The procurement involves furnishing and installing commercial chain link fencing, specifically 2,089 linear feet of 48-inch high fencing at Gates Elementary and 267 linear feet of 72-inch high fencing at Hill Elementary, which will include multiple walk and drive gates. Bidders must provide a comprehensive proposal detailing materials, labor costs, and project timeline, along with proof of licensing, bonding, and insurance, and at least three references for similar projects completed within the past three years. The bid documents require contractors to comply with Michigan Prevailing Wages on State Projects Act and submit an Iran Sanctions Form and a sworn, notarized Familial Affidavit. The bid submission deadline is Monday, April 28, 2025, at 11:30 a.m. at the Cardinal Center, with a mandatory pre-bid walkthrough scheduled for Monday, April 21, 2025, at 4:00 p.m. starting at Hill Elementary School. The project must be completed within 45 days from the start date, with final completion no later than July 31, 2025.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly mentioned in the bid documents. The project requires contractors to provide a minimum 1-year warranty on installation workmanship and manufacturer warranties on materials, with specific requirements for weather resistance and corrosion protection. While no incumbent vendors are identified, the bid specifications indicate that contractors must demonstrate expertise in commercial fencing installation through their reference projects. The documents do not specify a precise budget range or award value, though the comprehensive technical specifications suggest a substantial infrastructure investment. Bidders will be evaluated based on their ability to meet technical specifications, provide comprehensive documentation, comply with prevailing wage regulations, and demonstrate previous successful completion of similar fencing projects. The owner reserves the right to accept or reject any and all bids, with the ability to waive bidding irregularities and maintain bid consideration for 30 days after the bid opening.
