Locker replacement project

East Jackson Community Schools is seeking sealed bids for a comprehensive Locker Replacement Project as part of their 2025 Bond Improvements initiative. The procurement involves the selective demolition, interior painting, and installation of 505 new 12"x12" metal lockers across multiple school building sections in Jackson, Michigan. Contractors must submit electronic bids through BuildingConnected by September 3, 2025, at 3:30 pm, with a mandatory pre-bid meeting scheduled for August 21, 2025, at 3:00 pm in the East Jackson High School Lobby. The last day for contractor questions is August 27, 2025, at noon, with the final addendum to be issued by August 29, 2025, at noon. Pre-approved locker manufacturers include Republic Storage Systems, LLC, ASI Storage Solutions, and LockersMFG, with specific technical requirements mandating 16-gauge steel construction, vented door designs, built-in combination locks, and powder-coated finishes. Bidders must submit a familial disclosure statement and an Iran Business Relationship Affidavit, and the school district reserves the right to reject any or all proposals.

The contract does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Bidders must be capable of meeting the comprehensive technical specifications, which include precise installation requirements such as level and plumb mounting and specific anchoring intervals. The project includes a one-year warranty for welded metal lockers, with specific provisions for locks and equipment. While no specific budget range is detailed in the documents, the project appears to be part of a larger bond-funded infrastructure improvement initiative. Interested contractors must coordinate with Christie (chuver@wolgast.com) to be added to the project in BuildingConnected before submitting a bid, and can request bid documents by emailing jmckelvey@wolgast.com. Post-bid interviews are expected to begin around September 4, 2025, with Board of Education approvals anticipated for September 8, 2025.
