Water Quality Upgrades

Goodrich Area School District is issuing an invitation for bids for water quality infrastructure upgrades funded through the district's 2020 Bond Program. The primary objective of this procurement is the replacement of water coolers at all schools within the district. Bidding documents have been prepared by Integrated Design Solutions, LLC and are available for download through Pipeline Suites, with physical copies available for review at Auch Construction's offices located at 65 University Drive, Pontiac, Michigan beginning January 14, 2021. A mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, January 19, 2021 at 3:30 PM at the Goodrich Area Schools District Office Community Room, 8029 S Gale Road, Goodrich, Michigan 48438. Sealed bids must be submitted to Mr. Wayne Wright, Superintendent, at the district office no later than 12:00 noon on Thursday, January 28, 2021, with public opening and reading of bids via Zoom at 3:30 PM on January 28, 2021. All proposals are firm for sixty days, and bidders must submit proposals on forms furnished by the construction manager.

Bid bonds or cashier's checks equal to at least 5 percent of the proposal amount are required for bids exceeding $25,288.00, payable to Goodrich Area Schools. Successful bidders submitting proposals of $50,000 or more must furnish a Satisfactory Performance and Payment Bond equal to 100 percent of their bid, with bond costs to be included in the proposal. All bidders must submit a notarized Familial Disclosure Statement and an Affidavit of Compliance to the Iran Economic Sanctions Act as part of their proposals. No specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are mentioned in the procurement documentation. The Board of Education reserves the right to reject any or all bids and to waive any informalities in the bidding process. While no specific award value is provided, the threshold for bonding requirements at $25,288.00 and the requirement for performance bonds on proposals of $50,000 or more suggests the project budget may fall within this range or potentially exceed it.
