Industry Day Manitou Islands

The National Park Service Denver Service Center published a Special Notice announcing an Industry Day focused on construction and construction-related contracting opportunities at North and South Manitou Islands within Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. The Industry Day will involve onsite visits over two days in April 2024 to showcase repair and construction work involving dock replacements, dredging, utility infrastructure upgrades, and historic building preservation maintenance for approximately 33 structures.

The Industry Day aims to inform interested small local business enterprises of an upcoming solicitation for a comprehensive facility rehabilitation project on the Manitou Islands. Attendance is limited to two people per firm, with additional attendees considered on a case-by-case basis. Interested parties should RSVP by April 10th and bring their own food and water. The solicitation for this project is expected within the next three to six months. Eligible contractors will have the opportunity to learn more about the planned repair and construction initiatives and discuss the upcoming opportunity with National Park Service representatives during the site visits.
