About this file

This is a Project Scope and Specifications document prepared by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources (MDNR) for the installation of an electronic sign system at the Seney Field Office located at the corner of M-77 and M-28 in Seney, Michigan. The project requires the contractor to furnish and install two single-sided Daktronics GS6-60x75-15.85 RGB marquee display signs (44" tall by 50" wide with time and temperature features), pour or provide concrete pier footings, fabricate and install post sign bases, install MDNR-supplied Smokey the Bear and "Prevent Forest Fires" signs, and trench and install underground conduit with electrical feed from the field office building to the sign location. The work scope includes site restoration to match Michigan Department of Transportation Standard Specifications. The contractor must provide web-based system access with three log-ins, remote operational training, and all permits and inspections through the State of Michigan - LARA. A two-week advance notice is required before project commencement to allow DNR staff to remove the existing sign. All work must be completed by September 15, 2025.

The project specifications detail the fabrication and installation of three concrete footings (18" diameter, 3,000 PSI minimum, 30-32" deep), three wood posts (treated 4x6), steel rectangular tubing, rebar, angle iron, wood crossmembers, and associated hardware. Power delivery includes approximately 75 feet of 3/4" underground conduit with a disconnect/breaker at the building and an exterior weatherproof 110-volt outlet with on-off switch. The contractor is responsible for all costs related to materials, labor, permits, and inspections. The MDNR will supply the Smokey Bear and "Prevent Forest Fires" signage for contractor installation. No pricing, funding sources, or set-aside information is specified in this document, which serves primarily as the technical specifications and design blueprint for bid preparation.
