Parking Lot Repavement

Rudyard Area Schools in Chippewa County, Michigan, is seeking bids for a comprehensive parking lot repaving project located on Second Street. The procurement involves complete removal of existing blacktop and sidewalks, followed by excavation of a 35' x 804' area and reconstruction with specific pavement specifications. Contractors must install a 6 oz separator fabric, 10" of 21AA Limestone base, and 3" of hot mix asphalt surface, creating a total of six ADA-compliant parking stalls including two van unloading areas with appropriate signage. Bid submissions are due by 12:00 noon on June 30, 2025, and must be delivered to the Superintendent's office in a sealed envelope clearly marked "Second Street Repave". Bidders are required to complete the District Proposal Form, submit proposed specifications, and disclose any variations or exceptions to bid conditions. Additional mandatory documentation includes a sworn statement regarding relationships with school board members and an Affidavit of Compliance with the Iran Economic Sanctions Act.

The procurement appears open to qualified contractors without specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. The district reserves the right to reject any or all bids and will select a vendor based on the most advantageous proposal. All pricing must be "out the door" and F.O.B. to Rudyard Area Schools, with the district maintaining flexibility in award selection. Notably, false certifications can result in significant penalties, including up to $250,000 in civil penalties and potential three-year bidding ineligibility. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the project suggests a substantial infrastructure investment. The project represents a critical infrastructure improvement for the school district, focusing on creating safe, accessible parking facilities that meet ADA requirements and improve overall site functionality.
