Select Exterior Metal Painting Project

Saginaw Public School District is requesting proposals for exterior metal painting services at the Saginaw Career Complex, 2102 Weiss Street, Saginaw, Michigan, with proposals due July 7, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. EST. Attendance at the mandatory pre-bid site walk-through on June 22, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. EST is required for bid consideration; only one bidder attended, and the District encourages additional bidders to schedule separate walkthroughs with Tim Furtaw II, Executive Director of Facilities, at tfurtaw@spsd.net.

The scope includes professional painting of designated exterior metal surfaces — metal panel fascia and roof privacy metal panels — with comprehensive surface preparation, rust remediation, primer application, and protective coating. Bidders must submit lump-sum pricing and include product specifications and data sheets for proposed primer and topcoat systems from manufacturers such as Sherwin-Williams or PPG.

All proposals require strict compliance with Michigan school building code requirements. Bidders must submit a 5% bid bond, a notarized familial disclosure statement certifying no family relationships between the bidding company's ownership or employees and Board of Education members or the Superintendent, and a notarized Iran Economic Sanctions Act affidavit. Upon award, the successful contractor must furnish Performance and Payment Bonds each in the amount of 100% of the contract price. Current Saginaw County prevailing wage rates for painters range from $48.48 per hour for journeyman straight time to $36.79–$45.56 per hour for apprentices depending on level, with rates effective October 30, 2025.

Sealed submissions are required at the District's facilities office, 550 Millard Street, Saginaw, Michigan 48607; electronic, email, and faxed submissions are not accepted. The District reserves the right to reject any or all proposals and award to other than the lowest bidder.
