MADISON SCHOOL ATHLETIC FIELD PROJECTS

The Madison School District in Adrian, Michigan is seeking qualified General Contractors for the 2025 Athletic Field Projects through a competitive bid process. The procurement encompasses two primary components: construction of a concession stand building (due August 16, 2025) and installation of baseball/softball seating and press boxes (due October 1, 2025). Contractors must provide all necessary labor, materials, and permits for these athletic field improvements. A mandatory pre-bid walk-through is scheduled for February 27, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. in the Madison School Board Room, with bid proposals due by March 7, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. to Nick Steinmetz at Madison Schools. Bidders are required to submit a 5% bid security with their proposal, which can be in the form of a bid bond, cashier's check, or money order. All bids must remain valid for 30 days after submission, and bidders must comply with familial disclosure requirements under MCL 380.1267, including a sworn and notarized statement disclosing any relationships with school board members or the superintendent. Bid documents will be available starting February 18, 2025, with technical questions directed to Todd Dailey at Dailey Engineering Inc.

The procurement does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The Madison School District reserves the right to reject any or all proposals, accept non-low bids, and waive informalities as deemed in their best interest. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly detailed in the documentation, the project involves multiple construction components suggesting a potentially significant investment. No incumbent vendors or existing contractors are mentioned in the available documentation. The project requires integration with existing school infrastructure, specifically focusing on athletic field improvements. Potential bidders should note the strict compliance requirements, including the mandatory pre-bid meeting, detailed familial disclosure statements, and the requirement for bid security. The district's flexibility in bid evaluation suggests they are prioritizing overall project quality and completeness over solely selecting the lowest-cost proposal.
