About this file
This Addendum 1 document serves as a revision and clarification to Request for Proposal No. 260000001557 issued by the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) for mowing services at the Brighton Maintenance Garage and Park and Rides in Livingston County. The RFP document has been revised to address discussions and questions from the mandatory pre-proposal meeting held on March 30, 2026 at 10:02 a.m. via virtual TEAMS meeting. Key revisions include updated service specifications and clarified requirements for Brighton Garage lawn mowings, fall clean-up, spring clean-up, and park-and-ride lawn mowings in Schedule A, Section 1.1, as well as new sections addressing trimming requirements (Section 1.2) and litter pickup requirements (Section 1.3). Supporting maps and attachments have been corrected, including corrections to the Lee Road Park and Ride map and the addition of an aerial view of the new M-36 Park and Ride location. An optional on-site meeting was scheduled for Thursday, April 2, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. at the Brighton Maintenance Garage (10102 East Grand River Ave., Brighton, MI 48116) to allow bidders to view service locations. Attendance at the mandatory pre-proposal meeting was required for bid evaluation consideration.
The addendum addresses critical clarifications from bidder questions, including confirmation that the new M-36 Park and Ride location is still under construction with no physical address available, corrections to park-and-ride maps, and clarification that mowing frequency at park-and-rides is to be provided on an as-needed and as-requested basis rather than a fixed schedule of 10 times annually. Eight landscaping and property maintenance vendors attended the pre-proposal meeting, including S&L Landscape, Teddy's Lawn & Landscape, Lansing Real Green Lawncare, Lawn Crafters, JA Makin Properties, ET Landscaping, and Clearwater Property Service. The buyer contact is Ruth Thole at MDOT, reachable at 517-335-4972 or TholeR@michigan.gov.

Addendum 1 Request for Proposal No. 260000001557
Mowing Brighton Garage and Park and Rides in Livingston County
Revisions to RFP Document, Questions/Answers from the Pre-Proposal Meeting, and Attendance list for Mandatory Pre-Proposal Meeting
1. RFP Revisions:
RFP 260000001557 document has been revised (revisions are indicted by blue font in the document) to address the discussion and questions from the Pre-Proposal meeting.
A. An optional on-site meeting is scheduled for Thursday, April 2, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. for the purpose of visiting and viewing the service locations. The MDOT Program Manager and designee will meet with bidders at the Brighton Maintenance Garage, located at 10102 East Grand River Ave. Brighton, MI 48116 and will escort them to each service location.
B. Schedule A, Section 1.1 Requirements is revised to add service specifications and clarify requirements for Brighton Garage lawn mowings, Fall Clean-Up, Spring Clean-up, and the Park-N-Ride lawn mowings.
C. Schedule A, Section 1.2 is added to add trimming requirements.
D. Schedule A, Section 1.3 is added to add litter pickup requirements.
Attachment 1 has been revised:
A. The map for Lee Road Park and Ride has been corrected.
B. An aerial view of the M-36 Park and Ride has been added. The aerial view indicates the location for this new Park and Ride and also indicates the location of the old Park and Ride.
2. Questions and Answers from the Pre-Proposal Meeting
Q# Bidder’s Question MDOT’s Response
1.
Is there an updated physical address for the park and ride located north of M-36 and west of US-23?
No, this is a new park and ride, still under construction, and a physical address is not available. The new location is just off M-36 on Whitmore Lake Rd. (old 23) to the north. An aerial view of the location has been added to Attachment 1 – Livingston County Mowing REVISED.
2.
The map of Lee Road Park and Ride is the same as the map of Silver Lake Park and Ride.
The correct map for Lee Road Park and Ride has been added to Attachment 1 – Livingston County Mowing REVISED.
3.
Since some construction at the Brighton Maintenance Garage has occurred, is the map for this location correct?
A small area to the south end of the grounds may have changed due to construction and the actual mowing area is likely a little less than indicated. An on-site meeting can be scheduled to allow bidders to view the area and discuss the additional mowing area.
4.
The number of Park and Ride mowings is 10, which is less than twice per month – maybe every 2-1/2 weeks. Please clarify the frequency.
The frequency for mowing at the park and rides is difficult to determine. Therefore, Schedule A, Section 1.1 related to Park-N- Rides mowings has been revised to indicate services will be as-needed and as-requested by MDOT.
