Garber High School Natatorium

The Essexville‑Hampton Public Schools district is seeking a qualified, licensed pool mechanical/plumbing contractor to repair or replace the main drain system and upgrade the chemical controller at Garber High School’s natatorium. Two options are required: a Base Bid that replaces the existing 6″ modulation valve and installs a new CAT 4000 chemical controller with flow monitoring, and an Alternate that abandons the corroded main drain and reroutes it with new wall‑mounted drains, requiring an EGLE variance, pool drainage, wall coring, and new PVC piping. The contractor must handle all labor, materials, testing, startup, and provide warranties, manuals, and staff training. Compliance with Michigan public swimming pool regulations, EGIL, and local codes is mandatory, and the contractor must submit a hard‑copy sealed bid by 1:00 PM on October 22, 2026. A site walkthrough is scheduled for October 14, 2026 (strongly recommended). • Scope includes valve replacement, chemical controller upgrade, or full drain reroute. • Must obtain permits and EGLE variance (if alternate chosen). • Provide risk mitigation plan for corroded pipe condition. • Submit detailed qualifications, references, schedule, and separate pricing for each option. • Insurance and bonding requirements specified (CGL $1M/$2M, auto $1M, umbrella $2M, performance bond 100%).
