Quincy High School and Jennings Elementary renovations

The state and local contract opportunity involves renovation projects for Quincy Community Schools in Benzie County, Michigan, specifically targeting Quincy High School and Jennings Elementary School. The project is funded through a Michigan State Police Competitive School Safety Grant (Grant Number 1-12-027) and focuses on security infrastructure improvements, including a 750 square foot office buildout, installation of impact-resistant window film, and secure pass-thru windows. A mandatory pre-bid meeting was scheduled for June 6, 2019, at the high school, with sealed proposal submissions due on June 12, 2019, at 2:00 p.m. The project timeline includes a contract award date of June 17, 2019, with substantial completion targeted for August 30, 2019. Bidders are required to submit a 5% bid security and will need to provide Labor & Material Bonds and Performance Bonds upon selection. The procurement process allows the owner to reject any or all bids and award the contract in a manner deemed most beneficial to the school district.

The contract does not specifically outline set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, but bidders must submit sworn statements disclosing familial relationships with school board members and comply with the Iran Economic Sanctions Act. Payment terms include monthly applications with a 10% retention held, and the owner will make payments by the 28th of each month. The contract includes a one-year guarantee on all materials, equipment, and workmanship from the date of official acceptance. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the security upgrades suggests a significant investment in school infrastructure improvements. Potential bidders should be prepared to demonstrate expertise in school renovation, security infrastructure implementation, and compliance with state and local procurement regulations. The project represents an opportunity for contractors with experience in educational facility improvements and security enhancement projects.
