Renovation of a mixed-use development in Battle Creek, Michigan. Completed plans call for the renovation of a educational facility.

Summary of the Project Lakeview School District would like to perform some major cosmetic and functional upgrades to the interior classroom walls of Lakeview High School, Riverside Elementary, and Westlake Elementary - approximately 92 classrooms in total. The purpose for this renovation was primarily driven to clear and prepare the front of each classroom wall for fixed-mounting 86" interactive flat panel monitors (hereby referred to as "IFP") directly to the masonry wall in the center of the front classroom wall. In addition, the district would like to modernize the paint finish on the interior classroom walls, improve the accessibility of power receptacles, and replace the older whiteboards and cork boards with sturdy, magnetic whiteboards. It is the desire of Lakeview School District to combine these ambitions into a single coordinated project spanning across the summer months of 2024.

The Project Will Involve, but not be Limited to: Moving/Packing/Unpacking: Packing/moving supplies, equipment, and furniture out of the classroom to a location secure from dust and debris Packing/moving supplies, equipment, and furniture back into the classroom once renovation is complete Abatement/Demolition and Cleanup: Removal of existing whiteboards, corkboards, chalkboards, molding or trim, or miscellaneous brackets/fixtures Full removal of asbestos-containing construction adhesive on the walls Cleanup of dust and/or debris as a result of the demolition There will be no removal of casework in any building Painting/Smoothing/Refinishing: Removal or repair of any textures, obstacles, protrusions, or abrasions to wood trim, masonry wall, or drywall that would otherwise prevent a reasonably durable, flat, or smooth paint finish Application of long-lasting, durable paint finish with the colors determined by district administration Whiteboard Installation: Lakeview School District will provide the whiteboards, but potential bidders will need to install them A range of 2 to 5 whiteboards will be installed per classroom, with 4 installations on average Exact placement of whiteboards will be determined per classroom by Lakeview School District Electrical: Rerouting of low-voltage HVAC or speaker cabling, raceway and/or conduit Removal and/or rerouting of line-voltage cabling, raceway and/or conduit New installation and/or rerouting of line voltage circuits, concealed with conduit and/or raceway There will not be any installation or removal of Category 6 cabling required for this project Bid Security in the form of a certified check in the amount of 5% of the bid payable to Lakeview School District is acceptable bid security only for proposals less than $50,000.

It is possible that electrical work can begin prior to summer, perhaps during spring break, such as new conduit/raceway installation that does not impede the functionality of the classroom. There may be some light packing that can be done during the week of May 28th, but abatement and demolition cannot begin until school is released for the summer and the respective classrooms have been secured from dust and debris. Once a classroom is packed and/or protected from debris, abatement and demolition can take place. There will need to be coordination between the remaining trades, facilitated by Lakeview School District, to complete this project in a timely manner.
