The project aims to transform the 2,951 square foot building into a training center for adult special education students, focusing on independent living skills. Contractors must verify existing conditions, comply with the 2021 Michigan Building Code, and minimize disruption to the owner's operations during renovation. Bid requirements include providing a 5% Bid Security, familial disclosure, and an Affidavit of Compliance for the Iran Economic Sanctions Act.

The procurement includes a Michigan-based business preference of the lesser value of 5% or $10,000, which will be considered during award determinations. Bid drawings and specifications will be available electronically starting September 5, 2025, and can be obtained by contacting Dailey Engineering, Inc.

While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the comprehensive renovation involves significant interior improvements, including bathroom accessories, ceiling tile replacements, and flooring installations using specific product lines like Ecovert Loose Laid Vinyl Plank flooring. The renovation will include installing residential-style appliances and creating spaces designed to teach practical life skills such as cooking, cleaning, and laundry. Technical specifications require precise measurements, field verification, and careful integration of new construction elements with existing building infrastructure.
