SO-1756 Beekman Center Condensing Unit Upgrade

Grand Traverse County, Michigan is procuring a condensing unit upgrade for the Beekman Elementary School located at 2901 Wabash Road in Lansing through solicitation SO-1756. The project involves the replacement of an existing condensing unit and includes several specific modifications outlined in two addenda issued by Bergmann PC. Key deliverables include the repair or replacement of outside air and return dampers (both 20" x 84"), installation of roof deck rails measuring 14 inches tall and 4.5 inches wide, and the use of Pate Pipe Portals as pitch pockets on the project. The contractor must ensure proper functioning of the existing air handler and include all incidental items necessary to complete the specified modifications in their proposal. The bid was posted on February 23, 2021, with a due date of February 25, 2021, providing a compressed timeline for proposal submission. All original drawing requirements remain in force except as specifically amended by the two addenda distributed to project stakeholders.

The procurement documents indicate that this is not a prevailing wage project, with contractors instructed to omit all references to prevailing wage requirements from Article 25 of the General Conditions. Addendum 2, dated February 22, 2021, specifically clarified this exemption from prevailing wage obligations. The bid documents were made available through the Lansing School District's Finance and Purchasing Department website under the "2019 Sinking Fund Projects-Current Requests for Bids/Proposals" section, though the posted documents do not specify set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise requirements, incumbent vendor information, or explicit budget ranges for the project. Warranty considerations for the Pate Pipe Portals are addressed in the contract documents, with the roofing warranty company responsible for pourable sealer application and required to approve the portal installation to maintain warranty coverage. No pricing information, funding sources, or contract award dates are specified in the available contract documents.
