Project Information:

SLBE 318729–COMPREHENSIVE FACILITY REHABILITATION ON MANITOU ISLANDS:

The Comprehensive Facility Rehabilitation on Manitou Islands is meant to address a maintenance backlog spread over 33 historic structures, two ferry docks, and utility infrastructure. This is a Design Bid Build Project.

Work involved in this project includes but is not limited to:

Dock Replacements This project includes demolition of the existing docks on North and South Manitou Islands and construction of new docks at historic locations. Work will require the contractor to establish on-land paths of travel for workers and equipment to the new dock locations. Access to the islands must be maintained throughout the duration of the work.

Dredging Limited dredging will be required to achieve new dock placement and facilitate removal of the existing dock at North Manitou Island.

Utility Infrastructure Repairs:

Sewer / Septic, Water and Electrical infrastructure needs repair and replacement due to failure in the existing systems, antiquated parts that are no longer supported, and requirements to meet health and safety regulations and current building codes.

New wells will be drilled on both North and South Manitou Islands. A new chlorination building will be constructed on North Manitou Island and new chlorination systems will be installed on both islands.

New water service distribution systems will be installed on both islands, serving 11 buildings on North Manitou Island and 12 buildings on South Manitou Island.

Septic systems will be upgraded to 10 buildings on North Manitou Island and 9 buildings on South Manitou Island.

Electrical upgrades will include repairs and partial replacement of the existing off-grid microgrid system.
