RFP 20-0007 Hazel Park High School Toilet Room Upgrades

Hazel Park Schools issued RFP 20-0007 for general construction, structural, mechanical, and electrical work to upgrade toilet rooms at Hazel Park High School in Berrien County, Michigan. Sealed bid proposals were due June 25, 2020, at 10:30 a.m., addressed to Jason Zirnis, Assistant Superintendent of Business and Operations, at the Board of Education office located at 1620 E. Elza, Hazel Park, Michigan 48030. Bid documents became available for examination June 11, 2020, through TMP Architecture, Inc. (1191 West Square Lake Road, Bloomfield Hills, Michigan 48302) or the Construction Association of Michigan. Pre-bid facility walkthroughs were available by contacting Jason Zirnis at (810) 434-2081 or Greg Richardson at (248) 867-0394. The procurement offered two separate bidding options with different project timelines: Bid Form A required work commencement on July 13, 2020, with substantial completion by October 5, 2020 (or November 13, 2020, if extended to second shift), while Bid Form B established a start date of June 21, 2021, with substantial completion by August 23, 2021. All bids were required to include identification of mechanical, plumbing, and electrical subcontractors with corresponding dollar amounts, and bidders were required to provide a sworn and notarized Familial Disclosure Statement and Iran Economic Sanctions Act Compliance Form, with failure to include either document resulting in bid rejection.

Each bid submission required a security deposit of five percent of the base bid amount in the form of either a bid bond or certified check, payable to Hazel Park Schools, with bids remaining open for 60 calendar days following the bid closing date. All applicable federal, state, and local taxes, permits, and fees were required to be included in the base bid. Upon contract award, the successful bidder was required to execute the contract within 10 calendar days and furnish Performance and Labor and Material Payment Bonds each in the amount of 100 percent of the contract value, along with Certificates of Insurance. Change orders were subject to a combined overhead and profit fee schedule of 15 percent for contractor-performed work and 7.5 percent for subcontracted work. The solicitation documents do not specify set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, nor do they identify any incumbent vendors or current contractors. No specific award value or budget range was disclosed in the available procurement documents, though the five percent bid security requirement and bond structure indicate a substantial construction project.
