472/16382. TAP Kinross CF - Roof Replacements

The Michigan Department of Technology, Management and Budget (DTMB) and Department of Corrections are soliciting bids for a comprehensive roof replacement project at the Kinross Correctional Facility located in Kincheloe, Michigan. The project involves replacing metal roofs on five facility buildings, including the Administration Building, Education Building, and Housing Units A-B, C-D, and E-F, with associated work including sheathing, truss bracing, and plumbing vent relocation. A mandatory pre-bid walk-through was held on June 14, 2019, requiring all potential bidders to submit a Law Enforcement Information Network (LEIN) check five business days prior to the meeting. Electronic bids are due on June 26, 2019, at 2:00 p.m. local time, with a contract completion date of October 15, 2020, and a work suspension period from November 14, 2019, to May 14, 2020. Bidders must provide 5% bid security and submit detailed qualifications, with the project requiring compliance with Michigan business preferences, nondiscrimination policies, and specific construction standards. The project specifications include 20-year warranties for materials and workmanship, and mandate the use of specific metal roof panel manufacturers.

The contract opportunity includes provisions for disabled veteran business preferences, potentially offering a 10% deduction from the lowest responsive bid for qualified disabled veteran-owned businesses. Bidders must ensure that 50% of workers are Michigan residents and comply with various state requirements. While a specific budget is not explicitly stated, the project involves significant infrastructure improvements at a state correctional facility. No incumbent vendors are mentioned in the documentation. The project requires careful coordination with correctional facility operations, including strict security protocols evidenced by the mandatory LEIN background checks for all representatives. Potential bidders must demonstrate technical expertise in correctional facility roof replacement, ability to work within a secured environment, and compliance with complex state procurement regulations. The project is funded through the state's facilities administration and involves multiple technical specifications for roof panel installations, structural modifications, and facility-specific construction requirements.
