The Michigan Department of Technology, Management and Budget (DTMB) State Facilities Administration is seeking professional architectural and engineering services for exterior entrance renovations at the Saginaw State Office Building, located at 411 E Genesee Ave, Saginaw, Michigan. The project, identified as File Number 171/25046.CTS, involves comprehensive renovations to the Main North and South entrances, focusing on addressing ADA accessibility concerns, replacing exterior pavements, landscaping, walls, and potentially replacing outer storefront doors. Proposers must provide professional services across multiple project phases including Study (100), Program (200), Schematic Design (300), Preliminary Design (400), Final Design (500), Construction Administration - Office Services (600), and Construction Administration - Field Services (700). Proposals will be evaluated using an 80% technical and 20% cost ratio by an Ad Hoc Advisory Committee, with a mandatory pre-proposal meeting held on February 5, 2025, at 10:00 am at the project site. The proposal submission deadline is February 20, 2025, at 2:00 pm Eastern Time, with questions required to be submitted via email to Chris Schanbeck by February 10, 2025. The preliminary project schedule indicates design work from March-May 2025, bidding from June-July 2025, and construction from September-November 2025.

The procurement appears open to professional architectural and engineering firms without specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. Proposers must submit comprehensive technical and cost proposals through the SIGMA VSS system, with a combined attachment not exceeding 25mb. The contract will be structured as a billable-rate agreement with a not-to-exceed amount, requiring detailed hourly billing rates and estimated hours for each project phase. While no specific incumbent vendors are mentioned, the project requires compliance with multiple federal, state, and local codes administered by agencies including EPA, OSHA, DOT, and MIOSHA. Professional services providers must maintain appropriate insurance coverage and be prepared to coordinate across multiple disciplines, including architectural, civil, structural, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing services. Although a precise budget is not explicitly stated, the sample cost breakdown in the RFP documentation suggests a potential contract value around $12,000-$15,000, with reimbursable expenses allowed up to 5% markup for services not performed in-house. The project will run concurrently with another separate facility project, though firms are not required to bid on both.
