Request for Construction Trade Work and Qualified Subcontrac

Star International Academy, a public school academy located in Canton, Michigan, is soliciting sealed bid proposals for Phase I renovation work through a Request for Proposals managed by Cunningham-Limp Company. The procurement seeks qualified construction trade contractors to provide separate bids for three distinct categories: Design Build Fire Alarm systems, PA/Bell/Clock systems with removal of Gym A/V items, and Cameras/Door Access/Security systems. All proposals must include complete scopes of work encompassing associated labor, materials, delivery, equipment, supervision, assembly, applicable taxes, insurance, and fees for full installation. Bidders must submit sealed proposals in original plus two copies to Jacob Gardner, Project Manager, at 6919 North Waverly Street, Dearborn Heights, Michigan 48127, with a deadline of 2:00 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time on March 5, 2020. Bids will be publicly opened and read aloud at 2:15 p.m. on the same date and location. The contract commencement date is targeted for early March 2020 or upon receipt of site plan approval, financing, and authorizer approval, whichever occurs later. Unit prices shall be held for the contract duration, and successful bidders may be required to provide Labor, Material, and Performance Bonds for 100 percent of the contract award issued by Treasury Department-listed sureties. The Owner and Construction Manager reserve the right to accept or reject any or all bids and may award contracts based on qualifications or price rather than lowest bid alone.

All subcontractors must comply with Michigan equal opportunity laws and must provide a sworn and notarized familial disclosure statement per Michigan Compiled Law 380.1267 with their bids; failure to include this required disclosure statement will result in bid disqualification. The project is not tax exempt, and all applicable taxes and employment-related costs must be included in pricing proposals. Bidders are bound to maintain their proposals for sixty days following the bid due date. Final vendor selection and award are contingent upon receiving all necessary approvals from local, state, and authorizing entities as well as project financing confirmation. No specific budget range or award values are disclosed in the procurement notice, and no incumbent vendors or existing infrastructure integration requirements are identified in the available documentation.
