The state and local contracting opportunity involves upgrades to the mechanical system controls and air test and balancing at the Woods Edge Learning Center, a 117,700 square foot single-story building located in Portage, Michigan. The project is being managed by the Kalamazoo Regional Educational Service Agency (KRESA) and Miller-Davis Company. The scope of work includes updating the HVAC controls, integrating the building systems into a new control system, and performing pre- and post-construction air testing and balancing. The project requires web-based controls using an open protocol Niagara AX system, as well as meeting specific mechanical, electrical, and control system requirements outlined in the bid documents. Bids are due on October 15, 2024, at 3:00 PM local time, and a pre-bid meeting is scheduled for October 2, 2024, at 3:30 PM. Bid security of 5% of the base bid is required, and contractors bidding over $50,000 must be bondable and include the cost of performance and payment bonds.

The contracting opportunity is open to all qualified bidders, with KRESA and Miller-Davis committed to providing equal opportunities for minority and women's business enterprises to participate. The bidding documents do not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The incumbent vendors or current contractors are not identified, and the project does not require integration with any existing infrastructure or technology. The bid documents do not provide specific pricing information or budget ranges, but the project is expected to be competitively bid with the owner reserving the right to withdraw the bid request, waive informalities, and accept bids that serve their best interests.
