Lakeview High School Tennis Court Repairs

The state and local contract opportunity is a procurement by Lakeview School District in Calhoun County, Michigan, seeking a contractor to perform comprehensive tennis court repairs at Lakeview High School. The project involves repairing eight tennis courts using the RiteWay Crack Repair System, which includes detailed steps such as cleaning and filling cracks, applying MicroSealant tape, binding formula, stress mat layers, and acrylic resurfacer coats. Contractors must submit sealed proposals to Laura McFadden, Assistant Superintendent of Finance, by 2:00 p.m. on February 25, 2025, at 15 Arbor Street, Battle Creek, MI 49015. The repair work is temperature-sensitive, requiring execution between 60F and 100F, and can commence upon mutual agreement between the Director of Maintenance and the selected contractor. Bidders must provide pricing broken down into labor and materials costs, with an alternate option for complete court recoating and stripping. Bid security requirements vary: a 5% certified check is required for proposals under $50,000, while bid bonds are mandatory for proposals exceeding $50,000.

Regarding potential restrictions, the procurement documents do not explicitly mention set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises or specific vendor qualifications beyond the technical requirements for the repair work. Site visits can be arranged through Frank Schumacher, Director of Operations, which suggests contractors may need to demonstrate familiarity with the specific site conditions. While a precise budget range is not specified, the requirement for bid security and detailed pricing structures indicates a professional-scale maintenance project. Payment terms stipulate that funds will be withheld until the owner is fully satisfied with the repairs, which implies a performance-based compensation approach. The project appears to be a standard local government procurement targeting facility maintenance, with no indication of incumbent vendors or complex technological integration requirements. The scope suggests this is a straightforward infrastructure maintenance contract focused on preserving and improving the high school's tennis court facilities.
