Education and Technology Paving Project

The Lapeer County Intermediate School District (LCISD) Board of Education issued a Request for Proposal for the repaving of the main parking lots and bus loop approaches at the Education and Technology Center located at 690 North Lake Pleasant Road in Attica, Michigan. This procurement solicits sealed bids for the complete removal and replacement of approximately 90,000 square feet of asphalt parking area, which includes milling off four inches of existing asphalt, completing necessary base work and grading for proper drainage, and installing four inches of new commercial asphalt in two lifts (two inches of 3C asphalt topped with two inches of 13A asphalt). All materials must be compacted and parking lots must be striped per the provided layout. The mandatory pre-bid meeting and site walkthrough is scheduled for March 31, 2026, at 10:00 AM at the project site, with all project questions to be addressed at that time. Sealed bids are due by April 7, 2026, at 2:00 PM at the LCISD Administration Building, 1175 South Lapeer Road, Lapeer, Michigan 48446, with public bid opening occurring immediately thereafter. Work must commence no later than July 1, 2026, and be completed by August 10, 2026, with work hours restricted to 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM, Monday through Friday. Bidders must submit one original and two copies of proposals along with required documentation including a statement of qualifications, notarized ethical standards affidavit, notarized conflict of interest affidavit, certificate of liability insurance, and assurances and certifications. The award shall be made to the most responsible vendor whose proposal is most advantageous to the LCISD based on reputation, experience, financial condition, and responsiveness to RFP requirements.

There are no designated set-asides or restrictions limiting the types of organizations that can respond to this procurement. Bidders must meet specified insurance requirements including workers' compensation with minimum limits of $100,000 per person and $500,000 aggregate, commercial general liability of $1,000,000 per occurrence, professional liability coverage, and motor vehicle liability insurance of $1,000,000 combined single limit. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the solicitation materials, and the project does not reference integration with existing infrastructure or technology beyond standard parking lot operations. Bids exceeding $50,000 must be accompanied by a certified check or bid bond equal to 5 percent of the base bid, and all proposals must remain valid for 60 days from submission. The contractor must obtain all required state permits and inspections prior to final payment and provide a minimum one-year warranty on all equipment, supplies, parts, and labor against defects in design, materials, and workmanship. This is a non-prevailing wage project with all pricing guaranteed for six months from the award date. No specific budget range or award value is disclosed in the solicitation materials; however, the $50,000 threshold for bid security requirements suggests the project value may exceed this amount.
