472/15262. SMD Lakeland CF - Facility Monitoring System

This procurement involves the design and installation of a new Facility Monitoring System at the Lakeland Correctional Facility in Coldwater, Michigan, administered by the Michigan Department of Technology, Management and Budget on behalf of the Department of Corrections. The scope of work encompasses providing a complete SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) system, sensors, conduit, wire, desktop computers, and process control software, along with modifications to the existing generator control system. Bidders must engage three specific categories of pre-approved subcontractors: a Boiler Control Contractor to furnish and install sensors for the existing boiler system, a Security Network Contractor to expand and upgrade the facility network and connect to the existing Starnet II security system, and a pre-qualified Generator Controls Contractor to modify and upgrade generator controls. Qualified electrical contractors must demonstrate completion of at least three similar projects, while SCADA system suppliers and generator controls contractors must have completed at least ten similar projects. The mandatory pre-bid conference and facility walk-through occurred on June 19, 2018 at 10:00 AM at Building 71 Maintenance Building, with electronic bids due on July 3, 2018 at 2:00 PM local time; questions were accepted until June 21, 2018 at 5:00 PM. Substantial completion is required within 160 calendar days of the pre-construction meeting, with liquidated damages of $500 per calendar day assessed for delays beyond this deadline.

Contracts exceeding $100,000 require bidder compliance with Michigan Qualified Disabled Veteran (QDV) and Michigan-based business certifications. All contractor and vendor representatives must submit a completed LEIN (Law Enforcement Information Network) criminal background check request form five business days prior to the pre-bid meeting to gain facility access, and all contractor personnel require criminal background clearance before site access is granted. A five percent bid guarantee, performance bond, and payment bond (for bids exceeding $50,000) are required from all bidders, along with comprehensive insurance coverage including $1,000,000 commercial general liability, workers' compensation, and builder's risk insurance. The bidding documents specify acceptable manufacturers for certain components, such as Intellipower and Falcon Electric for control panels, and require process control software with a minimum one-year subscription. The project documents do not specify prevailing wage rate requirements, an incumbent contractor, or a defined budget range. All work must comply with Michigan construction codes, OSHA requirements, Department of Corrections security procedures, and applicable asbestos and lead paint abatement procedures.
