Walled Lake Western Transition Canopy

The Walled Lake Consolidated School District's Board of Education is seeking prime contractor bids for a transition canopy project at Walled Lake Western High School, located in Berrien County, Michigan. The procurement involves multiple trade components, including steel work, architectural trades, electrical work, and sitework, with specifications prepared by TMP Architecture. Bidding documents will be available for download through PipelineSuite or review at George W. Auch Company's office starting January 29, 2018. A mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for January 31, 2018, at 3:30 pm at the transitions entry near the gym at Walled Lake Western High School. Sealed bids must be submitted in duplicate by February 13, 2018, at 12:00 pm noon to the Educational Services Center, with a public bid opening at 2:00 pm the same day. Bidders are required to submit a bid bond or cashier's check for 5% of the proposal amount for bids over $23,881. The Board of Education reserves the right to reject any or all bids and award the contract in the owner's best interest.

Potential bidders must submit sworn and notarized statements regarding familial relationships and Iran Economic Sanctions Act compliance. Successful bidders with proposals of $50,000 or more will be required to provide Performance and Payment Bonds for 100% of the bid amount, with these costs to be included in the proposal. While no specific set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise requirements are mentioned in the documentation, the bid appears open to qualified prime contractors capable of completing the multi-trade school infrastructure project. The document does not specify an exact budget range or award value, though the requirement for bid bonds suggests the project is likely of substantial financial scope. No information is provided about incumbent vendors or existing infrastructure requirements beyond the new transition canopy construction.
