Proposals can be submitted physically to Mrs. Denyeal Nesovski at 11303 Greendale Dr. Sterling Heights, MI 48312 or electronically via Building Connected. A mandatory pre-bid conference and site visit was conducted at Stevenson High School on February 19, 2019, at 1:00 PM to provide potential bidders with project details and site access. Bidders must base their proposals on the Project Manual dated February 14, 2019, bid set drawings from February 8, 2019, and specifications manual dated February 8, 2019. The public bid opening is scheduled for March 5, 2019, at 1:00 PM, with successful bidders required to provide 100% performance and payment bonds and required insurance certificates.

The procurement opportunity does not explicitly indicate specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. Bidders must submit several mandatory documentation items, including a Bid Bond, Iran Sanctions Form, and a Familial Disclosure Form, which requires a sworn and notarized statement disclosing any familial relationships between the bidder's owners/employees and school board members or superintendent. While specific budget ranges are not detailed in the documentation, the project involves comprehensive electrical upgrades across multiple school facilities. The owner reserves the right to reject any or all bids in whole or part, providing flexibility in the selection process. State sales and use taxes must be included in bid proposals, adding an additional compliance requirement for potential contractors. The procurement appears to be open to qualified electrical contractors with the capability to perform extensive electrical infrastructure improvements across educational facilities in Macomb County, Michigan.
