The Genesee Intermediate School District (GISD) is soliciting sealed bids for the MCIC Exterior Door Replacement project, a construction-related procurement for the replacement of selected doors, frames, and hardware at the MCIC Building located at 3330 Luce Road, Flushing, Michigan.

The scope of work includes surface preparation requiring removal of rust, loose mill scale, and shop primer using methods such as SSPC-SP 7 brush-off blast cleaning or SSPC-SP 11 power tool cleaning to bare metal, followed by application of specified paint systems consisting of a Sherwin-Williams Industrial & Marine Pro-Cryl Universal Acrylic Primer as the prime coat and Sherwin-Williams Industrial & Marine Sher-Cryl HPA Semi-Gloss (B66W351) for intermediate and topcoat applications. Bidders must submit product data, paint samples showing each coat layer with specified dimensions, and a product list cross-referenced to the MPI Approved Products List, along with one gallon of each paint color and material as maintenance materials. Paint application is restricted to environmental conditions where ambient and surface temperatures are between 50 and 95 degrees Fahrenheit and relative humidity does not exceed 85 percent, with contractors responsible for dry film thickness testing and compliance verification.
