Elevator Modernization - KHS & KMS

Kalamazoo Public Schools is soliciting proposals for elevator modernization at Kalamazoo High School (KHS) and Kalamazoo Middle School (KMS), with proposals due October 30, 2026.

The scope encompasses comprehensive modernization of multiple elevators at both facilities, including mechanical and electrical upgrades, control system replacements, and associated architectural modifications. Contractors must demonstrate experience with educational facility elevator systems and maintain compliance with all applicable building codes, ADA requirements, and Michigan safety regulations. Work scheduling must accommodate the school calendar to minimize disruption to educational operations. The selected contractor will be responsible for obtaining all necessary permits and coordinating with district facilities personnel throughout the modernization timeline.

The contract will include performance bonds and insurance requirements. Payment terms and pricing structures are to be established during the bidding process. The project is funded through the school district's capital improvement budget and facility maintenance allocation.
