171/21365. JAG; Ottawa Parking - Fire Suppression Replacement

The Michigan Department of Technology, Management and Budget (DTMB) is seeking professional design services for the Ottawa Parking Ramp Fire Suppression System Improvements project located in Lansing, Michigan. The RFP requires the successful contractor to complete the study, program analysis, schematic design, preliminary design, final design, construction administration-office services, and construction administration-field services phases of the project. The new fire suppression system must include a nitrogen generator to prevent moisture buildup, as the current main lines are rusting and causing frequent leaks. Minimum qualifications include demonstrated experience in similar projects in compliance with all applicable regulations. The evaluation criteria will be 80% technical proposal and 20% cost proposal. A mandatory pre-proposal meeting is scheduled for September 6, 2022, and proposals are due on September 15, 2022.

The RFP does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. It also does not list any incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor does it provide any information on existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The RFP also does not include any possible award values or budget ranges, only stating that the professional service contractor will be required to provide a complete design within the approved project budget, and no increase in compensation will be allowed unless there is a material change to the scope of work approved in writing.
