General construction - bldg add on

Zeeland Public Schools, located in Ottawa County, Michigan, is soliciting sealed bids for a comprehensive high school renovation project at Zeeland East High School. The procurement involves general construction services for a multi-phase project that includes a new addition and renovation of the Performing Arts area, a new classroom wing, and interior renovations for a science room, toilet rooms, and folding fire partitions. Bidders must be reputable organizations with at least five years of successful experience in similar projects, appropriate licensing, and sufficient financial resources. A mandatory pre-bid construction meeting is scheduled for September 22nd, 2025, at 3:15pm in the high school's north parking lot, with sealed bids due by 2:00pm EST on October 9, 2025, at the ZPS Administration Offices. The project timeline spans from April 2026 to March 2027, with bid documents available on the Owen-Ames-Kimball website and various Builders Exchange plan rooms.

Bidders are required to submit a 5% bid security, with performance, labor, and material bonds mandatory for contracts exceeding $50,000. The bid securities must be from a surety company with an A- rating or better and will be held until the bid "hold-firm" date or a subcontract is executed. Each bid must include a notarized Familial Disclosure Statement in accordance with Section 1267 of the Revised School Code. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are mentioned in the documentation, the procurement appears to be open to qualified construction firms with demonstrated capabilities in school renovation projects. The comprehensive nature of the project suggests a significant investment in modernizing and expanding the school's facilities, though specific budget ranges are not explicitly detailed in the provided documentation.
