MAISD South Office Renovations

The Muskegon Area Intermediate School District (MAISD) is seeking qualified general contractors to complete comprehensive renovations of its South Office facility located at 684 Harvey Street in Muskegon, Michigan. The procurement involves a single contract for a full interior renovation of approximately 20,000 square feet of office space, which will include demolition and reconstruction of mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and architectural elements. Key project objectives include reconfiguring office spaces, updating restrooms, creating new meeting and work areas, and modernizing building systems such as HVAC, electrical infrastructure, and lighting. The project timeline is precise, with a pre-bid meeting scheduled for March 13, 2025, bid submissions due on March 27, 2025, anticipated contract award on April 21, 2025, construction start on April 28, 2025, and substantial completion targeted for October 24, 2025. Bidders must provide a 5% bid security, performance and labor/material payment bonds covering 100% of the project value, a sworn statement disclosing familial relationships, and an Affidavit of Compliance with the Iran Economic Sanctions Act.

The procurement appears to have no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on organizational types, making it open to general contractors who can meet the specified qualifications. Bid documents are available from Ajax Imaging in Muskegon, with digital files accessible from the architect, Goodspeed Engineering, LLC. The project will be funded through local resources and does not require prevailing wage rates. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the renovation across 20,000 square feet suggests a substantial investment in modernizing the MAISD South Office infrastructure. The owner reserves the right to accept or reject any bids and waive irregularities, with proposals remaining valid for 30 days from the bid opening date. All applicable Michigan use and sales taxes will apply to the project, and contractors will need to demonstrate capability to coordinate multiple trades and execute a complex, phased renovation approach.
