Mackinac Island Public Schools is soliciting proposals for the construction of a multi-family residential triplex located at 7846 Main Street, Mackinac Island, Michigan. The project is designed to utilize panelized wall systems or prefabricated units to address the region's compressed building season and unique logistical challenges. The scope of work is divided into five primary trade categories: site preparation and concrete foundation, structural framing and prefabricated assembly, plumbing and mechanical utilities for five total units, electrical and low-voltage systems, and interior and exterior finishes. All work must adhere to the Michigan Building Code, and contractors are responsible for securing all necessary state permits. Eligible bidders must be legally licensed in the State of Michigan and provide proof of liability and worker's compensation insurance. Preference will be given to contractors with demonstrated experience in panelized construction, seasonal island logistics, and multi-trade staging. Proposals must include a cover letter confirming availability for a target start date in December 2026, a summary of company experience, licensing documentation, a notarized familial relationship disclosure statement, and a detailed itemized cost proposal. Submissions are due by November 19, 2026, at 3:00 P.M. EST. David Lipovsky serves as the Project Coordinator for schedule and site logistics.
