Craig Campus Secure Entry 2026

The Muskegon Area Intermediate School District (MAISD) is procuring secure entry renovations for the Craig Campus located at 1580 Park Street, Muskegon, Michigan (Project #1668-26). This is a general contracting procurement requiring a qualified general contractor to coordinate all construction trades, including mechanical, electrical, and fire protection work, to complete secure entry system installation and renovations at the existing facility. The contractor must provide all labor, materials, and permits necessary for the project, including equipment specifications for door and access control components (measuring 18X48, 24X48, and 24X36 units), maintain site safety with proper barricades, provide a full-time field superintendent, and guarantee all work for one year from acceptance. The project will proceed while the campus remains occupied. Key deadlines include a mandatory pre-bid walk-through on March 17, 2026, at 3:30 PM; sealed bid submission by 2:00 PM on April 9, 2026, at MAISD South Administrative Offices (684 Harvey Street, Muskegon, MI 49442); public bid opening immediately following submission; anticipated contract award on April 20, 2026; and construction start on August 7, 2026, with substantial completion by summer 2026. Bidders must submit proposals on the provided form as a lump-sum base bid with separate cost proposals for Performance Bonds and Labor and Material Payment Bonds covering 100 percent of project value, along with bid security equal to five percent of the base bid submitted as a bid bond or certified/cashier's check payable to MAISD.

There are no designated set-asides or disadvantaged enterprise restrictions specified in the procurement documents. All qualified contractors are eligible to bid; however, bidders must comply with specific submission requirements including sworn statements disclosing any familial relationships with MAISD Board of Education members or the Superintendent, and affidavits of compliance with Michigan's Iran Economic Sanctions Act (Michigan Public Act No. 517 of 2012), with false certification carrying civil penalties up to $250,000 or twice the contract amount plus investigation costs. The project is funded with local resources and does not require prevailing wages, though Michigan use and sales tax apply to the project. An addendum issued on March 26, 2026, clarified that all flooring will be provided and installed by the owner or owner's vendor, with prep work to be completed by the contractor as part of the bid quote.
