Inverness Academy Renovations

Cheboygan Area Schools is seeking sealed bids for two renovation projects: East Elementary Addition and Renovation, and Inverness Academy Renovations. The bid opportunity is located in Chippewa County, specifically in Cheboygan City, Michigan. Sealed bids will be received at the Cheboygan Area Schools Board of Education Office, located at 7461 North Straits Highway, Cheboygan, Michigan 49721, with a strict submission deadline of 1:00 p.m. local time on Thursday, October 2, 2025. Bidding details and project specifications are available electronically through Procore, and interested contractors must contact Sitelogiq at (952) 223-4411 to access these materials. Bidders are required to submit a 5% Bid Security payable to Cheboygan Area Schools, which can be in the form of a certified bank check or bid bond. Additionally, all bid submissions must include two sworn and notarized statements: one disclosing familial relationships between the bidder and school board members or superintendent (as per MCL 380.1267), and another affirming compliance with the Iran Economic Sanctions Act (MCL 129.311). The school district reserves the right to reject any and all bids, in whole or in part, and is not obligated to accept the lowest bid.

While the document does not specify specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises, it does outline important bidding requirements and evaluation criteria. The Cheboygan Area Schools will make award decisions in a manner deemed to be in its best interests, potentially considering factors beyond just the lowest bid. No incumbent vendors or specific budget ranges are explicitly mentioned in the provided documentation. The procurement appears to be focused on renovation projects for educational facilities, suggesting that contractors with experience in school construction and renovation would be most suitable. The ability to provide comprehensive documentation, meet strict submission requirements, and demonstrate compliance with state regulations will likely be key factors in bid evaluation. Potential bidders should be prepared to provide detailed project plans, demonstrate financial stability, and show a clear understanding of the renovation scope for both the East Elementary and Inverness Academy projects.
