About this file
This is an Award Recommendation and Evaluation Synopsis from the Michigan Department of Transportation Purchasing Unit for Request for Proposals (RFP) 260000001188 regarding Catch Basin/Drainage System Cleaning services in Oakland County. The solicitation sought a contractor to provide inspection, documentation, and cleaning services for drainage structures located within Michigan state trunkline rights of way. The RFP was posted on SIGMA VSS on April 1, 2026, with a proposal due date of April 22, 2026. Five vendors submitted proposals by the deadline: Duke's Root Control, Inc.; EMU Global Services LLC; National Industrial Maintenance, Inc.; Power Vac, LLC; and Rogue Industrial Services, LLC. The contract term is approximately two years and eight months with up to two one-year renewal options. The State Administrative Board approval is pending for the recommended award.
Rogue Industrial Services, LLC has been recommended for award in the amount of $918,600.00 for the full contract term, representing the lowest responsive and responsible bid among four passing proposals. The evaluation process was conducted on a pass/fail basis for six mandatory criteria, including completion of required forms, vendor questions responses, agreement with standard contract terms, and acceptable schedules. EMU Global Services LLC was deemed non-responsive due to proposing subcontractors for drainage structure cleaning services when subcontractors were limited to traffic control functions only. The pricing evaluation compared proposals across seven line items, including drainage structure observation, routine and non-routine cleaning services at various times, TV truck services, and emergency cleaning requests. Total pricing for one year ranged from $306,200 to $945,500 across the four passing bidders.
