Hillside Elementary Renovations

Harrison Community Schools is procuring construction services through a sealed competitive bidding process for the Hillside Elementary Renovations project, a 2017 Bond Projects initiative located in Harrison, Michigan, within Clinton County. The project requires separate prime contractors for multiple specialized bid divisions including structural demolition, concrete, masonry, metals, carpentry, roofing, glass and glazing, drywall insulation and acoustical work, wood flooring, flooring, epoxy flooring, painting, casework, plumbing, HVAC systems, temperature controls, electrical work, cabling, and site work. All bidders must submit sealed proposals on provided bid forms by 3:00 PM on April 29, 2021, at the Harrison Community Schools Administration Office, with public bid opening and reading scheduled for 3:15 PM the same day. A mandatory pre-bid meeting and project walk-through will be held on April 15, 2021, at 3:00 PM at the Hillside Elementary Media Center, conducted by Construction Manager Wolgast Corporation and Architect Integrated Designs, Inc. Bidding documents are available through Wolgast Corporation for a $100 refundable plan deposit fee per paper set. Bid security equal to five percent (5%) of the Base Bid is required in the form of a Bid Bond, Cashier's Check, or Money Order, with bids remaining non-withdrawable for sixty (60) days after the bid date. Contract awards are anticipated on or about May 12, 2021, and all clarification requests regarding bidding procedures, design, and specifications must be submitted using the formal Clarification Request Form directed to Construction Manager Jeff Bates.

All bidders must comply with Michigan law requirements, including submission of a sworn and notarized familial disclosure statement as mandated by MCL 380.1267. The solicitation contains no identified set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises or restrictions on organizational types eligible to bid; however, the Owner reserves the right to reject any or all proposals, accept a bid other than the low bid, and waive any irregularities or errors in bid proposals. Wolgast Corporation will serve as the overall project administrator with direct contracts established between the Owner and each separate prime contractor. No specific budget range or award value is stated in the available solicitation documents, and no incumbent vendors or existing contractors are identified. The project scope indicates multiple construction trades will be required, suggesting substantial project costs, though exact financial parameters are not disclosed in the provided materials.
