Elementary Schools Remodeling and Partial Reroofing

Ellsworth Community Schools is seeking bids for an Elementary School Remodeling and Partial Reroofing project located in Ellsworth, Michigan, within Cass County and Edmore Village. The procurement is structured as an Invitation to Bid, with sealed bids due by 10:30 AM local time on July 2, 2025, to be opened publicly in the Superintendent's Office. A mandatory Pre-Bid Conference is scheduled for June 18, 2025, at 1:00 PM in the Ellsworth Elementary School Media Center, where potential bidders can gather project details. The project encompasses comprehensive remodeling work and partial reroofing of the Elementary School building, with bidding documents available for download from www.sugarconstruction.com/current-bids starting June 5, 2025. Bidders are required to submit a 5% bid security through a Bid Bond or certified check, along with sworn statements regarding familial relationships and compliance with the Iran Economic Sanctions Act. The remodeling portion will be partially funded by State grant funds, which mandates prevailing wage rates for construction mechanics, while the reroofing segment is exempt from prevailing wage requirements. Bids will remain valid for 60 days after submission, and the Owner reserves the right to accept, reject, or make awards in the best interest of the school district.

The procurement does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The bidding documents do not reference incumbent vendors or existing infrastructure requiring integration. Performance and Labor/Material Payment Bonds will not be required for this project, which may indicate a relatively moderate scope and complexity. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the inclusion of both remodeling and partial reroofing suggests a substantial capital investment. The project's funding includes State grant support, which implies potential oversight and compliance requirements beyond standard municipal procurement processes. The location within Cass County and Edmore Village suggests this is a rural school district project with potential economic development implications for the local community. Bidders should be prepared to demonstrate technical capabilities in school facility renovation, particularly in elementary school environments, with a focus on comprehensive remodeling and roofing expertise.
