About this file
This document is a Construction Bid Addendum No. 2 issued by the Michigan Department of Technology, Management and Budget (DTMB) for the Straits State Harbor Solar Arrays project. The addendum, dated 9/11/2025, addresses a Design Build project with a bid opening date of 9/17/2025 and file number 751/24226.SAA. The addendum provides clarifications and responses to eight specific questions related to the solar array project, including details about Consumers Energy meters, potential project downsizing, utility limitations, and installation configurations for solar arrays in parking lot areas and on a north pier.
Key points from the addendum include guidance on system sizing to offset maximum utility allowances for two meters, flexibility in canopy design, and the potential use of a north pier array as an alternate installation location if sufficient parking lot space is unavailable. The document indicates that the Design Build (DB) entity will be responsible for QA/QC testing, and there are no projected electrical load increases anticipated in the next 12 months. The DNR (Department of Natural Resources) remains open to alternative installation approaches that provide economic advantages, particularly if the north pier array can be more cost-effectively integrated with carport arrays to meet the targeted energy offset.

ADDENDUM ITEMS: (attach additional sheets and drawings if required)
1) Question: Can DNR issue copies of the Consumers Energy bills for each meter planned for interconnection at Straights State Harbor?
Answer: Yes, there was additional meter information released in Addendum 1. The system should be sized to offset the maximum size allowable by Consumers to offset both meters.
2) Question: If the project is downsized based on limitations from the utility, would DNR prefer to have one continuous canopy, or two separate canopies as outlined in the schematic?
Answer: DNR has no preference whether one or two canopies are used.
3) Question: If the project is downsized based on limitations from the utility, should the pier alternate be eliminated from the RFP response?
4) Answer: The use of the pier is an alternate and should be used if there is not sufficient area in the designated parking lot areas. This section would be eliminated if budgets do not allow.
5) Question: Does DNR have any projected electrical load increases in the next 12 months?
Answer: There are not projected load increases in the next 12 months.
6) Question: Can you please clarify if the DB entity needs to hire the consultant for QA/QC testing, or if the Owner will be contracting this work directly?
Answer: The DB entity will need to provide the testing per the contract.
7) Question: Site visit indicated 2 meters. Please provide meter # targeted for offset. Please provide interval data for both meters, if applicable.
Answer: Data was provided in Addendum #1 to include both meters. It is intended to offset as much usage as possible for both meters.
8) Question: Deduct alternative - Please clarify if North Pier array is intended only if targeted offset cannot be achieved with carport arrays solo. If pricing for North Pier array is less $/W than carports, is there a preference to install a mix between carports and North Pier ground mount, or install only carports, if targeted offset can be met by carports only?
Answer: The north pier is only intended to provide additional space if the targeted offset cannot be achieved with the carport arrays. If there is an economic advantage to utilizing the pier and some carport instead of all carports then we would be interested in reviewing that opportunity.
