The Lake Country School District in Waukesha County, Wisconsin, is seeking a single prime contractor to execute a comprehensive doors and windows replacement project as part of district-wide infrastructure improvements funded through an April 2024 capital referendum. The procurement involves replacing the main entrance (Door A) exterior glass doors and storefront, along with interior vestibule doors, and 15 additional exterior doors (Doors B-P), including associated hardware, frames, and system upgrades. Contractors are required to handle all project scopes, trades, subcontractors, local approvals, and permitting. A pre-proposal conference is scheduled for Friday, October 24, 2025, at 9:00 a.m., with site access and building tours available.

The project scope mandates demolition and disposal of existing doors and frames, replacement with thermally broken systems featuring 1-inch insulated glass, ballistic film on all glass surfaces, and comprehensive hardware installation. Proposals must include an itemized cost breakdown with separate line items for main entrance, exterior doors, and interior vestibule doors, along with preliminary construction timelines.

The Request for Proposal does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises.
