HS Auditorium Renovation

The Oscoda Area School Board is seeking qualified general contractors for a comprehensive renovation project at Oscoda Area Schools High School, located in Iosco County, Michigan. The procurement involves multiple renovation components, including constructing an auditorium A/V desk, replacing stage lighting structure, kitchen renovation, shower room upgrades, and HVAC improvements. Potential bidders must submit sealed proposals by September 26th, 2025, at 3:00 pm, with a mandatory bid walkthrough scheduled for September 3rd, 2025, at 3:50 E River Rd in Oscoda Township. Contractors are required to provide a bid guaranty in the form of either a full bid amount contract bond or a certified/cashier's check/irrevocable letter of credit for 10% of the bid. Additional submission requirements include a sworn and notarized statement disclosing any familial relationships between the bidder and school board members. The project timeline targets construction commencement on September 15th with substantial completion expected by March 1st, 2026, spanning approximately 22 weeks of work.

The contract opportunity does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. While no incumbent vendors are directly mentioned, the school district reserves the right to waive minor bid irregularities, reject any or all bids, and conduct investigations to determine bidder responsibility. The project involves integration with existing electrical systems, including specific requirements for electrical circuits, receptacle locations, lighting fixtures, and conduit routing. The district will separately manage an AV contractor, indicating a complex, multi-vendor approach to the renovation. Though a specific award value is not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the renovation—involving auditorium infrastructure, stage lighting, kitchen, shower rooms, and HVAC systems—suggests a significant capital investment. Bidders are advised that this is not a prevailing wage job, and all questions should be directed to specified email contacts Dustin DeWitt and Brandon Andrzejczak.
