Request for Mechanical Services

Cheboygan Area School District is seeking mechanical services for a high school welding lab renovation project located at 801 W. Lincoln. The procurement is a public bid opportunity for mechanical renovation services, specifically targeting the remodeling of the existing welding laboratory. Sealed bids are due by 2:00 pm on Wednesday, August 1, 2018, at the Cheboygan School Board Office, with an expected project timeline from August 1, 2018, through the end of September 2018. Contractors must provide their own liability insurance with minimum coverage of $1,000,000 per occurrence for public liability and bodily injury. The project includes a $5,000 structural reinforcing allowance and requires contractors to obtain necessary permits, provide dumpsters and portable restrooms, and adhere to specific safety regulations. Bidders must submit comprehensive pricing, including all applicable taxes, construction permits, and inspection costs, with a 30-day bid acceptance window.

The procurement does not explicitly indicate specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Contractors will be responsible for executing the agreement within seven days of award notification and must furnish required performance bonds. The bid form allows for contract modifications with a 10% overhead and profit margin on the bidder's own work and a 5% margin on subcontractor work. Monthly payments will be made based on completed work and materials stored on-site, with a 5% retainage held. While no specific budget range is detailed, the project scope suggests a moderate-scale renovation project for the school district. The school district reserves the right to reject any or all bids and to waive informalities in the bidding process. Contractors must also specify their proposed mechanical subcontractor and provide details about their response time for warranty-related issues.
