The Michigan Department of Military and Veterans Affairs issued a Request for Proposal on May 14, 2018, for the procurement and delivery of approximately 15,000 cubic yards of topsoil to Camp Grayling Joint Maneuver Training Center in Grayling, Michigan. The topsoil must meet stringent quality specifications, including being free of debris, compost, and chemical treatments, with a pH range of 5.5 to 7.6, and capable of passing through a 3/8" screen. Contractors must provide all labor, materials, and equipment necessary for delivery to the 600 area of the Camp Grayling JMTC cantonment, with deliveries required within 30 calendar days of order receipt and 45 business days total from order receipt. The proposal deadline is May 22, 2018, at 3:00 p.m. Eastern, with an anticipated contract effective date of June 15, 2018, and expiration date of September 30, 2019. Evaluation criteria include work specifications (30 points), delivery (10 points), subcontractor disclosure (15 points), and background and experience (45 points), with proposals required to score at least 80 points to be eligible for price evaluation. Qualified bidders must submit applicable licenses, soil analysis or test results, weight and delivery slips, and proof of required insurance coverage including General Liability, Automobile Liability, Workers' Compensation, and Cyber Liability at specified minimums of $1,000,000.

The RFP does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions limiting participation to particular types of organizations, though compliance with federal provisions and Davis-Bacon Act prevailing wage requirements may apply if triggered. No subcontracting is permitted under this contract, and pricing must be submitted on a per-cubic-yard rate basis with minimum delivery quantities in tons and additional costs per mile from the Camp Grayling JMTC cantonment area. Pricing is firm for 365 days beginning on the effective date, and all invoices must be submitted electronically through the State's SIGMA VSS system with payment via Electronic Funds Transfer within 45 days of receipt. The contract is subject to State Administrative Board approval if the award value exceeds $500,000, though the specific budget range or award value is not disclosed in the RFP documents. Camp Grayling JMTC reserves the right to inspect and test the topsoil prior to acceptance, and contract activities are contingent upon receipt of funding.
