The procurement is structured as an Invitation for Bids (IFB) and encompasses comprehensive kitchen infrastructure improvements, specifically replacing existing walk-in freezer and cooler facilities. Project deliverables include sawcutting and removing/reinstalling concrete floor slab, quarry tile, and rigid insulation, removing and modifying masonry for a new cooler door, and making associated mechanical and electrical alterations. The scope also involves installing new rooftop condensing units, including structural steel work, roofing modifications, and painting of steel supports. Bidders are required to submit a single lump sum proposal with a proposal guaranty of 5% of the total bid price, which can be presented as a certified check, cashier's check, or surety bid bond. The bid submission deadline is 2:00 p.m. EST on Thursday, March 14, 2019, with a non-mandatory pre-bid meeting scheduled for Tuesday, March 5, 2019, at 1:30 p.m. at Warren Woods Tower High School. Bidding documents can be purchased from ARC/Dunn Blue starting February 28, 2019, and will be electronically accessible.

The procurement does not explicitly indicate specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Bidders must include a sworn statement disclosing any familial relationships with school board members or the superintendent, which represents a unique qualification requirement. The project documents will be on file at multiple locations, including the owner's office, CAM in Bloomfield Hills, McGraw Hill in Detroit, Reed Construction Data in Novi, and with the architect. The owner reserves the right to accept or reject any proposals and waive any informalities, with bidders unable to withdraw their proposals for 60 days after the submission deadline.
