17. CONTRACT AND CONTRACT AWARD:

17.1 If the Owner elects to award the Contract, the Owner will make the award to the responsive and responsible best value bidder. Determination of the lowest three Bidders shall be on the basis of the sum of the Base Bid and any additive and deductive Alternates the Owner accepts, in the order in which they are listed only. The Owner will accept an Alternate only if all other previously listed Alternates are also accepted unless acceptance by the Owner of Alternates in a different order does not affect determination of the lowest three bidders in any way.

17.2 The bids will be evaluated for best value based on price and qualitative components by comparing the qualitative components of the three lowest responsive and responsible Bidders.

The comparison may also include other Bidders whose bids are within 10% of the lowest responsive and responsible Bidder.

17.3 For the purpose of evaluating and determining the three low responsive bids, 10% of the lowest responsive bid (the bid that would otherwise receive the contract award if the preference were not being considered) will be deducted from all QDV bids. The original QDV bid amount will be the basis of the contract award.

Example:

Lowest Responsive Bid $100,000 Lowest Responsive QDV Bid $109,000 Preference (10% of the Lowest Responsive Bid) $ 10,000 Lowest Responsive QDV Bid Less Preference $ 99,000 ($109,000 - $10,000) Official Low Responsive Bid $109,000

17.4 The Apparent Low Bidders will be evaluated for responsiveness and responsibility based on the following:

• Compliance with the bid specifications and requirements.

• The Bidder’s financial resources.

• The Bidder’s technical capabilities.

• The Bidder’s technical experience.

• The Bidder’s past performance.

• The Bidder’s insurance and bonding capacity.

• The Bidder’s business integrity.

[23]

Some qualitative components that may be evaluated are:

• Technical approach.

• Quality of proposed personnel.

• Management plans.

• Past performance of any nominated asbestos abatement subcontractor(s).

17.5 For contracts under $250,000, the best value will primarily be based on the lowest responsive and responsible bid.

Final completion is July 1, 2026, and liquidated damages for each Calendar Day that expires after it shall be in the amount of $500.00. Liquidated damages are not a penalty, are cumulative and represent a reasonable estimate of the Owner’s extra costs and damages, which are difficult to estimate with accuracy in advance.

19. MOBILIZATION: The costs to establish temporary site offices, to obtain required permits for commencing the Work and for bonds and insurance premiums are examples of costs to the DB Entity that are covered by the mobilization pay item. This cost shall not exceed four percent (4%) of the Not-To-Exceed Bid, unless otherwise expressly provided in the Bidding Documents.

20. SAFETY REQUIREMENTS AND LAWS: The Bidder awarded the Contract shall comply with all applicable federal, state, and local Laws including health and safety regulations, environmental protection, permits and licensing.

22. As a public record, all portions of the proposal response and resulting contract are subject to disclosure as required under Michigan’s Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), MCL 15.231, et seq. However, the State may exempt some information from disclosure as permitted by law.

The State reserves the right to determine whether materials submitted by a bidder fall under applicable FOIA exemptions

23. SOIL EROSION AND SEDIMENTATION CONTROL: All Work under this Contract shall meet the storm water management requirements of the Project and comply with the applicable Soil Erosion and Sedimentation Control (SESC) rules and regulations and specific provisions for the same. SESC measures will be monitored and enforced by DTMB-SFA, or another authorized enforcing agency if so delegated, through the review of the DB Entity’s implementation plans and site inspections.

[24]

SFA or the other authorized enforcing agency will notify the DB Entity in writing of any violation(s) of the applicable SESC statutes and/or the corrective action(s) undertaken by the Owner and may issue stop work orders.
