PURPOSE Muskegon Community College is seeking and accepting proposals from qualified Contractors for the delivery and installation pursuant to the specification attached to this RFP. The existing below grade heating and chilled water piping, that supplies each for the Stevenson Center, requires replacement. Currently there is a temporary heating supply and return that connects the heating system to the facility. Project location - Muskegon Community College (MCC) Main Campus, 221 South Quarterline Road, Muskegon, Michigan, 49442. B. BACKGROUND MCC was founded as Muskegon Junior College 1926 and has been continually accredited by the Higher Learning Commission of North Central Association since 1929. MCC moved to its current campus location, an Alden B. Dow designed facility that opened to the public in 1967. In 1995, the Stevenson Center for Higher Education opened, comprising a consortium of Ferris State University, Grand Valley State University, and Western Michigan University, designed to increase access to educational opportunities for Muskegon residents. In 2010 the Outdoor Learning Lab, a focal point of green technology and center for MCC's new Alternative and Renewable Energy certificate program opened. MCC is currently located on a 111-acre campus in Muskegon, with extension centers in Fremont, Grand Haven, Newaygo, and Whitehall. In 2013, MCC received approval and funding for a construction and renovation project involving four major areas that include: Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) Center, MCC Muskegon Downtown Center, Health, and Wellness Education Center, and a Creative and Performing Arts Center. According to MCC President, Dr. Dale Nesbary, "Muskegon Community College needs to compete on a national and global level. In addition to meeting crucial student needs, this expansion will also benefit employers and the community at large. It will help attract and retain talented individuals and equip them with the science skills to make them both more effective employees and informed residents, critical to improving the overall health of our communities. Moreover, MCC's growth from approximately 2,000 in the mid-1960s to approximately 5,000 credit-bearing students has led to the need for additional academic space in the STEM fields."
