RFP2627-02 BP#4A - Athens High School Addition

Troy School District Board of Education in Michigan is soliciting sealed bids for Bid Package 4A of the Athens High School Addition under RFP 2627-02, with bids due October 28, 2026. The attached Advertisement for Bids instead gives an October 16, 2026 deadline at 1:30 PM, so bidders should confirm the controlling date with the district. Bids are publicly opened and read aloud at 2:00 PM at 1140 Rankin Street, with virtual attendance through Microsoft Teams Live Event. No set-aside or preference program is stated.

Bid Package 4A covers all labor, materials, equipment, and services for structured cabling, audiovisual systems, and access control across three floors, including information distribution frames IDFs 6, 7, and 8. Work spans learning studios, science labs, academic support areas, offices, and specialized rooms. Structured cabling must come from manufacturers on the approved list in the specifications, though end-to-end solutions that meet manufacturer system warranties are acceptable when they comply with that list. Contractors must coordinate with Barton Malow, the construction manager, and impacted trades, supply their own penetrations and firestopping, furnish faceplates and adapters, and protect equipment subject to abuse. Owner-furnished active equipment includes wireless access points, cameras, PA devices, sound field amplifiers, switches, and UPS units. Addendum #4, issued October 2, 2026, revises drawings and answers RFIs #26 through #38 on faceplates, cable color coding, and wireless access point designations. It also carries an $80,000 Network Cabling/Security/Audio Visual allowance for out-of-scope work.

Each bid requires a 5% bid bond or certified check, plus sworn and notarized affidavits covering criminal background, familial relationships with Board of Education members or the Superintendent, and an Iran Disclosure Statement. The Board reserves the right to award to other than the low bidder and to waive irregularities.
