The Michigan Department of Technology, Management and Budget (DTMB) is seeking a contractor for emergency repairs at the Caro Center, a state facility located in Caro, Michigan. The procurement involves comprehensive infrastructure improvements across multiple buildings, including Building 51 and Cottage 16, with specific work encompassing roof replacements, door and frame upgrades, concrete restoration, elevator repairs, mechanical system replacements, and water main infrastructure improvements. Key deliverables include reroofing existing buildings, replacing indoor air handlers and heat exchangers, repairing steam traps, upgrading campus water main services and hydrants, and completing comprehensive mechanical and electrical system modifications. The project requires a mandatory walk-through inspection that was previously held on March 9, 2018, at 10:00 AM, with electronic bids due by March 21, 2018, at 2:00 p.m. local time. Bidders must provide a 5% bid security and are required to submit bids through the SIGMA Michigan government website, with the architectural firm Straub Pettitt Yaste Architects serving as the project design consultant. Questions were accepted until March 15, 2018, at 12:00 Noon, and the total project must be completed within 240 calendar days from the pre-construction meeting date.

The contract appears to have no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, though there is a requirement that 50% of employees must be Michigan residents. The project falls under multiple NIGP codes (90976, 91013, 91036, 91066, 91355, 91360, 91430 & 91450), indicating a broad scope of work across mechanical, electrical, and civil infrastructure domains. A cash allowance of $50,000 is included in the base bid to address potential unforeseen conditions. Liquidated damages of $500 per calendar day will be assessed for delays beyond the completion date, with key interim milestones including mechanical and electrical work completion by September 15, 2018, and water main installation and site restoration by October 15, 2018. Performance and payment bonds are required for bids exceeding $50,000. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the repairs and the multiple buildings involved suggest a substantial project investment.
