Request for Track Renovations

Standish-Sterling Community Schools is soliciting bids for a comprehensive Track Renovations 2018 project located in Michigan, with R.C. Hendrick & Son, Inc. serving as the Construction Manager. The procurement opportunity involves two distinct bid categories: Excavation/Site Work/Asphalt and Synthetic Track, which will require complete demolition of the existing running track surface and sub-surface, correction of drainage issues, and installation of a new running track. Sealed bids must be submitted in duplicate to the Superintendent's Office by 3:30 p.m. on Thursday, April 19, 2018, with a non-mandatory pre-bid conference scheduled for Tuesday, April 10, 2018, at 3:30 PM in the football field parking lot entrance. Bidders submitting proposals exceeding $50,000 must include a certified check or bid bond for 5% of the base bid from an approved surety company. Specifications and project documents are available for download from R.C. Hendrick's Plan Room website or can be purchased at $2.00 per drawing sheet and $0.05 per specification page. Bids will remain valid for 60 days after submission, and the Owner reserves the right to reject any or all bids.

The procurement does not appear to have specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, and no incumbent vendors are explicitly mentioned. Bidders must comply with Michigan law by submitting a familial disclosure statement in accordance with MCL 380.1267, and the project is not classified as a prevailing wage project. While specific budget ranges are not detailed in the provided documentation, the comprehensive nature of the track renovation suggests a substantial infrastructure investment. The project requires technical competence in site work, asphalt preparation, and synthetic track installation, indicating that respondents should have demonstrated experience in similar large-scale athletic facility renovation projects. Potential bidders will need to demonstrate capability in managing complex site preparation, drainage correction, and precision track surface installation to be considered for the contract.
