CASS PARK IMPROVEMENT PROJECT - BID FORM SUMMARY

This is a bid form for the Cass Park Improvement Project issued by the City of Detroit Office of Contracting and Procurement on behalf of the General Services Department in Michigan. The project encompasses comprehensive park improvements including demolition of existing site elements (trees, concrete, asphalt, and pavers), restoration and relocation of two sculptures (Robert Burns Statue and James Lawton Sculpture), installation of new concrete paths and pads totaling approximately 55,910 square feet, playground equipment including swings, robinia logs and stumps, boulders, and synthetic turf surfacing, fitness equipment (pull-up bars, air walkers, benches), plaza and park site amenities (tables, benches, drinking fountain, trash receptacles, park signs), electrical lighting and outdoor power infrastructure, landscaping with 57 deciduous trees and landscape materials, irrigation systems, and green stormwater infrastructure on a design-build basis. The bid form structure requires contractors to provide unit pricing for all line items organized into eleven main categories plus soft costs and allowances.

The total base bid shown on the form is $345,000, which includes fixed-fee items for park landscaping ($45,000), miscellaneous work including green stormwater infrastructure design and build ($150,000), and additional services ($150,000). Bidders must complete all pricing fields, unit rates for future work (engineered wood fiber surfacing, poured-in-place surfacing, topsoil, and topsoil seed/mulch), and fully burdened labor rates for construction manager personnel including project managers, superintendents, engineers, estimators, and laborers. The form notes that right-of-way concrete pricing and water tap pricing should include applicable permit fees, and playground surfacing pricing should include post-installation testing (G-Max and H.I.C testing). The bid form allows for alternate proposals to be submitted on a separate schedule with all costs included.
