2025 Pole Barn Construction

The City of Burton, located in Genesee County, Michigan, is soliciting sealed bids for a comprehensive 2025 Department of Public Works (DPW) Pole Barn Construction project. The procurement involves constructing a 40'W x 174'L x 20'H post beam steel pole barn with specific architectural and infrastructural requirements, including a 6" 3500 psi concrete slab, 4/12 pitch truss roof, 12 overhead doors with automatic openers, two 36" steel service doors, pier footings, and a complete insulation package for walls and ceiling. Sealed bids will be received at Burton City Hall by 10 a.m. local time on April 17, 2025, with bids to be publicly opened and read aloud immediately thereafter. Potential bidders can obtain contract documents from the City of Burton Department of Public Works or via email at J.Griffith@burtonmi.gov.

Contractors must be pre-qualified with the Michigan Department of Building Codes and provide comprehensive documentation demonstrating their qualifications, including past project performance, current workload, available equipment, and proposed subcontractors.

The procurement does not explicitly indicate specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Bidders are required to submit a proposal guarantee of at least 5% of the total base bid and must comply with equal employment opportunity requirements. The City reserves the right to waive informalities, reject any or all bids, and adjust work item quantities without changing unit prices.
