Denison School Kitchen Renovation

This contract solicitation (ITB-21444) issued by the Cleveland Metropolitan School District (CMSD) pertains to the renovation of the kitchen facility at Denison School, a PreK–8 educational institution located at 3799 West 33rd Street, Cleveland, Ohio. The project involves converting an existing storage room into a functional student learning kitchen designed to support innovative instructional programming. The scope includes installation of plumbing, electrical, and HVAC utilities, drywall work, cabinetry, site coordination with other trades, and daily site cleanup, with painting and flooring provided by the owner. The work must comply with a broad array of Ohio building codes and standards, including the 2024 Ohio Building Code, Ohio Plumbing, Mechanical, Fire, Electrical Codes, and accessibility regulations. Given that the school is an active educational facility operating on a traditional academic calendar, all work must be carefully coordinated to minimize any disruption to students, staff, and overall school operations. Strict CMSD safety, security, and access protocols apply. The contract will be awarded on a Lowest Responsive and Responsible Bidder basis after evaluation of bid completeness, timeliness, and bidder qualifications. Bidders must demonstrate technical competence, adequate resources, and adherence to insurance requirements, including $2 million general liability and automobile coverage, workers’ compensation, and submission of ACORD certificates listing the District as additional insured with 30-day cancellation notice provisions. CMSD reserves the right to award the contract in whole or in parts and retains authority to revoke pre-award resolutions or cancel the contract absent formal issuance of a purchase order or executed contract. A diversity participation goal is set at 15% for services, 20% for goods, and 30% for construction-related work, applying only to direct subcontractor participation. Proposal submissions are exclusively electronic via the District’s e-Procurement Portal, with a deadline of May 15, 2026. The contract term will commence upon award and continue through the successful completion of the renovation. Inspection and acceptance are conducted at the Denison School site, with final administrative acceptance handled by CMSD’s contracting office. This solicitation embodies CMSD’s commitment to providing sustainable, code-compliant, and pedagogically supportive learning environments within its urban school settings.
