Media Center Water Repair

Rochester Community Schools is seeking bids for a water repair project at the Rochester High School Media Center, with French Associates serving as the architect and Frank Rewold and Son Inc. as the construction manager. The procurement is a public bid opportunity open to qualified contractors for addressing water-related infrastructure issues within the school's media center. Bidders are required to submit sealed bids by 2:00 p.m. on December 18, 2018, at the Rochester Community Schools Administration Center, with a public bid opening scheduled for 2:15 p.m. the same day. A non-mandatory pre-bid walk-through is planned for December 11, 2018, at 11:00 a.m. at Rochester High School to allow potential bidders to inspect the site. Bid submission requirements include a 5% bid security, with bid bonds mandatory for all bids and certified/cashier checks acceptable for bids under $50,000. Additional mandatory submission documents include sworn and notarized disclosure statements regarding familial relationships with school board members or superintendent, and an Iran Economic Sanctions Affidavit.

The procurement does not specify specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Performance and Payment Bonds are required for any bid category exceeding $50,000, and the project is not tax exempt for state sales tax and/or use tax. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are explicitly mentioned in the documentation. The bid documents can be obtained through the Frank Rewold and Son Portal, indicating that the construction management firm will facilitate the procurement process. While no specific budget range is provided, the requirement for performance bonds suggests the project has substantial financial scope. Prevailing wage rates are not required as this is a nonqualified bond project, which may impact overall project cost considerations for potential bidders.
