171/25044. RWG; MDOT Warehouse - Roof Replacement

The State of Michigan's Department of Technology, Management and Budget (DTMB) is seeking professional architectural and engineering services for the MDOT Warehouse Roof Replacement and Waterproofing project located at 7575 Crowner Dr, Dimondale, MI. The procurement involves two primary project phases: Phase 100 (Study) and Phase 500 (Final Design/Bidding Documents), targeting the replacement of a 95,000 sq.ft. existing built-up mineral surface roof with a single-ply membrane roof system. The project requires a comprehensive scope including design development, specifications preparation, construction oversight, and project documentation, with a mandatory 20-year minimum manufacturer and installation warranty. A mandatory pre-proposal meeting is scheduled for September 22, 2025, at 10:00 a.m., with proposal responses due on October 16, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time via SIGMA VSS upload. The evaluation process will be conducted by an Ad Hoc Advisory Committee, with technical proposals weighted at 80% and cost proposals at 20%, focusing on the firm's ability to address extensive building exterior deficiencies identified in a 2022 study by Hobbs & Black, including tuckpointing repairs and leak mitigation.

The procurement does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Compensation will be structured on billable hourly rates with a not-to-exceed contract value, allowing reimbursement for specific expenses like printing, reproduction, soil borings, surveys, and laboratory testing. Professional firms must submit separate billing rates with moderate mark-ups on consultant services, and travel expenses beyond 100 miles will be reimbursed at state rates. While specific budget ranges are not definitively stated, previous architectural studies indicated substantial project costs, with the MDOT Warehouse exterior envelope work estimated around $269,450. Bidders must submit a Certification of Michigan-Based Business and a Responsibility Certification, demonstrating compliance with federal and state agency codes, standards, and regulations from entities including EPA, OSHA, DOT, DCH, EGLE, DNR, and MIOSHA. The desired work schedule anticipates design during Winter 2025 with bid-ready plans in early 2026, suggesting a project timeline extending into the following calendar year.
