 29, 2027, and will involve multiple bid packages, with Bid Package #01 for utility relocation already awarded. Evaluation criteria include compliance with the requested schedule, lowest responsive proposal, and alignment with the owner's best interests. Post-bid interviews are tentatively scheduled for April 3-7, 2025, and bidders are required to include Michigan Sales & Use Tax and other applicable taxes in their proposals.

The procurement does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Bidders are encouraged to submit voluntary alternates and combined proposals for multiple work categories, provided each work category is individually quoted. Bid security, performance bonds, and payment bonds will be required for successful contractors. While specific budget ranges are not disclosed in the available documentation, the project involves a comprehensive multi-trade construction effort for a new community facility. The owner, West Ottawa Public Schools, reserves the right to accept or reject any portion of a bid and is not obligated to accept the lowest bid. Successful bidders will be selected based on their ability to meet project requirements, demonstrate competitive pricing, and provide the most advantageous proposal for the school district's needs.
