Davis Building Granite Steps Removal & Replace Project

The Genesee Intermediate School District (GISD) is seeking competitive bids for the Davis Building Granite Steps Removal & Replace Project located in Flint, Michigan. The procurement involves a comprehensive exterior renovation focusing on removing and reinstalling existing granite steps and furnishing new handrails at the Davis Center. Bidders are required to provide an all-inclusive cost for granite step repair and a unit cost for potential complete granite step replacement, with specific technical requirements including carefully removing and temporarily storing existing granite stone step pieces and repairing cracked steps using dowels and epoxy. A mandatory pre-bid meeting was conducted on June 15, 2018, at 10:00 am, with bid proposals due by 2:00 pm on June 27, 2018. Contractors must submit two notarized documents: a Familial Disclosure statement and a Vendor Certification Form, and provide a 5% bid bond. The project is subject to prevailing wage provisions under Michigan's Act 166 of 1965, and contract documents were available after June 12, 2018, obtainable by emailing Matthew McGaughey at MAYOTTEgroup Architects. All questions regarding bidding procedures and specifications were required to be submitted before 2:00 pm on June 21, 2018.

The procurement does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The Owner (GISD) reserves the right to reject any or all proposals, award the bid to a non-lowest bidder, and waive any bid irregularities. The contract will utilize the AIA 107-2007 Standard Abbreviated Form of Agreement Between Owner and Contractor, with project administration managed by MAYOTTEgroup Architects. Contractors are instructed to protect existing concrete sidewalks and asphalt pavement during construction, and a contract time extension may be considered due to potential stainless steel railing lead times. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the project appears to be funded by the Genesee Intermediate School District and focuses on preserving and improving the exterior infrastructure of the Davis Center. The Owner expects to award the contract within 30 days of the bid due date, with future logistics, staging, and facility use to be discussed during a subsequent kick-off meeting.
