2025 concrete sidewalk and roadway replacements

The City of Wixom in Oakland County, Michigan, is seeking a qualified contractor for the 2025 Concrete Sidewalk and Roadway Replacements project through a Request for Proposal (RFP) due on May 1, 2025, at 9 AM. The procurement involves comprehensive concrete infrastructure replacement services, specifically constructing portland cement concrete sidewalks and roadways within the municipality. Key project deliverables include removing existing sidewalks and roadways, grinding down tree roots where necessary, and performing site restoration with seed, topsoil, and straw. Sidewalk specifications require 4-inch depth with 6-inch depth in specific areas like driveways and crosswalks, while street replacements will be 8 inches deep. Contractors must complete work by June 30, 2025, and are required to obtain right-of-way and zoning permits, submit insurance documentation, and undergo pre-pour inspections by the Building Official or Department of Public Service. Evaluation criteria will likely include contractor qualifications, previous municipal project experience, submitted references, and detailed project approach.

While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are mentioned, the RFP emphasizes comprehensive contractor qualifications and extensive insurance requirements. Bidders must provide at least one municipal reference and demonstrate previous similar project experience. The project has a total budget not exceeding $280,000, with unit pricing requested for various replacement and restoration activities. Insurance requirements are rigorous, mandating worker's compensation, commercial general liability, and automobile liability coverage with the City of Wixom named as an additional insured. The municipality reserves the right to reject any or all bids and potentially award contracts to multiple contractors based on the most advantageous proposals. Interested contractors are encouraged to register with the Michigan Inter-Governmental Trade Network (MITN) to access complete bid specifications, and those not already registered as contractors must submit appropriate paperwork and fees.
