107 francis CT - repair foundation wall (INTERIOR) and install new gutters on home

The City of Jackson, Michigan is seeking sealed proposals for a residential rehabilitation project located at 107 Francis Court, involving foundation wall repair and gutter replacement. The project encompasses approximately 500 square feet of foundation wall masonry work, including tuckpointing and interior repairs, as well as the installation of 100 linear feet of gutters and 40 linear feet of downspouts. Proposals will be received electronically through the City of Jackson's e-Procurement Portal, with a firm submission deadline of January 7, 2025, at 9:00 AM. No pre-bid meeting is scheduled, but contractors are permitted to contact the homeowner, Doris Westbrook, to arrange site access and assess the project scope. Evaluation criteria will focus on responsiveness to bid specifications, compliance with federal and local regulations, and submission of the lowest responsible bid. Contractors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) and demonstrate the ability to meet technical specifications and federal compliance standards.

The contract opportunity includes several set-aside provisions and restrictions to promote equal opportunity and diversity in contracting. Bidders must comply with various federal regulations, including Title VI and Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act, the Michigan Civil Rights Act, and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. The project emphasizes Section 3 provisions, which mandate direct employment opportunities for low- and very low-income persons, and includes affirmative steps to engage minority and women-owned businesses. While no specific project budget is disclosed in the documentation, the contract appears to be funded through HUD or similar community development resources. The City of Jackson reserves the right to reject any bid and award the contract to the most responsible bidder, with a particular focus on small and minority business participation. Contractors will be required to adhere to Davis-Bacon Act wage requirements and provide comprehensive reporting and audit documentation as part of the project's implementation.
