Request for construction Trade Work and Qualified Subcontrac

Cunningham-Limp Development Company is seeking trade contractors for the Universal Academy Cafeteria Addition project located at 4833 Ogden St in Detroit, Michigan. The procurement involves multiple trade packages (labeled A-Q) covering comprehensive construction services for a cafeteria addition, including specialized trades such as masonry, structural steel, roofing, electrical, HVAC, plumbing, fire suppression, carpentry, painting, doors/hardware, glass/glazing, millwork, floor covering, and toilet accessories. Each trade package requires contractors to provide detailed scope of work, including furnishing and installing specific building components, obtaining necessary permits, and complying with referenced architectural plans from FA Studio (Rev1 Set dated 6/25/2025) and MLP Civil Set (dated 7/9/2025). The bid opportunity is specifically for Wayne County and is scheduled for submission by July 30, 2025, at 2:00 PM, with bid opening at 2:15 PM. Contractors must provide comprehensive proposals including base bids, potential alternates, unit costs, and hourly rates, with a standard one-year warranty from substantial project completion. Bidders are expected to submit one original and two copies of their proposal, demonstrating technical capability and compliance with project specifications.

The solicitation appears to be open to both union and non-union trades, with no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises mentioned in the documents. The project does not list incumbent vendors or require integration with existing infrastructure. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly detailed in the trade package documents, the project involves a 7,327 square foot, one-story classroom addition that includes seven classrooms, four offices, one mechanical room, and one storage room. Construction is anticipated to start on August 25, 2025, with building enclosure expected by December 2025 and substantial completion targeted for March 2026. The construction manager reserves the right to accept bids based on qualifications or price, and final vendor selection is contingent upon receiving approvals from local, state, and authorizing entities, as well as securing project financing. Prevailing wages are not required for this project, which provides flexibility for potential bidders in pricing and staffing their trade package proposals.
