MS Greenhouse Sitework

Marshall Public Schools in Calhoun County, Michigan, is soliciting bids for the MS Greenhouse Sitework project, a comprehensive construction initiative to add a greenhouse to the middle school campus. The procurement is a competitive bid process scheduled for August 19, 2025, with bid opening via virtual MS Teams meeting. The project encompasses multiple technical scopes including earthwork, underground utilities, concrete flatwork, and plumbing, with the greenhouse structure and concrete materials to be supplied by the owner. The project timeline is set from September 8, 2025, to November 3, 2025, with post-bid interviews planned for August 21-25, 2025, and contract award anticipated on September 23, 2025. Bidders are required to submit a 5% bid bond or certified check, complete a familial relationship disclosure, and provide an Iran Economic Sanctions Act compliance statement. Bid packages include Safety and General Scope Requirements, Concrete, Plumbing, Electrical, and Earthwork components, with trade contractors expected to utilize Critical Path Method (CPM) scheduling and provide detailed weekly schedule updates.

The construction manager demonstrates a commitment to promoting diversity by providing opportunities for minority, woman, veteran, and disabled-owned businesses. Trade contractors must maintain specific insurance coverages, including commercial general liability, automobile liability, umbrella liability, and workers' compensation. Contractors will be responsible for developing site-specific safety plans, maintaining submittal logs, and providing an asbestos-free material certification upon project completion. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the project suggests a substantial investment in infrastructure improvement. The procurement appears open to qualified contractors who can meet the technical, safety, and administrative requirements outlined in the project manual, with an emphasis on comprehensive project management and compliance with local and state regulations.
