Mackinac Island Public Schools is soliciting proposals for the construction of a multi-family residential triplex located behind the existing school building on Mackinac Island, Michigan. To accommodate the region's compressed building season and unique logistical challenges, the project will utilize prefabricated units or panelized wall systems. The work is divided into five distinct trade scopes: site preparation and concrete (including a 9-foot foundation wall and slab), prefabricated framing, plumbing and mechanical utilities for five total units, electrical and low-voltage systems, and finish carpentry. The target project start date is December 2026, and all work must comply with the current Michigan Building Code. Qualified 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 experience in panelized construction, multi-trade staging, and seasonal island logistics. Proposals are due by November 19, 2026, and must include a cover letter, company qualifications, licensing and insurance documentation, a detailed itemized cost proposal, and a sworn, notarized familial relationship disclosure statement. Submissions must be delivered in envelopes clearly labeled with the specific scopes of work being bid. Project coordination, including site logistics and trade integration, will be managed by David Lipovsky.
