Lake Orion HS Soccer Turf Replacement

Lake Orion Community Schools (LOCS) is procuring construction services for the replacement of the high school soccer turf field as part of its 2020 Sinking Fund Projects, designated as Bid Pack 2. The project is located at Lake Orion High School, 495 E. Scripps Road, Lake Orion, Michigan, and is being managed by Frank Rewold and Son Inc. (FRS) as the Construction Manager, with GMBae serving as the Architect. Sealed bid proposals are due at 2:00 p.m. EST on Tuesday, March 24, 2020, and must be submitted to John Fitzgerald and Wes Goodman at FRS, 303 E. Third St., Suite 300, Rochester, Michigan 48307. A non-mandatory prebid walk-through is scheduled for 10:00 a.m. on Tuesday, March 17, 2020, at the soccer field location, providing bidders the opportunity to view the site and clarify project scope. Bid documents became available through the FRS Portal beginning March 10, 2020, and the public bid opening will occur on March 24, 2020, at 2:00 p.m. at the FRS office. All bid proposals must include a sworn and notarized disclosure statement addressing any familial relationships between the bidder or its employees and LOCS board members or the superintendent, as well as a signed Iran Economic Sanctions Compliance Certificate, with failure to include these documents resulting in bid rejection. Kurt Ryder at (248) 601-1226 or kryder@frankrewold.com is the sole point of contact for bid-related questions.

Bid security of 5% is required, with bid bonds preferred for all amounts; certified or cashier checks are acceptable for bids under $50,000. Performance and Payment Bonds are mandatory for bid categories exceeding $50,000 and may be required for smaller categories, with bonds equal to the contract amount and issued by surety companies authorized to do business in Michigan with a Federal Register listing or AM Best Rating of B+ or better. Prevailing wage rates are not required for this project. The project is not tax exempt for state sales tax or use tax, meaning all materials and supplies incorporated into the work are subject to state taxation. No set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, minority-owned businesses, or women-owned businesses are identified in the procurement documents. The specific contract award value or budget range is not disclosed in the available bid advertisement, though the mandatory bonding requirements for contracts exceeding $50,000 suggest the total project cost may fall within or above that threshold.
