The Norway-Vulcan Area Schools in Delta County, Michigan, is seeking bids for a comprehensive HVAC Bond Project involving three distinct trade packages: General Trades (06 0000), Mechanical (23 0000), and Electrical (26 0000). Gundlach Champion, Inc. serves as the Construction Manager, with OHM Advisors functioning as the Architect/Engineer for this initiative. The procurement process requires sealed bids to be submitted to the Superintendent's office located at 300 Section Street, Norway, Michigan, with a firm deadline of October 29, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. local time. A mandatory Pre-Bid Meeting and site visits are scheduled for October 15, 2025, at 9:00 a.m., which all Prime Contractors are strongly encouraged to attend. Bidders must complete a comprehensive Bid Package using the provided Bid Proposal Form, including an Affidavit of Bidder and an Affidavit of Compliance for Iran Economic Sanctions Act. Additionally, a Bid Security of 5% of the Bid Price is required, and performance and payment bonds are mandatory for contracts exceeding $25,000.

The procurement opportunity is subject to Michigan Prevailing Wages regulations, and bid documents will be accessible starting October 06, 2025, through www.gcfirstplans.com and can be obtained by contacting Judy Brault via email. Bid documents will also be available for viewing at Builder Exchanges in Iron Mountain and Marquette. While no specific set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise requirements are explicitly mentioned, potential bidders should be prepared to demonstrate compliance with local and state procurement guidelines. The project involves upgrades to existing HVAC infrastructure, suggesting potential integration challenges that bidders must address in their proposals. Although a specific budget range is not disclosed, the requirement for performance and payment bonds for contracts over $25,000 indicates the project's substantial scope and financial complexity. Interested contractors should carefully review all documentation and ensure they meet the technical, financial, and regulatory requirements for participation in this school district infrastructure improvement project.
