Proposals must be submitted in duplicate on forms provided by the architect and sealed in opaque envelopes marked with the bidder's name and project name by 12:00 PM EST on Tuesday, May 12, 2026, addressed to Victoria Amore at the Walled Lake Educational Service Center, 850 Ladd Road, Building D, Walled Lake, Michigan 48390, or submitted electronically through PreconSuite. A mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for 11:00 AM on Thursday, April 30, 2026, at the South Parking lot of Geisler Educational Service Center (46720 West Pontiac Trail, Commerce Township, Michigan 48390), followed by a site visit to Western High School. Bids will be publicly opened and read on May 12, 2026, at 2:00 PM EST at the Educational Services Center, with a Microsoft Teams option available for remote viewing. All proposals must remain firm for sixty days, and the district reserves the right to reject any or all bids and award the contract to other than the low bidder at its sole discretion.

Bid bonds or cashier's checks equal to at least 5% of the proposal amount are required for bids exceeding $31,321, with cashier's checks requiring delivery prior to bid opening for electronic submissions. Successful bidders with proposals of $50,000 or more must furnish a Performance and Payment Bond by a Treasury-listed surety in the amount of 100% of the bid, with the bond cost included in the proposal. All bids must be accompanied by sworn and notarized statements disclosing any familial relationships with board members or the superintendent, as well as compliance affidavits for the Iran Economic Sanctions Act, criminal background checks, and prevailing wage registration, indicating that contractors must comply with prevailing wage requirements. The advertisement does not specify set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, minority-owned businesses, or women-owned businesses, suggesting the opportunity is open to all qualified contractors meeting the specified requirements. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the procurement documents. The contract value threshold of $50,000 for Performance and Payment Bond requirements suggests an anticipated project budget in this range or higher, though the exact award value or budget cap is not explicitly stated in the available documentation.
