Contractors

Thank you for visiting our contractors page! For active and upcoming IFBs and RFPs, please see the list of projects shown below.

Criminal Background Checks NEW PROCESS – PLEASE READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS

As of 7/1/2025, Ann Arbor Public Schools will be using Global Investigative Services to process new background checks. After completing the initial online form (linked below), individuals will receive an email (within 24-48 hours) from Cerebrum on behalf of Global Investigative Services and will appear in your email box as follows:

Contractors must follow the instructions in the email to securely submit their personal information to Global Investigative Services in order to initiate their background check.

• This will include downloading the Verified Identity (VID) app on your phone to electronically submit your valid, government-issued ID as well as your picture. (App may be deleted once process is completed.)
• 

• Receiving the finish/verified screen (showing confetti) within the VID app does NOT mean a person has passed the background check. It only means the initial submission of information was successful and a background check will now be started.

The background check process can take one to two weeks from the initial request until a contractor badge is issused. Please plan accordingly, ahead of your project schedule. For contractors in need of completing their background check, please find the request form here.

If you have a question regarding contractor background checks, please email badges@a2schoolsbond.org. Please do NOT call Ann Arbor Public Schools directly.

Contractor Key Requests

For contractors wanting keys for a jobsite, please download the form here. Please discuss your need with your construction manager first and if keys are needed, submit all completed key request forms to badges@A2schoolsbond.org noting which buildings you would like access to within the email, including any special doors (example: mechanical doors). Please note, in order to receive keys for a jobsite, you must have an approved criminal background check.
