Interior Renovations for Bay Arenac ISD LLC Bay

Bay Arenac Intermediate School District (ISD) is procuring interior renovation construction services for its Living and Learning Center located at 1435 W. Center Road in Essexville, Michigan through a sealed-bid, lump-sum (fixed-price) contract. The project, designated Project No. 2613, encompasses comprehensive interior renovations including demolition and reconfiguration of partition walls, installation of new HVAC ductwork and diffusers, plumbing modifications, gypsum board assemblies, acoustical ceilings, resilient flooring, steel doors and frames, door hardware, paints and coatings, joint sealers, and cold-formed metal framing. The renovation scope affects multiple spaces including classrooms, offices, open office areas, and toilet facilities, with all work required to comply with Michigan Barrier Free Code, ADA accessibility requirements, Michigan Building Code, Michigan Plumbing Code, Michigan Mechanical & Energy Code, and applicable OSHA standards. Key deliverables include submission of shop drawings for approval, as-built documentation, one-year warranties on all work, and testing and balancing reports certified by a NEBB or NBI certified firm. Contractors must coordinate among all trades to resolve conflicts and maintain headroom and accessibility compliance, with mechanical contractors responsible for hiring licensed fire protection contractors to remove and relocate sprinkler heads in accordance with NFPA 13. A mandatory bidders conference is scheduled for May 18, 2026, at 2:30 p.m. at the project site, with sealed bids due by 1:00 p.m. local standard time on May 28, 2026, to the Owner's office at 4228 Bay-Arenac Drive, Bay City, Michigan 48706. Bids must remain open and irrevocable for 60 days following the bid closing date, and all bidders must prequalify per the Instructions to Bidders and comply with Bay County prevailing wage requirements, submitting weekly payroll documentation with signed compliance statements throughout the project.

No set-aside designations or restrictions on organization type are identified in the procurement documents; however, all bidders are required to submit a Familial Disclosure Form, Assurances and Certifications, and an Affidavit of Compliance with the Iran Economic Sanctions Act (Michigan Public Act 517 of 2012). Bidders must provide a Bid Bond of no less than 5 percent of the bid amount, and the successful contractor must furnish a Performance Bond and Labor and Material Payment Bond, each equal to 100 percent of the contract sum, within 15 days of proposal acceptance. The project documents incorporate the 2017 edition of the AIA General Conditions of the Contract for Construction (AIA Document A-201) and reference AIA A701 Instructions to Bidders. The contract includes a $2,500 contingency allowance and a deductive alternate for owner-provided demountable partitions and doors in lieu of gypsum board walls and hollow metal doors for three specified offices. While no specific contract award value is stated in the available documents, the project scope and bonding requirements suggest a substantial renovation project; the contract completion date will be determined by adding the identified contract time in weeks from the Notice to Proceed. No incumbent vendors or existing technology integration requirements are noted in the procurement materials.
