Summerfield Playground Phase 2 Project

Genesee Intermediate School District is requesting sealed bids for the Summerfield Community School site renovation project, including playground equipment installation and related site improvements, with bids due August 4, 2026 at 2:30 p.m. and public bid opening the same day.

The scope encompasses playground equipment removal and replacement, shade canopy installation (16x16x8 and 12x12x8 structures), engineered wood fiber (EWF) surfacing installation with plastic curbing, swing frame replacement, removal and reinstallation of play structures with concrete foundations, and topdressing. All equipment must be GameTime brand models and comply with ASTM F1487 and ICAN/CSA-Z-614 safety standards for critical fall heights for children ages 2–5. Work is divided across multiple zones (A through J) at Summerfield Community School, 1360 Milbourne Avenue, Flint, Michigan. The project requires field verification of all dimensions; contractors must not scale drawings.

Bids are submitted as a single lump sum to Britt Patterson, Director of Business Services, Erwin L. Davis Education Center, 2413 West Maple Avenue, Flint, Michigan 48507-3493. Each bid must be accompanied by a certified check, cashier's check, or surety bid bond equal to not less than five percent of the total bid price. All bids require a sworn and notarized disclosure statement identifying any familial relationships between the bidder or bidder's employees and GISD School Board members, administration, or staff; bids lacking this statement will be rejected. Prime contractors and all subcontractors must submit prevailing wage annual certifications and registrations through the Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Growth, as required by amendments effective April 2, 2025.

A non-mandatory but highly encouraged pre-bid meeting was held July 23, 2026 at 3:30 p.m. at the school site. Additional site visits are available upon request by contacting Director of Operations Jeff Jansen at (810) 275-3541 or jjansen@geneseeisd.org. Bidding documents have been available since July 20, 2026 from ARC, Wakely Associates Inc. (the architect), and reference copies at GISD offices, CAM, McGraw Hill, and Reed Construction Data. Addendum No. Two, issued August 3, 2026, clarifies that the completion date for concrete, landscaping, and playground equipment will be determined through discussions with the lowest responsible bidders rather than the August 24, 2026 date listed on the original proposal form.
