Lakeshore Elementary Improvements

West Ottawa Public Schools is seeking bids for comprehensive improvements at Lakeshore Elementary School, located in Holland, Michigan, within Ottawa County. The project encompasses extensive renovations across 14 bid categories, including sitework, concrete, masonry, metals, general trades, roofing, glazing, flooring, painting, fire protection, mechanical, and electrical work. Specific deliverables include roofing upgrades, mechanical and electrical system improvements, door hardware replacements, and installation of electric water coolers. Contractors must have a minimum of 10 years of experience under their current company name, be licensed and insured in Michigan, and demonstrate financial capability to complete the work. A pre-bid meeting is scheduled for February 13, 2025, at 4:00 PM at the school site, with bids due on February 20, 2025, at 10:00 AM. The project includes two alternates: P-1 for electric water cooler installation and an additional alternate for Pine Creek Elementary improvements. Bidders are required to submit a 5% bid bond, along with sworn and notarized familial and Iran disclosure forms.

The procurement does not appear to have specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. Construction is scheduled to begin on June 6, 2025, with substantial completion targeted for August 6, 2025, indicating a two-month project timeline. Contractors must maintain specific insurance coverage, including $1 million per occurrence in general liability and workers' compensation. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the improvements suggests a significant capital investment. The project will be managed by Fritz Wahlfield Construction as the Construction Manager, with GMB serving as the Architect/Engineer. No incumbent vendors are mentioned, and the improvements appear to be a comprehensive upgrade of the existing elementary school infrastructure. The project is not classified as a prevailing wage contract, which may impact potential bidders' cost considerations.
