WDS Bond Proposal Phase 1- Ealy, Middle School, Shoreline

Whitehall District Schools (WDS) in Michigan is soliciting bids for Phase 1 of its voter-approved bond program, covering construction at the Ealy, Middle School, and Shoreline sites, with bids due November 11, 2026. Bidders must comply with the 2021 Michigan Building, Rehabilitation, Energy, and Plumbing Codes and with prevailing wage requirements.

Ealy scope includes boiler room demolition and roof replacement, demolition and replacement of horizontal unit ventilators with associated mechanical and electrical work, selective ceiling and finish replacement, media center finish updates, and carpet replacement in select classrooms. The roof specification calls for a 60-mil fully adhered single-ply membrane over at least 5 inches of polyisocyanurate insulation with an initial solar reflectance index of 82. The drawings specify Trane unit ventilators and condensing units, Fulton condensing boilers with a combined 2,000 MBH capacity, and Bell & Gossett pumps.

Shoreline scope is primarily site work: about 5,630 square feet of demolition, new concrete sidewalks and curbs, an expanded ADA parking area with restriping and signage, roughly 3,400 square feet of landscape beds, about 4,200 square feet of hydroseeding, and bus-lane markings and bollards. Site Alternate 1 adds seal coating and restriping of approximately 79,550 square feet of parking lot and bus drop-off lane. The Shoreline drawings were prepared by Troyer Group (Project No. 26.007). The owner reserves the right to remove or modify scope before work begins and may accept the base bid or an alternate at award.

Construction is phased around the school calendar. Ealy work starts April 2, 2027, with completion targeted for August 11, 2027. Middle School work runs in two windows, April 2 through June 4, 2027 and June 7 through August 11, 2027. Shoreline work runs June 7 through July 23, 2027. Clark Construction manages site logistics and maintains a field office at the White Lake Community Center, 541 E. Slocum Street, Whitehall, Michigan 49461.
