FPS 2023 Bond - BP9: Operations & Bus Garage

Fraser Public Schools is procuring construction services through a sealed bid process for the FPS 2023 Bond - BP9: Operations & Bus Garage project, a comprehensive renovation initiative affecting both Macomb County and Flint City jurisdictions in Michigan. The procurement solicits bids for two primary trade categories: General Trades and Roofing services for the renovation of the Operations & Maintenance Building and Bus Garage located at 33499 Klein Road, Fraser, Michigan 48026. Deliverables include general construction work, roofing with tapered insulation meeting R-30 specifications, overhead door installation, storefront systems, masonry, drywall, acoustical ceilings, painting, carpeting, specialty finishes including quartz surface specifications for windowsills, and Hardy Board and Batten Siding options. Required qualifications include submission of a 5% bid security from a qualified surety, an Experience Modification Rate (EMR) not exceeding 1.0, Performance Bonds, Payment Bonds, and Certificates of Insurance prior to contract award, and potential pre-qualification requirements as determined by Barton Malow Builders, the appointed Construction Manager. The bid proposal submission deadline is April 7, 2026, at 12:00 p.m. local time via Building Connected, with a virtual public bid opening scheduled for the same date. Bidding documents are available through Building Connected and CAM/Plan rooms beginning March 19, 2026, and an optional pre-bid conference and site visit will be conducted on March 24, 2026, at 10:30 a.m. General Trades bidders must provide detailed labor rates and equipment pricing for approval and commit to providing a full-time on-site superintendent, daily 6:45 a.m. coordination meetings, daily electronic reporting via Autodesk Build, and a $10,000 allowance for unidentified general trades work at the Construction Manager's direction.

This procurement contains no identified set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, minority-owned businesses, or women-owned businesses based on the available documentation. Barton Malow Builders serves as the Construction Manager and primary point of contact for this project, with Wakely Associates Architects responsible for bidding document preparation. The project is not subject to prevailing wage requirements, reducing labor cost compliance burdens for bidders. Bidders must include state sales and use taxes in their proposals and are responsible for securing their own utility locates through Miss Dig and private utility locators, with liability and minimum $1,500 administrative charges applicable for any utility strikes. Successful bidders will enter into contracts with Fraser Public Schools using the AIA Document A132-2019 Standard Form of Agreement, and bid proposals cannot be withdrawn or revoked for 90 days following the bid due date. While specific award values or budget ranges are not disclosed in the available documents, the scope of work involving comprehensive building renovation, multiple specialty trades, and bond-funded construction suggests a substantial project budget, with the $10,000 general trades allowance providing baseline reference for scale.
