About this file
This is an Award Recommendation and Evaluation Synopsis prepared by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources for the Munuscong Culvert Project Site 2, a one-time procurement. The RFP was posted on SIGMA VSS on June 18, 2026, for a fourteen-calendar-day period, with proposals due by July 2, 2026. The project requires removal of two existing culverts and replacement with new 64-inch-wide by 43-inch-tall corrugated steel arch culverts. Three bidders submitted responsive proposals: Baruzzini & Sons, Jake's Landscaping & Excavating, and Nelson Shoreline Excavating. The Notice of Intent to Award was issued on July 17, 2026.
The evaluation process determined that all three bidders were responsive and responsible vendors meeting all mandatory requirements, including minor construction specifications and certificate of liability insurance. The solicitation specified award to the lowest-price, responsive bidder. Jake's Landscaping & Excavating was recommended for award at $19,670.00, which was the lowest of the three bids—compared to $37,000.00 from Nelson Shoreline Excavating and $39,500.00 from Baruzzini & Sons. None of the bidders qualified as Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Businesses or Geographically Disadvantaged Business Enterprises. Unsuccessful bidders may request a debriefing session with Solicitation Manager Lisa Crozier-Green at CrozierGreenL@michigan.gov.
