Mechanical and Electrical Construction

Caro Community Schools is seeking bids for a 2024 Bond Projects Mechanical and Electrical Construction opportunity, specifically Bid Package #1A, which encompasses two primary bid categories: 101A-Electrical and 102A-Mechanical. The procurement is targeting construction work to be completed between December 19, 2025, and January 5, 2026, with proposals due by August 14, 2025, at 2:00 pm local time through Procore project management software. A mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for August 5, 2025, at 11:00 am at the Elementary school located at 325 E. Frank St. in Caro, MI, where Spence Brothers (the Construction Manager) will provide a site tour and address bidder questions. Bidders are required to submit a 5% bid security with their proposal and will need to provide performance and payment bonds for 100% of their bid amount. All proposals must remain valid for 60 days after the bid date, and prevailing wage requirements will be in effect. Spence Brothers will manage the project and reserves the right to accept or reject any bids, with contract awards to be made in the best interest of Caro Community Schools.

The solicitation does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Bidders are required to retrieve all bid documents and addenda through a provided email hyperlink, with all questions to be submitted in writing to the Construction Manager by August 7, 2025. While specific budget ranges are not detailed in the provided documentation, the project involves comprehensive mechanical and electrical construction work for Caro Community Schools' 2024 Bond Projects. The procurement appears to be open to qualified contractors with demonstrated capability in electrical and mechanical construction services. Potential respondents should have the technical expertise, financial stability, and operational capacity to complete the specified construction work within the prescribed timeline and quality standards. The project's location in Van Buren County, Michigan, suggests a regional focus, though the bid appears to be primarily centered on Caro Community Schools' specific infrastructure improvements.
