RFP - Concrete Stair Replacement

The Eastern U.P. Intermediate School District is soliciting bids for a concrete stair replacement project located in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan. This Request for Proposal (RFP) requires qualified contractors to remove and replace existing concrete steps according to provided construction documents. The procurement is specifically for Chippewa County and involves comprehensive architectural renovation work. Bidders must submit a bid bond equal to at least 5% of their total bid price and will be required to provide Payment and Performance bonds upon contract award. A non-mandatory pre-bid conference and project site visit is scheduled for April 26, 2019, at 10:00 AM at the ISD location, with final bids due by 11:00 AM EDT on May 3, 2019. Construction documents are available from U.P. Engineers & Architects (UPEA) for a non-refundable $25 handling fee for hard copies or free PDF download. The Owner reserves the right to accept or reject any bids and to waive any informalities, with bid submissions remaining irrevocable for 30 days after submission.

While no specific set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise requirements are explicitly stated in the documentation, potential bidders should be licensed concrete and construction contractors with demonstrated experience in school district renovation projects. The bid documents do not indicate any incumbent vendors or specific technology integration requirements. No precise award value or budget range is specified in the provided materials, though the scope suggests a relatively modest capital improvement project focused on infrastructure enhancement. Interested contractors must carefully review the construction documents and meet the technical specifications outlined in the RFP. Bid submissions will be evaluated based on completeness, compliance with technical requirements, proposed pricing, and the contractor's demonstrated capability to successfully complete the concrete stair replacement project within the specified parameters.
