PROJECT DESCRIPTION/SERVICES REQUESTED

Provide a PSC Proposal (Technical and Cost) for all required Professional Architectural and Engineering Services in compliance with the State of Michigan, Department of Technology Management and Budget DTMB Project Statement Form (DMB427), DTMB ISID Billable Rate Professional Services Contract and the DTMB 430 RFP Billable Rate Form (DMB 430) and DTMB Facilities Administration, Design and Construction Division policies and procedures for the development of Contract Bid Documents and Construction Administration. The technical portion shall be concise, include personnel resumes. A proposed schedule for design, bidding and construction must be included.

Project Statement:

ARPA is an unprecedented statewide infrastructure investment that provides a $250 million investment in Michigan State Park Infrastructure. Eleven projects are being targeted in this request for proposals with four projects located at Muskallonge Lake State Park and seven projects at Tahquamenon Falls State Park. The projects as described below are intended to be awarded to one professional service contactor (PSC) for planning, design, and construction services. ARPA funding requires that all project funds be obligated by December of 2024 and spent by December of 2026. The successful PSC will be responsible for providing guidance on how to coordinate and schedule design and construction in a manner that will allow the project team to meet the outlined deadlines. MDNR PRD typically prefers to minimize construction during the primary use seasons between Memorial Day and Labor Day to limit impact to visitor services and revenue. However, the agency recognizes the need to consider the possibility for campground or partial campground closures during these timeframes to allow for efficient work completion, cost effectiveness and practical applications. The agency is exploring the possibility of engaging with a construction manager as an additional team member to provide assistance during planning and design and to lead project during construction. The PSC shall prepare Phase 100 through 700 service proposals as needed based on the assumption that a construction manager will not be included. If construction manager services are added, the PSC proposal services contract shall be reduced as appropriate.

Muskallonge Lake State Park:

The DNR Parks and Recreation Division (PRD) Muskallonge Lake State Park is located 28 miles northwest of Newberry in Luce County. The 217-acre park is situated between the shores of Lake Superior and Muskallonge Lake and the area is well known for its forests, lakes and streams. Muskallonge Lake State Park was the former site of Deer Park, a lumbering town in the late 1880s, and prior to its lumbering history, an Indian encampment. Muskallonge Lake was a mill pond for millions of white pine logs that were brought to it by railroad lines. The park provides unique visitor experience and access to a “perched” inland all sports lake and the shores of Lake Superior. See attached park map.

Projects and Background Information:

Renovate stairway to Lake Superior

A very popular visitor amenity at the park is accessing the Lake Superior shoreline for campers and day users alike. Historically the primary access point was the Lake Superior stairway. Approximately 5 years ago during the advent of near record high great lakes water levels the shoreline and base of the stairway structure was completely compromised which resulted in the closure of the stairway. Not long before the high water impact, DNR PRD implemented a significant improvement at the Lake Superior overlook that included an ADA overlook and interpretive feature, gravel parking lot, vault toilet and access route along a former service drive through the previous US Coast Guard lifesaving station ruins and out to the Lake Superior shoreline. The campground pedestrian access was relocated from the former stairway to connect with the Lake Superior overlook site. The current access to Lake Superior along the former service drive at the overlook receives heavy public use, is not ADA compliant, but does provide a more desirable point of access, and a single point of access to the Lake Superior shoreline. As such, DNR PRD desires to design and implement a barrier free ADA compliant ramp system that will provide universal access for all visitors and a uniquely improved access experience. Cultural resource and archeological features will be a point of consideration during design and construction. At the toe of the hill the ramp system may transition to a crushed stone, ADA compliant pathway to the top of the foredune at Lake Superior that provides close shoreline proximity experience and possible transition to an ADA track chair for a shoreline adventure.

The scope of work shall include a minimum of two schematic designs for the new proposed access improvement. The access route design shall take into consideration preservation of unique hillside landforms, specimen trees and high-quality natural features and cultural resources and may require a Phase 1 archeological survey be performed by the PSC.

Replace West campground toilet/shower building with standard PRD plan

The west section of the campground has a toilet shower building and campsite utilities. The existing toilet shower building has exceeded the useful visitor service and operational life expectancy and has been slated for replacement. The existing building will be replaced in the existing building footprint location using the Parks and Recreation Division (PRD) standard toilet shower plan (see attached floor plans and elevations for reference) to include ADA walkways and 3- 5 vehicle parking spaces, one being ADA van accessible. A building hazardous material survey has been completed and will be provided to the successful consultant.

The desired project shall include a building which meets ADA, considers LEED, and meets EGLE Campground requirements as well as LARA code requirements.

Reconstruct and Pave campground Road System

The park and campground road system has outlived its functional life and is proposed to be reconstructed and paved with 3 inches of HMA. The campground road system was crushed and reshaped in 2017 while the primary park and boating access site ingress egress and sanitation station asphalt was left in place but in a rapidly deteriorating condition. All campground ADA campsites shall be considered in surface improvements either with HMA, concrete or enhanced limestone fines. Definition and possible redesign of the campground contact station parking and campground registration parking area, with ADA designated spaces shall be included. Paving of the day use area parking shall be included in the paving improvement plan with approximately 12 parking spaces including one ADA van accessible space and two parallel RV spaces. The existing Lake Superior Overlook and Access parking lot will also be included in the paving plan. No major road system realignment is expected but road system curve and turning radii should be reviewed and adjusted to the extent feasible, within the limits of existing infrastructure, to accommodate modern recreational vehicles. Site drainage should also be considered to solve some existing drainage challenges but to not create new problems with proposed improvements. Road improvements shall extend through the park boating access site and include the existing paved parking since this area is a functional turnaround point for all park users in addition to providing access to Muskallonge Lake. (see attached 2015 MDOT road scoping document)

Evaluate for replacement or modernization campground sanitary distribution system, lift station, and sewage lagoon

The existing sanitary system is original park infrastructure and is reaching the end of its functional design life. A conditional assessment for upgrade or replacement of the sanitary infrastructure shall be completed.

The assessment shall include the existing sanitary distribution lines that serve two toilet shower buildings, sanitation station and connection to the lift station, the lift station and wastewater lagoon. The park contact station has its own septic system and does not need to be included in the assessment. The lagoon assessment shall include a lagoon sludge analysis. The assessment shall take into consideration and provide an analysis of the existing lagoon capacity. Several years ago, MDNR PRD assumed administration and improvement of the agency state forest campground program. The state forest campground use has increased considerably and with a high number of campgrounds in proximity of Muskallonge Lake State Park and no RV dump stations closer than the City of Newberry, MDNR PRD has allowed state forest campground users to utilize the state park sanitation station for water and sewer service for a nominal fee. With the increased sewer deposits at the sanitation station the existing sewage lagoon system has been nearing or exceeding its capacity.

The assessment shall provide a calculation of the EGLE campground requirements for the wastewater lagoon system to serve just the current state park campground and secondly an assessment and calculation that includes the service provided for the surrounding state forest campground. The comparative assessment shall include a cost comparison to determine the return on investment, actual state forest campground dumping fee that provide a “break even” investment should dumping service be continued and a basis to make a more fully informed business decision whether to continue to or limit this service from a financial and public service perspective.

Tahquamenon Falls State Park

The DNR Parks and Recreation Division (PRD) Tahquamenon Falls State Park encompasses close to 52,000 acres stretching over 13 miles. Most of this is undeveloped woodland without roads, buildings, or power lines. The centerpiece of the park, and the very reason for its existence, is the Tahquamenon River with its waterfalls. It is the second largest of Michigan's state parks. Bordering on Lake Superior, most of the park is located within Chippewa County, with the western section of the park extending into Luce County. Over 600,000 people visit the park each year. The upper falls at the Tahquamenon Falls State Park is the largest waterfall viewing experience within the park and one of the primary visitor attractions year-round. At the lower falls campground and day use viewing area are several sets of cascading waterfalls move around an island within the Tahquamenon River. The Rivermouth unit provides a quiet combination of modern and rustic camping along the Tahquamenon River near the mouth of the river with boating access to Lake Superior. See attached park map.

Projects and Background Information:

Modernize the brink overlook stairs, and viewing platform at the upper falls

The upper falls Brink stairway is an elaborate timber, 96 step stairway, platform, and boardwalk structure.

The structures allow visitors to descend along a wooded embankment that terminates at the upper falls brink observation platform that provides a unique, up-close view of the upper falls. This original infrastructure is showing its age with rotting timber, worn metal tread plates, and settling components.

Some of the footings along the stairway and observation platforms have failed. As a result, there has been structural heaving and shifting that has allowed the system to move out of square, become unlevel, and misaligned. The stairway is not barrier free and does not provide universal access to the main viewing area.

The scope of work requires a baseline conditional assessment of the existing stairway and viewing platform for current LARA construction code compliance, structural integrity and cost for upgrade and repair as an option for improvement. The preferred alternative is to design and implement a barrier free ADA compliant ramp switch back system that will provide universal access for all visitors and a uniquely improved access experience. The ramp system shall incorporate enough spacing between switch backs to preserve a forest canopy and forest walk experience. Switch back landings should include occasional larger platform resting areas with seating for resting at locations that will provide a unique forest canopy view or view of the upper falls.

The scope of work shall include a minimum of two schematic designs for the new proposed access improvement. The access route design shall take into consideration preservation of unique hillside landforms, specimen trees and high-quality natural features. 3D walkthrough images and views are encouraged to assist in depicting the proposed route experiences.

Upgrade Upper Falls wastewater lagoon

The wastewater sewage lagoon that services a year-round toilet building at the upper falls unit has been experiencing high lagoon volume conditions during the winter months that create lagoon over topping risk and necessitate emergency wastewater release conditions. DNR PRD has commissioned a Phase 400 water and wastewater report to evaluate the existing toilet building and related well and wastewater infrastructure. The report evaluated existing conditions and use metrics to understand and identify possible solutions to address the situation and provided recommendations that would reduce the wastewater outflow and or water infiltration to the existing lagoon system including possible expansion of the lagoon system to increase wastewater capacity.

The scope of service shall include a technical review of the existing Phase 400 study for validation of the study finding and recommendations and or to recommend alternate analysis or wastewater reduction solutions to mitigate the lagoon capacity issue. Once an option is chosen, the design shall progress into Phase 500, 600 and 700 services.

Replace/upgrade campground electric system and camp site improvements at Portage Lower Falls Campground

The Portage campground at the lower falls is located on and near the banks of the Tahquamenon River and is adjacent to the popular lower falls day use area and provides modern camping amenities with 188 campsites. Approximately 5% of the campsites meet base level ADA requirements and include paved campsite surfaces. The park electric distribution system provides shared 20/30 amp pedestals with limited 50 amp pedestals and experiences multiple seasonal disruptions and visitor conflicts requiring park staff and agency major maintenance and contracted repairs. This system has exceeded the intended design life and needs to be addressed to provide reliable visitor and operational service.

The scope of service shall include but not be limited to the following items:

• Electric system analysis and recommendations for upgrades including planning, design, permitting and contract document preparation including construction oversight

• Electrical services and new Switchboard Panels shall be sized to accommodate connected electrical loads and to meet the minimum quantity (20%) of 50A camper pedestals will be installed to meet current L A R A c o de requirements. New electrical feed and electric panel will be installed to the toilet shower building if required.

• Increase the electrical service and distribution panel capacity for campground to meet current code requirement. I nc l ud e Surge Protection Devices to protect against voltage spikes, transients, lightning strikes and to aid in protecting camper owned electronic equipment will be installed in each distribution panel.

• All feeders to camper pedestals and camp buildings will be installed in conduit to meet current installation practices and to provide a more maintenance friendly system for future use.

• Site Improvements shall include PSC review and upgrade of existing ADA designated campsites sites for compliance with ADA standards and MDNR PRD guidelines, as necessary.

• Additional Electrical Considerations

1. All campground electric system conductors are intended to be aluminum unless market conditions suggest that it is less expensive to use copper.

2. All new electric distribution conduit and conductors shall be directionally bored to minimize environmental impact and campsite restoration.

3. All conduit and conductors are desired to be installed a minimum of 30 inches below grade.

Replace/improve well and water distribution system at Lower Falls and Hemlock campground

The Hemlock campground contains the primary well house and two wells that provide water service for the lower fall’s campgrounds, day use facilities, sanitation station and contact station. Providing reliable water from the two on site wells has become unreliable. The Hemlock water distribution system servicing the campground, toilet shower building, campground jug fillers (drinking fountains) sanitation station and contact station requires replacement. Water service is directed adjacent to and down the lower falls day use and Portage campground vehicular access to provide water service to the lower unit. This line is PVC and does appear to require replacement. Near the entrance to the Portage campground the water service line enters a water pressure reducing pit that includes mechanical equipment that allows for regulation and adjustment of water pressure to facilities in the lower unit. The water pressure reducing system is difficult to access and provide adjustments.

The scope of service shall include but not be limited to the following items:

• Water distribution and well analysis and recommendations for upgrades including planning, design, permitting and contract document preparation.

• Replacement of Hemlock campground water distribution lines, including service lines to the sanitation station and contact station.

• Removal, relocation, and upgrade of campground jug fillers.

• Connection to existing well house and upgrade of well house controls as necessary to provide intended water distribution improvements.

• Evaluate pressure reducing system for redesign and upgrade at base of hill providing water service to the lower falls Portage campground, park store and bathroom building.

• All new distribution lines shall be directly bored to minimize environmental impact and campsite restoration.

Replace/renovate Lower Falls Hemlock Campground toilet/shower building with standard PRD plan

The lower falls Hemlock Campground has a year-round campground with modern toilet shower building and campsite utilities. There are 88 campsites. The existing toilet shower building has exceeded the useful visitor service and operational life expectancy and has been slated for replacement. The existing building will be replaced with the existing building footprint location using the Parks and Recreation Division (PRD) standard toilet shower plan (see attached floor plans and elevations for reference) to include ADA walkways and 3- 5 vehicle parking spaces, one being ADA van accessible. A building hazardous material survey has been completed and will be provided to the successful consultant.

The desired project improvement shall meet ADA, considers LEED, and meets EGLE Campground requirements as well as LARA building code requirements.

Modernize Upper and Lower Falls entrance and parking areas by completing a phase 100 study to address peak visitor use vehicle congestion, vehicle stacking and back up challenges.

During peak use periods the upper falls and lower falls vehicle entry points reach over capacity that results in significant traffic back ups on to M-123 in both directions that can extend for over a mile. The traffic back up length exceeds the existing M-123 turn lanes and passing lanes which is compounded by narrow road shoulders and deep ditches. The situation creates grid lock on M-123 which can limit emergency vehicle access, creates long public delay, public frustration and in general unsafe conditions.

At the upper falls the primary parking lot is day use traffic only and vehicular congestion appears to stem from a lack of parking capacity within the existing parking lot during peak use visitation. Solutions for improvements must consider maintaining a natural and wilderness experience that Tahquamenon Falls State Park provides including minimizing over investment and development of surface parking that may be only utilized during peak use timeframes.

The MDOT and Newberry Transportation Service Center has jurisdiction on M-123 and will be a partner in this effort.

The phase 100 study at the upper falls shall include but not be limited to the following items:

• Assist in evaluation of the existing parking lot system and traffic patterns for determination on the number of additional parking spaces that may be required or and for techniques that may be able to be implemented to manage peak use traffic more effectively.

• Analysis of the existing parking lot configuration for possible improvements to increase parking capacity, and visitor safety, and or traffic management.

• Evaluate adjacent undeveloped areas in parking area for possible parking expansion opportunities and provide a minimum of two conceptual improvement plan options.

• It is possible that an offsite parking facility may be considered at the park headquarters that could incorporate a pedestrian trail network to the upper and lower falls and or a shuttle system. The location at the park headquarters may also include a future park orientation center for enhanced visitor services.

At the lower falls unit, visitor traffic includes day use traffic, incoming campers that need to register for their stay at the two campgrounds, and campers that are returning to the campgrounds from day use activities outside of the lower fall’s unit. There is limit on site vehicle stacking at the lower fall’s unit contact station with a single lane point of entry. Vehicle traffic will quickly back up on the park entrance road and then back up onto M-123 in both directions creating the same issues as identified at the upper fall’s unit.

The MDOT and Newberry Transportation Service Center has jurisdiction on M-123 and will be a partner in this effort.

The phase 100 study at the lower falls shall include but not be limited to the following items:

• Evaluation of the existing parking entry/exit area including parking lot system, turnaround, and campground entrance/exit infrastructure and traffic patterns for modernization, redesign and or techniques that may be able to be implemented to manage peak use traffic more effectively.

• Design shall include a minimum of two conceptual designs that demonstrate possible redevelopment improvement that solve the problem.

• As noted above, it is possible that an offsite parking facility may be considered at the park headquarters that could incorporate a pedestrian trail network to the upper and lower falls and or a shuttle system. The location at the park headquarters may also include a future park orientation center for enhanced visitor services which may provide a degree of relief to help solve the problem and provide a more progressive and appropriate long-term solution.

Modernize Rivermouth maintenance building and employee bathrooms

The Rivermouth campground unit is approximately 18 miles from the park headquarters and provides modern and rustic camping on the banks of the Tahquamenon River and includes a public boating access site. The current operational facility is comprised of a small aging garage that includes a makeshift employee break area with no running water. Staff use a vault toilet for bathroom facilities. The Rivermouth unit does not currently provide year-round visitor services.

The scope of work shall include design and development of a simple but modern operational maintenance building with an approximate target square footage of 2,500 square feet. The building shall include two, 10 foot wide, 12-foot tall overhead doors, unheated storage/equipment bays with an approximate 30-foot depth. A minimum of one heated unisex bathroom, heated employee break room, and heated work bench area shall be included. Windows for natural daylighting, low maintenance exterior treatments including metal roofing, metal siding or a rustic, low maintenance treatment, and a 3-foot-tall concrete block foundation shall be considered. A single pitch roof towards the back of the building will protect the garage bay doors from winter snow and ice slide and minimize operational snow and ice removal efforts. Water service is anticipated to be provided from the adjacent campground well house with sewer service from a proposed septic field. Heating will be electric, or propane based on cost efficiencies. Electric service exists on the site and runs through the operational area via an overhead power line. It is desired to coordinate with the utility provider, as part of this improvement, to place the overhead powerlines underground within the primary operational use area (from utility pole to utility pole). Related operational amenities such as overhead electric drop cords in the shop bays, generous electric outlets, logical low level storage areas, and common sense building operational elements shall be included for improvement consideration.
