PART I INTRODUCTION

A. 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. Main Campus rooms 2012

and 2016 are located on the 2nd floor of the main campus.

The spaces need replacement furniture as the space is receiving new flooring and paint this fall. Some

items will be reused and will need to be moved from the 3rd floor with large shelving needing to be

anchored to the drywall in the respective locations.

Project location – Muskegon Community College 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.”
