DeWitt Public Schools is soliciting bids for the Herbison Woods Bleachers Replacement project (Project No. 216011), located at 3147 W Herbison Rd. The procurement is a multiple prime contract opportunity for replacing gymnasium bleachers, which includes installing new power-operated telescoping bleacher systems with a minimum seating capacity of 191, a gymnasium divider, and associated electrical work. The project encompasses two additive alternates: providing graphic lettering on the new bleachers and demolishing existing bleachers. Sealed bids are due on September 21, 2017, at 3:00 PM at the DeWitt Administration Building, with a mandatory pre-bid conference scheduled for September 13, 2017, at 4:00 PM at DeWitt Junior High School. Bidders must submit a 5% bid security and provide a comprehensive list of subcontractors and manufacturers within 48 hours if they are among the two lowest responsive bidders. The Construction Manager, The Skillman Corporation, will oversee the project, which is anticipated to start within 190 calendar days after bid receipt and must be completed within 181 consecutive calendar days after the Notice to Proceed.

The procurement does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Bidders must comply with Michigan prevailing wage requirements and be prepared to furnish 100% performance and payment bonds if awarded the contract. The project requires contractors to submit detailed product data, shop drawings, and qualification information for key components, with stringent quality assurance measures and testing requirements. While no specific budget range is provided in the documents, the comprehensive technical specifications suggest a significant capital investment in gymnasium infrastructure modernization.

All requests for information (RFIs) must be submitted to Randy Baker via email by September 18, 2017, ensuring potential bidders have an opportunity to clarify project details before the submission deadline.
