RFP-LSD-260000002313-2 | SO-1859 Gardner School Pavilion

The Lansing School District is soliciting bids for the construction of the Gardner School Pavilion under solicitation number RFP-LSD-260000002313-2, with responses due by July 16, 2026. The project falls under NAICS code 236220 for school construction and is managed by the district’s Purchasing Office in Lansing, Michigan. All work must comply with the Contract Documents, including specifications, drawings, and applicable building codes, with performance required on-site at the Gardner School location. The contractor is responsible for furnishing and installing all materials at the project site, coordinating inspections, obtaining permits, and adhering strictly to manufacturer guidelines and quality assurance standards. Deliverables include test reports, shop drawings, product submittals, and substitution requests, all of which must demonstrate compliance with referenced standards and include certification of conformity. Inspection and acceptance may occur at the place of manufacture or at the project site, conducted by the School District, with third-party testing agencies permitted but not authorized to approve work. The contractor must facilitate all inspections and ensure work meets minimum quality levels defined in the contract, with deviations explicitly documented. Proposals must be submitted as a single sealed hard-copy package mailed to the district’s Purchasing Office, with no electronic submissions accepted. Each proposal must include completed official district forms, a signed non-collusive affidavit, and all required certifications, with signatures in longhand ink by an authorized representative. No page or word limits are specified, but completeness and adherence to form requirements are mandatory. The contract is implied to be Firm Fixed Price, and while no specific dollar amount is listed, the work must be performed within deadlines that are deemed essential, with a detailed schedule required before work begins and revised at each progress meeting. No FOB terms, payment office details, accounting codes, or COR/COTR appointments are provided, and while the district encourages small business participation, no formal socioeconomic certifications or UEI/CAGE codes are required in the submission. Substitutions are permitted under defined administrative procedures, but special contract requirements such as key personnel, security clearances, or contract options are not included. The award basis is likely trade-off, considering both technical merit and price, though the evaluation factors are not explicitly defined. The procurement process is state-level, with no federal FAR clauses or MIL-STDs referenced, and all requirements derive from the district’s own specification documents and administrative protocols.
