The Lansing School District is seeking bids for the Hill Center CTE Renovations Phase 2 project, located at 5815 Wise Road in Lansing, Michigan. The procurement involves comprehensive renovation work spanning multiple areas including the front entrance, corridors, kitchen, welcome suite, and classroom spaces. Specific deliverables include demolition, masonry, steel work, casework, roofing, door and hardware installations, carpentry, flooring, painting, kitchen equipment upgrades, plumbing, HVAC, and electrical system improvements. Bidders must submit three hard copies of their proposal with a 5% bid bond and be prepared to provide 100% performance and payment bonds if awarded. The pre-bid meeting was held on February 19, 2025, at 3:30 PM, and final bids are due on March 5, 2025, at 2:00 PM local time. Post-bid interviews will be conducted on March 6-7, 2025, with the apparent low two bidders from each work category. The project has a completion deadline of August 22, 2025, to ensure school occupancy and operational readiness.

The procurement does not explicitly list specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The project includes three alternate bid options for additional classroom renovations that must be priced separately, with allowances ranging from $5,000 to $40,000 across various work categories. While Davis Bacon wages are mentioned, certified payrolls are not a strict requirement for this project. The solicitation indicates that Procore project management software will be used for submittals, RFIs, and document access. Contractors will be required to maintain strict safety standards, including wearing hard hats, work boots, and high-visibility clothing. Laux Construction will serve as the project manager and will issue work orders to trade contractors. Though a specific budget range is not disclosed, the comprehensive nature of the renovations suggests a significant capital investment in upgrading the Hill Center's Career and Technical Education facilities.
