This is a Project Statement from the Michigan Department of Technology, Management and Budget (DTMB) for Professional Architectural and Engineering Services at Tahquamenon Falls State Park. The project involves improvements to the Lower Falls boat concession and island visitor services, including a new boat concession building, upgrade/replacement of the island boat landing, restoration of the boat slide, pedestrian bridge construction, ADA pathway improvements, and boardwalk upgrades. Proposals were due November 9, 2017, at 2:00 pm EST, with a mandatory walk-through inspection scheduled for October 25, 2017. The project requires complete Phase 500 services, Phase 400 services as needed, and Phases 600-700 for design and construction administration, with work expected to begin December 4, 2017.

The project includes three Owner's Cash Allowances as Phase 500 Reimbursements: $1,500 for permitting, $5,000 for soil borings and analysis, and $2,500 for topographic survey verification. While a specific project construction budget is not stated, the document indicates that if funding is insufficient for all Phase 500-700 work, proposal revisions may be requested to award as many phases as funding allows. The project requires consideration of the Tahquamenon River's status as a proposed federally designated "wild and scenic river" and must comply with DNR campground design guidelines. The park receives over 500,000 annual visitors, and construction is envisioned no sooner than the 2018 construction season.

Clearly indicate in the subject line “Tahquamenon Falls State Park – Lower Falls Boat Concession and Island Visitor Services Improvements”.

SERVICES REQUESTED:

Provide a complete PSC Proposal for all required Professional Architectural and Engineering Services in compliance with the State of Michigan, Department of Technology Management and Budget (DTMB) Project Statement Form (DTMB427), DTMB Billing Rate Professional Services Contract and the DTMB 430 RFP Billable Rate Form (DTMB 430), and DTMB State Facilities Administration, Design and Construction Division (DCD) policies and procedures for:

Complete Phase 500 services, with Phase 400 services as necessary, and Phase 600 and 700 services for design and construction administration for improvement of the Lower Falls boat concession and island visitor services at the Tahquamenon Falls State Park. The services and products provided shall be compatible with MDNR facility and operational requirements and practice.

Project Description:

The DNR Parks and Recreation Division (PRD) Tahquamenon Falls State Park encompasses 52,000 acres stretching over 13 miles. Most of this is undeveloped woodland without roads, buildings or power lines. The centerpiece of the park, and the very reason for its existence, is the Tahquamenon River with its waterfalls. It is the second largest of Michigan’s state parks. Bordering on Lake Superior, most of the park is located within Chippewa County, with the western section of the park extending into Luce County. Over 500,000 people visit the park annually.

At the lower falls campground and day use viewing area are several sets of cascading waterfalls that move around an island within the Tahquamenon River. Two of the primary visitor experiences at this location include an expansive river water fall viewing area and popular row boat rental concession that provides self- guided access to the island and its walkway system.

The boat concession area and pedestrian access has aged to a point where much of the associated infrastructure is beyond simple operational repair or replacement, is putting the visiting public at risk and requires major renovation or replacement. The row boat rental, island take out point and island walkways are not currently barrier free. A Phase 100 Study including Phase 400 design was completed and will be made available to the successful PSC. DEQ and USACE permits have been submitted and approved for these elements. Schematic drawings for the proposed boat concession upgrade and the island pedestrian bridge are attached for consideration.

DNR PRD desires to retain a professional services consultant (PSC) for Phase 500 services to complete the design and contract documents for the desired solutions including a new boat concession building, upgrade or replacement of the island boat landing, restoration of the boat concession put in/ take out boat slide, pedestrian bridge over the Tahquamenon River to the island, island ADA pathway improvements and upgrade or replacement of the existing boardwalk to the primary waterfall viewing stations.

Design shall take into account natural features, visitor use patterns, visitor needs, existing park infrastructure, proposed park infrastructure, permitting requirements, park operations and potential revenue implications. The Tahquamenon River is a proposed federally designated “wild and scenic river” and as such is subject to the federal criteria, review and approval on any alterations or changes along the river.

All design should comply with the DNR campground design guidelines. A project construction budget has not been determined.

Professional Services:

Provide complete Phase 500-700 services and Phase 400 services as needed. Professional services shall also include, but are not limited to:

• Gathering all base data and design development information that shall ultimately be necessary for plans, submittals and permit applications required for LARA, DEQ, USACE, DTMB, county health department, etc.

Review veracity of data and information obtained sufficiently to confirm adequacy for design development and use.

• Site topographic survey verification at critical locations including elements necessary for preparing improvement contract documents.

• Provide soil borings and soil profiling and analysis as required.

• LARA plan review submittal and fees. Plan review is to be completed prior to advertising for bids.

• DTMB-DCD SESC plan review submittal. Plan review is to be completed prior to advertising for bids.

• Lead and/or assist Owner in permit applications as appropriate to scope. If required reapplication to DEQ, USACE and or Wild and Scenic River permit fees and application submittals. Owner-provided permits to be included in the bidding documents shall be obtained prior to advertising for bids.

• Construction cost estimating.

• Design and construction scheduling.

• Maintaining an inclusive, transparent and informative relationship with DTMB and DNR-PRD.

Proposal:

The PSC proposal shall include:

• Clear documentation of the number of meetings proposed during each Phase (400-700), indicating whether the meetings are proposed to be on-site, face to face, by telephone, or in specific electronic format. The PSC shall provide agendas and meeting minutes for all project meetings, including meetings held in Go-To-Meeting format.

The PSC shall identify and itemize as a reimbursable expense all reimbursable and travel expenses in the PSC Cost Proposal. Note that travel reimbursements in accordance with the standard DTMB PSC Contract for projects greater than 100 miles from the PSC’s office must be provided in accordance with the current SOM travel rate schedule and that per-diem rates that do not utilize the SOM travel rates as their basis should not be used.

• While some project team planning meetings may be considered in the form of computer-based meetings (e.g.

GoToMeetings), key review meetings shall be in person. For all meetings being held for document review, all required review information shall be submitted electronically and in hard copy formats 14 days prior to the meetings. At a minimum 2 face-to-face meetings will be required including: 1) a project planning kick off meeting including site assessment; and 2) one Phase 500 50% document set (plans, specs, cost estimate, schedule) review meeting.

• Provide a biweekly progress summary email to the project team, briefly documenting the prior 2-week’s progress by the PSC and display the initial project schedule and current schedule status.

• All testing required to verify the site conditions for the proper design is to be identified in the PSC Technical Proposal, and the costs of testing are to be itemized in the PSC Cost Proposal as reimbursements. The PSC shall indicate in his proposal any testing requirements other than those identified as Owner’s Cash Allowances indicated below. Should the PSC determine that any of the Owner’s Cash Allowances indicated below are is inadequate, identify and include the proposed costs accordingly.

• A graphic bar-chart schedule (in weeks) indicating the PSC’s proposed timeline for services based on a proposed PSC Contract start date of December 4, 2017. For scheduling purposes, assume 14 calendar days each of Owner review for the Phase 500 50% document set, and for the Phase 500 90% document set submittals.

The PSC shall include in the PSC Cost proposal the following Owner’s Cash Allowances as Phase 500 Reimbursements:

• A) Permitting Allowance: $1,500.00.

• B) Soil Borings and Soils Analysis Allowance: $5,000.00

• C) Topographic Survey Verification: $2,500.00

The budget for this work is believed to be reasonable to accommodate the services requested. However, in the event it is insufficient to fund all of the Phase 500-700 work requested, it is anticipated that proposal revision will be requested by addendum to award to the selected firm as many Phases as funding allows. Consequently, the PSC cost proposal should be priced such that each Phase is a standalone task. It is currently anticipated that additional funding will be sought if needed to address any Phases not included in the initial award.

The PSC shall be required to maintain a complete project file of all project documentation including, but not limited to, base information, contract documents, all correspondence, all e-mails, all RFI’s and answers, Field Orders and communication telephone logs. The project files shall be maintained in a hard copy format and delivered to the Lansing office of the DTMB Design and Construction Division with the PSC final Payment Request.

NIGP CODES

90607, 92533, 90680, 92587

DESIRED SCHEDULE OF WORK

While the park use season is generally from April – October, waterfall viewing and boardwalk use is year round, so it is anticipated that the consulting data collection and planning may take place in a coordinated and conscientious manner as needed. Construction is envisioned no sooner than the 2018 construction season. Site assessment work can begin as soon as possible upon contract issuance.

ACCEPTING RFP QUESTIONS UNTIL: On the Thursday one week prior to proposal due date, by 5pm.

REFERENCE STANDARDS: This project will comply with all codes, standards, regulations, and workers' safety rules that are administered by federal agencies (EPA, OSHA, and DOT), state agencies (DCH, DEQ, DNR, and MIOSHA), and any other local regulations and standards that may apply.

This form is required to be a part of the professional service contract. (Authority: 1984 PA 431)
