MAISD Wesley HVAC Phase 2

The Muskegon Area Intermediate School District (MAISD) is procuring a single Primary Contractor to complete mechanical upgrades—Phase 2 at two facilities: Wesley School (915 Wesley Avenue, Muskegon, MI 49442) and Lakeshore Learning Center (1001 Wesley Avenue, Muskegon, MI 49442). The project scope encompasses mechanical, plumbing, electrical, and finish work, with the selected contractor responsible for all trades and coordination across both locations. A mandatory pre-bid walk-through is scheduled for August 24, 2020 at 10:00 AM at the facilities to allow prospective bidders to assess project conditions and requirements. Sealed proposals must be submitted by 1:45 PM on Thursday, September 10, 2020, addressed to Mr. Michael Schluentz at the MAISD Administrative Offices (684 Harvey Street, Suite 202, Muskegon, MI 49442), with public bid opening occurring at 2:00 PM the same day at the MAISD Career Tech Center (200 Harvey Street, Muskegon, MI 49442). Contract award is anticipated for October 1, 2020, with construction start targeted for August 31, 2021, and substantial completion by August 2021. All bids must remain firm for sixty days from the bid opening date, and bidders must submit bid security equal to five percent of the Base Bid in the form of a bid bond or certified/cashier's check, along with Performance and Labor and Material Payment Bonds covering 100 percent of project value.

No specific set-asides or restrictions limiting procurement to particular types of organizations are identified in the solicitation; however, all bidders are required to submit a sworn, notarized familial relationship disclosure statement and an Affidavit of Compliance with the Iran Economic Sanctions Act (Michigan Public Act No. 517 of 2012). The project is funded with local resources and does not require prevailing wages, with applicable Michigan use and sales tax applying to the contract. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are referenced in the available documentation. The project may be phased by building due to funding and fiscal year considerations, and the Owner is willing to purchase and store major equipment in an insured facility upfront; separate state permits will be required for each building. Complete project documents are available from Ajax Imaging (777 East Sherman Boulevard, Muskegon, MI 49444), and digital files may be obtained from the Architect's office. The solicitation does not explicitly state a budget range or award value, though the five percent bid security requirement suggests a substantial project cost.
