The Walled Lake Consolidated School District is seeking prime contractors for the Northern High School 2025 Athletic Renovations project, specifically for turf installation on baseball and softball fields. This procurement is being conducted through a Request for Proposal (RFP 25-0324) that covers jurisdictions in Berrien County and Westland City, Michigan. A mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for 3:00 PM on Thursday, March 13, 2025, at the Northern High School ball fields, with sealed proposals due by 2:00 PM (EST) on Monday, March 24, 2025. Bidders can submit duplicate proposals either physically to the district's address or electronically through PreconSuite. The project requires bidders to submit a bid bond or cashier's check for at least 5% of their proposal amount, with successful bidders proposing over $50,000 mandated to provide a 100% Performance and Payment Bond. Additional mandatory submission requirements include sworn and notarized statements regarding familial relationships, Iran Economic Sanctions Act Compliance, and Criminal Background Checks.

The procurement appears open to qualified contractors without specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. The Board of Education reserves the right to reject any or all bids, waive informalities, or award the contract to a bidder they determine best serves their interests, not necessarily the lowest bidder. Bid documents can be reviewed and ordered through PreconSuite, with a review set available at the George W. Auch Company office in Pontiac, MI. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly detailed in the available documentation, the requirement for performance bonds suggests a substantial project scope. The project involves athletic field renovations, specifically turf installation, which indicates a potentially significant capital investment. Bidders will need to demonstrate technical capability, financial stability, and compliance with various administrative requirements to be considered for this contract.
