Berrien County Health Department (South County) Renovation

Berrien County is soliciting bids for the renovation of the South County Health Department located at 1205 N Front St, Niles, Michigan. This fixed-price, single-prime contract encompasses the provision of all labor, materials, equipment, and supervision necessary to complete mechanical systems and general renovations as detailed in the architectural and engineering drawings. The scope includes demolition, reflected ceiling plans, and MEP engineering, with specific requirements for the installation of fire alarm systems, controls, and masonry. Bidders must adhere to strict packaging and marking standards, including ASME A13.1 color-coded labeling for pipe and duct systems, and ensure all materials are stored in secure, weathertight enclosures. Interested vendors must submit two copies of their bid in a sealed envelope to the Purchasing Department at 701 Main Street, St. Joseph, MI. While the original deadline was July 2, 2025, Addendum No. 3 extended the bid submission date to July 9, 2025. A critical requirement for submission is a notarized affidavit of compliance with the Iran Economic Sanctions Act (Michigan Public Act 517 of 2012), certifying that the bidder is not an Iran-linked business. Award will be based on the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, evaluated on the sum of the base bid and accepted alternates. Performance is expected to run from the Notice of Award through substantial and final completion, with the contractor responsible for all on-site quality control and testing.
