Pavilion - Privy

This is an invitation for bid (IFB) from the Bois Blanc Pines School District and Bois Blanc Island Association to construct community facilities on Bois Blanc Island, Michigan, located in Cass County. The procurement encompasses five separate bid packages for construction of a 30' x 50' timber-framed open pavilion, two single-occupancy privies, a ten-car parking lot, and associated site work at the northeast corner of Comanche Avenue and Huron Avenue in Pointe Aux Pins, Michigan. The five bid packages include: tree, brush, and site clearing; excavation; concrete slabs and piers; timber-framed pavilion construction; and privy package installation. All bid packages must be bid in their entirety with no partial bids accepted. Bidders must submit detailed written scopes of work, equipment and fuel costs, material lead times, contact information, and all transportation, food, and lodging expenses. Successful contractors must provide proof of liability insurance and commit to the project schedule, with construction commencing in June 2025 and overall completion by November 2025, with the privy package specifically scheduled for August through October 2025. Bids are due by May 12, 2025, at 5:00 p.m., with bid opening scheduled for May 13, 2025, at 4:00 p.m. Bids exceeding $30,512 must include 5% bid security in the form of either a bid bond using AIA Document A310-2010 or a check equivalent to 5% of the bid amount. No formal bidders' conference or mandatory site visit is specified.

Bidders are required to certify non-affiliation with Iran-linked businesses under Michigan law (MCL 129.313) and submit sworn disclosure statements regarding familial conflicts of interest. The project does not include electrical or HVAC work, and bidders must provide their own generators for electrical needs, though water is available from the adjacent school facility. No specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises or minority-owned businesses are noted in the invitation. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are referenced. The estimated budget for bids exceeding the $30,512 threshold requiring bid security suggests individual package values in the range of $30,000 to potentially several hundred thousand dollars depending on package scope, though specific award values or total project budget ranges are not explicitly stated in the procurement documents.
