RFP-PPS-260000002002-1 | AMBERLY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL BID PACKAGE 4

The solicitation for Amberly Elementary School Bid Package 4, identified by RFP-PPS-260000002002-1, is issued by Portage Public Schools in Kalamazoo, Michigan, with a response deadline of May 27, 2026, at 11:00 AM. Proposals must be submitted in triplicate as physical hard copies to either Owen-Ames-Kimball Co. in Kalamazoo or in person at Portage Central High School; electronic submissions via email, fax, or digital portals are explicitly prohibited. The bid opening will be held publicly at 3:00 PM the same day in the Community Room at Portage Central High School. The work falls under NAICS code 236220 for educational construction and involves the full scope of building construction with specific technical requirements for systems and materials. Key alternates include a snow melt system for the southwest entry area and an option for grooved rather than welded hydronic piping connections, both of which require separate pricing. Performance is to occur entirely at the project site, with all materials delivered ready for installation and all inspection and acceptance activities conducted on-site. Inspection and acceptance criteria reference multiple industry standards including ASTM, ICC-ES, ACI, PCI, AAMA, and NFPA codes, covering everything from structural anchors to fire extinguisher labeling and smoke control systems. Labeling must comply with ANSI Z535.4, UL 969, TIA-606-B, and NFPA 70, requiring permanent, UV- and weather-resistant markings with mandatory bar coding for fire extinguishers per NFPA 10. No FAR clauses are incorporated, and the contract does not include traditional government procurement elements such as a defined contract type, payment office details, accounting codes, or a listed COR/COTR/PCO. Evaluation factors and award basis are not stated, and while submittals require unique identifiers and detailed documentation including shop drawings and product certifications, no formal representations regarding small business status, UEI, or CAGE codes are requested. All submittals must be organized into electronic PDFs post-award with proper structure and labeling, though only paper bids are accepted during solicitation.
