GRCC Learning Resource Center Renovation - WC 26A, 31A, 32A

The Grand Rapids Community College (GRCC) Learning Resource Center Renovation project is a comprehensive construction procurement opportunity located in Grand Rapids, Michigan, involving complete interior renovation of the existing library and learning resource center. The project encompasses major mechanical systems upgrades, structural modifications, extensive wall and floor plan revisions, plumbing and electrical work, and new architectural finishes, along with a building addition and site reconstruction. Bids are due on June 5, 2025, with a non-mandatory pre-bid meeting scheduled for May 19, 2025, at 10:00 AM at the GRCC Applied Technology Center. The project is classified as a prevailing wage project, requiring all contractors to comply with State of Michigan wage rates and register with the Office of Labor and Economic Opportunity. Work categories include demolition, concrete, masonry, metals, general trades, roofing, curtainwall, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, site work, and landscaping. Evaluation criteria will likely include comprehensive documentation, insurance requirements, and adherence to safety protocols and sustainable design standards (LEED V4). The project timeline indicates selective demolition is currently underway, expected to be completed by May 2025, with remaining work scheduled from early July 2025 to September 2026.

While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed in the documentation, the project appears to be managed by Pioneer Construction and will require extensive trade coordination. The project is located in Kent County and involves multiple construction disciplines, which suggests potential opportunities for local and diverse contractors. No specific incumbent vendors are identified, and the project seems to involve a comprehensive renovation of existing infrastructure without direct technology integration requirements. Although a precise budget is not specified, the scale of work—including major mechanical systems upgrades, structural modifications, and a building addition—suggests a substantial investment. The comprehensive nature of the project, involving multiple trade categories and extensive renovation, indicates a potentially significant contract value. Contractors will need to provide detailed documentation including monthly billing, sworn statements, and lien waivers, with specific insurance requirements covering commercial general liability, automobile liability, workers' compensation, and umbrella coverage.
