The contract is subject to liquidated damages of $5,000 plus an additional $1,000 per day for late or improper completion.

Service-disabled veteran-owned business (SDVOB) preference applies under Michigan law for this procurement. The contract is potentially subject to federal provisions if funded with federal dollars, including Davis-Bacon Act prevailing wage requirements, Clean Air Act compliance, debarment and suspension requirements, and Byrd Anti-Lobbying certification for purchases exceeding $100,000. The State of Michigan reserves the right to award to multiple vendors to fulfill equipment requirements and to determine whether proposed units are comparable alternates.
