Construction of Outbuildings at High School

West Branch-Rose City Area Schools is seeking competitive bids for the construction of outbuildings at Oscoda County High School through a formal bid process. The project, identified as Project No. 2905 with Bid Release No. 07, encompasses seven distinct bid categories: Concrete, Masonry, General Trades, Greenhouse, Plumbing-HVAC, Electrical, and Sitework. Bid documents will be available starting February 4th, 2025, through BuildingConnected.com, with a mandatory pre-bid conference scheduled for February 12th, 2025, at 960 M-33 in West Branch, Michigan. Prospective bidders must submit requests for information by February 17th at noon, with sealed bids due February 25th, 2025, by 12:00pm at the school district offices. Each bid submission must include a 5% bid security in the form of a bid bond or certified check, along with a familial disclosure statement and certification of not being an "Iran linked business." The project will be managed by Clark Construction Company, with Project Manager Travis Tibbetts as the primary point of contact.

The procurement appears to be open to all qualified contractors without specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. Bidders must submit sealed envelope bids with specific labeling requirements, with oral, fax, or email submissions explicitly prohibited. The school district reserves comprehensive discretion to accept or reject any or all bids and to waive any irregularities in the bidding process. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly detailed in the available documentation, the multi-category nature of the project suggests a substantial capital investment for the outbuildings construction. Interested contractors will need to demonstrate technical capability across multiple construction disciplines, including specialized trades like greenhouse construction, plumbing, HVAC, and electrical work. The project represents a significant infrastructure development for the West Branch-Rose City Area Schools, with potential implications for expanding educational facilities and supporting institutional growth.
