Landscaping/Fencing

The state and local contract opportunity is a rebid solicitation issued by the Bentley Community School District (BCSD) for the Bentley Little Bulldogs Learning Center Project, specifically targeting landscaping and fencing work in Genesee County, Michigan. The procurement seeks bids for two distinct work categories: Landscaping (32.1) and Fencing (32.3), which encompass all new landscape and fencing installations for the project. Prospective bidders must participate in a mandatory pre-bid meeting scheduled for 11:00 a.m. on Thursday, July 10, 2025, at the BCSD Administration Building, with sealed bids due before 11:00 a.m. on Tuesday, July 22, 2025. Electronic bid documents will be available from Progressive Companies, the project architect, starting July 7, 2025. Bidders are required to submit an Iran Economic Sanctions Act Certification and a sworn, notarized statement disclosing familial relationships with the Superintendent and/or Board of BCSD. The project is a prevailing wage contract, and successful bidders must provide 100% labor and material bonds and 100% performance bonds, with bond amounts contingent on the bid value.

BCSD reserves the right to reject any or all bids and to award the contract in the district's best interest, which may include selecting a bidder other than the lowest bidder. While no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent types are explicitly mentioned, bidders must meet the qualifications outlined in the project manual and drawing set. The bid evaluation will be based on comprehensive criteria detailed in the bidding documents, with the district maintaining discretion in contract award. No incumbent vendors or specific integration requirements are noted in the available documentation. Although a precise budget range is not specified, the requirement for performance and labor bonds suggests a substantial project scope. Interested contractors should carefully review the complete project manual and drawing set to understand the full scope of work, technical specifications, and submission requirements for this landscaping and fencing project.
