Howell Public Schools, in partnership with its construction management firm, Auch Construction, will host a meeting for local contractors to learn about the process for submitting proposals for upcoming projects funded by the Our Kids, Our Community, Our Future Bond. The meeting is set for noon to 1 p.m. Monday, Sept. 23, at the Livingston Educational Service Agency. A light lunch will be provided.
During the meeting, local contractors will be introduced to the upcoming projects, learn how requests for proposals and bid notices will be shared, review bonding and insurance requirements and discuss the qualification process, offering valuable insight into the bidding process. Attendees will also have the opportunity to ask questions about the bidding process.
“We value the strong relationships we have with our local business community and are thankful for the support they provide our district,” said Erin J. MacGregor, superintendent of the Howell Public Schools district. “This meeting is an important step in ensuring that our local businesses have the opportunity to participate in these exciting projects, which will help shape the future of our schools and community.”
Voters approved the Our Kids, Our Community, Our Future Bond in November 2023. The bond will allow for the replacement of Northwest Elementary and Southwest Elementary schools, a major renovation of Highlander Way Middle School, and a new community center. Additionally, it provides funding to enhance school safety and improve facilities and technology across Howell Public Schools.
The meeting will be held in the Collaboration Room of the Livingston Educational Service Agency, 1425 W. Grand River Ave. in Howell.
