Community Center Primary Electric Relocation

Howell Public Schools is seeking bids for the Community Center Electric Primary Relocation project located at 1224 W. Grand River Avenue in Howell, Michigan, as part of their 2023 Bond Program. The procurement involves relocating and replacing existing electric primary switchgear and transformers, with bid documents available for download from Precon Suite starting October 23rd, 2025. A non-mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for October 27th, 2025, at 1:00 PM at the project site, and bids are due by 12:00 PM (EST) on November 10th, 2025. Bidders can submit proposals electronically through Precon Suite or via hard copy to the Howell Public Schools Administration Building. A bid guaranty of 5% is required for bids over the state threshold of $31,321, which can be submitted as a certified cashier's check or U.S. treasury listed security bond. Successful bidders with proposals of $50,000 or more must provide a Performance and Payment Bond for 100% of their bid amount. The Board of Education reserves the right to reject any or all bids and will award the contract based on the best interest of the owner, not necessarily to the lowest bidder.

Bid submissions must include sworn statements disclosing familial relationships with school board members and compliance with the Iran Economic Sanctions Act. Bids will be publicly opened via a Microsoft Teams virtual meeting, with access details provided in the bid documentation. While no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on bidder types are mentioned, the comprehensive bid requirements suggest a competitive procurement process. The project is located in Livingston County, Michigan, and appears to be focused on electrical infrastructure upgrade and relocation. No specific budget range or award value is explicitly stated in the documentation, though the requirement for performance bonds on contracts over $50,000 implies potential project complexity and value. The procurement is specifically for Howell Public Schools and appears to be part of a broader infrastructure improvement initiative under their 2023 Bond Program.
