Renovation at JFK High School - Welding Lab

JFK High School in Cleveland, Ohio, is undertaking a renovation to establish its second welding lab within the district, supporting the newly introduced Metallurgy pathway with a Welding Fabrication concentration. This initiative aims to equip students with industry-relevant skills through hands-on training in essential welding processes including Gas Metal Arc Welding, Shielded Metal Arc Welding, Gas Tungsten Arc Welding, and Flux Cored Arc Welding, preparing them for high-demand careers in metalworking, manufacturing, and construction. The lab will provide technical instruction that combines precision engineering with craft-based practices to enable students to safely join, repair, and fabricate metal components using modern techniques and equipment. The project is formally solicited under ITB-21448, with a posted date of August 10, 2026, and a response deadline of September 9, 2026. Led by the Ohio Capital Projects agency, the work is classified under the SLED sector and will be performed at the school’s location in Cleveland. Primary oversight is managed by Hollie Dellisanti, Executive Director of Architectural Services, who can be contacted via email or phone, with Leigh Pratt, Purchasing Analyst, serving as the secondary point of contact. All correspondence and submissions must be directed through the official procurement portal linked in the solicitation, and the project does not specify a set-asides classification or NAICS code at this time.
