Union City Elementary Domestic Water Restoration

Union City Community Schools is seeking bids for a domestic water restoration project at Union City Elementary School, located at 601 Walnut Lane in Union City, Michigan. The procurement is being managed by The Skillman Corporation as the Construction Manager, with two primary bid categories: Sitework (Bid Category No. 1) and Mechanical (Bid Category No. 2). Bidders must submit sealed proposals by March 13, 2018, at 2:00 PM local time to the Superintendent's Office, with a public bid opening at 2:15 PM in the Union City High School Library. A mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for February 27, 2018, at 3:30 PM at Union City Elementary School, which is recommended but not required for potential bidders. All contractors must submit bid security of 10% with their proposals, and successful bidders will be required to provide 100% Performance and Payment Bonds. Bidding documents are available electronically through the Skillman Plan Room website at no cost, with printed documents available for a fee through Kal-Blue in Kalamazoo.

The contract opportunity does not specify any specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Bidders must submit proposals directly to Union City Community Schools, who will serve as the contracting entity for successful bidders. The owner reserves the right to hold bids for up to 60 days before awarding contracts and may accept or reject any bid or combination of bids. While the exact project budget is not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the domestic water restoration suggests a significant infrastructure improvement project. The procurement process allows for competitive bidding, with all work to be performed under one or more prime contracts overseen by the Construction Manager. Bidders are expected to have the technical capabilities and experience to perform comprehensive water system restoration work in an elementary school setting, though specific qualification criteria are not detailed in the available documentation.
