2024-2025 Potter Road Design and Construction Engineering

The City of Wixom is seeking qualified engineering firms to submit proposals for design and construction engineering services for a comprehensive roadway reconstruction project on Potter Road. The project spans one mile, specifically from Wixom Road to Beck Road, with planned construction during the 2025 season and potential extension into 2026. Required services include geotechnical analysis, topographic surveying, traffic control planning, permit acquisition, public coordination, design development, and construction engineering. Proposals are due by July 24, 2024, at 10:00 AM, with potential interviews scheduled for July 29-31, 2024, and an anticipated award notification date of August 13, 2024. The City will evaluate proposals based on qualifications, experience, and fee schedules, understanding that the lowest monetary proposal may not be selected. The comprehensive proposal must include firm profiles, project team qualifications, past project experience, and a detailed cost proposal with a not-to-exceed total cost specified by the bidding firms.

The procurement appears open to all qualified engineering firms without specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. The project will be primarily funded through local funding sources, specifically Act 51 funds, with a current construction budget of $360,000. The topographic survey must meet USGS Datum requirements using NAVD88 and extend 10 feet beyond current right-of-way lines. Deliverables will include PDF-formatted plans, culvert assessments, road condition evaluations, and potential recommendations for sidewalk additions within the road right-of-way. The City reserves the right to award design and construction engineering services to the same firm and expects the selected engineer to provide comprehensive recommendations on culvert capacity, road integrity, and potential infrastructure improvements. Bidders should be prepared to conduct thorough field verifications of property lines and right-of-way, with a detailed understanding of the project's technical and logistical requirements.
