UCS Bid Ad. - Eisenhower Mechanical & Kitchen Upgrades - R

Utica Community Schools is procuring construction services for mechanical and kitchen upgrades at Eisenhower High School through a competitive sealed bid process administered by Barton Malow Builders as Construction Manager, with architectural services provided by Integrated Design Solutions, LLC. Bid proposals are solicited across three trade categories: General Trades, Mechanical, and Electrical, with deliverables based on project drawings dated August 28, 2020 and October 30, 2020, and specifications dated September 4, 2020 and October 30, 2020. A mandatory pre-bid conference and site visit is scheduled for November 12, 2020 at 2:30 p.m. at Eisenhower High School's Front Office, with attendance required for all bidders seeking award consideration. Sealed bid proposals must be submitted by 10:00 a.m. local standard time on December 14, 2020, either electronically via Building Connected or by sealed delivery to Utica Community Schools, with a livestream bid opening available via Microsoft Teams and a physical opening held at the Gibbings Administrative Service Center. Bidders must submit bid security equal to 5% of the base bid from a qualified surety authorized in Michigan, and bidders with an Experience Modification Rate (EMR) greater than 1.0 are ineligible for award consideration. The successful bidder(s) must maintain prequalification status with Barton Malow Builders, furnish Performance and Payment Bonds and Certificates of Insurance, and enter into an AIA Document A132 Standard Form of Agreement with Utica Community Schools, with proposals remaining non-withdrawable for 60 days following the bid deadline.

The bid advertisement does not identify any specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises or restrictions limiting participation to particular organization types. Bidders are required to include state sales and use taxes in their proposals and are prohibited from publishing or disclosing work for the District without advance written permission from the Superintendent. No specific incumbent vendors, current contractors, or existing infrastructure integration requirements are identified in the available procurement documents. The Owner reserves the right to accept or reject any or all offers submitted. No explicit budget range or award value is stated in the bid advertisement; however, the requirement for 5% bid security and three distinct trade categories suggests a project of substantial scope and cost.
