Van Dyke Mixed Use Rehabilitation Project
The City of Warren Tax Increment Finance Authority (TIFA) is seeking electronic bids for the Van Dyke Mixed Use Rehabilitation Project, a comprehensive renovation of three adjacent buildings located at 23150, 23154, and 23158 Van Dyke Avenue in Warren, Michigan. The procurement involves a full-scale rehabilitation to create a mixed-use space with a commercial/retail/hospitality area on the first floor and a residential unit on the second floor. Contractors must submit bids electronically via the BidNet (MITN) system by April 3, 2024, at 12:30 PM, with pre-bid meetings already conducted on March 15 and 18, 2024. Bidders are required to demonstrate at least ten years of business experience, successful completion of three municipal/governmental projects valued at $3 million or more within the past decade, and the ability to provide 100% payment and performance bonding. The scope of work includes extensive demolition, limited site improvements, structural modifications, architectural framing and finishes, code compliance upgrades, and mechanical/electrical/plumbing improvements to create a "white box" space suitable for future fit-out. Contractors must submit a 5% bid security and a Contractor's Qualification Statement, with contract award anticipated in mid-April.
The procurement does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The project will be executed under a single prime contract with prevailing wage requirements in effect, as detailed in the attached Prevailing Wage Rates document. A comprehensive pre-renovation Hazardous Materials Survey has already been conducted, identifying and addressing asbestos-containing materials, lead-based paint, PCB-containing materials, mercury-containing components, and chlorofluorocarbons that must be abated prior to renovation. While a specific project budget is not directly stated, the extensive scope of work, including structural improvements, architectural modifications, and systems upgrades, suggests a significant investment. The project will utilize the 2015 Michigan Rehabilitation Code for Existing Buildings and is designed as a Type V-B construction with automatic sprinkler protection throughout the building. Additional project complexity is evident in the multiple addenda issued, which provide detailed clarifications on specifications, architectural drawings, and project requirements, indicating a thorough and nuanced approach to the rehabilitation effort.
