472/17396. SMD St Louis CF - Razor Ribbon Bid Pack 3A

The Michigan Department of Technology, Management and Budget (DTMB) State Facilities Administration Design & Construction Division is seeking bids for a comprehensive razor ribbon security enhancement project across five correctional facilities: Bellamy Creek, Brooks, Ionia, Muskegon, and St. Louis Correctional Facilities. The project involves removing existing fencing, installing new fencing, and adding razor ribbon with detainer hook systems and 12" loop spacing at various heights and locations throughout the facility perimeters. Mandatory pre-bid conferences and site walk-throughs were held on April 23, 2018, at staggered times for each facility, with electronic bids due on May 9, 2018, at 2:00 PM local time. All bidders are required to submit a 5% bid security and complete a LEIN (Law Enforcement Information Network) Request form five business days prior to site visits. The project is engineered by Matrix Consulting Engineers, Inc. and has a specified project start date of June 18, 2018, with substantial completion required by November 15, 2018 (150 days total). Contractors must comply with prevailing wage requirements and provide detailed documentation for each facility.

There are no specific set-aside designations mentioned for disadvantaged enterprises in the documentation. Contractors must obtain LEIN clearance for all personnel working at the correctional facilities and will be evaluated based on their total bid for all five facilities, though each project site must be billed separately. Each facility has a $25,000 allowance included in addition to the base bid amount. Performance and payment bonds are required for all bids over $50,000, and Builder's Risk Insurance will not be provided by the state. The project is classified under multiple NIGP codes including 33010, 33013, 33055, 33065, 79020, 91240, 91430, and 98815, suggesting a broad range of potential contractors with security and construction expertise. While no specific incumbent vendors are listed, the bid documents indicate that the project involves modifying existing infrastructure, including gates, fences, and security camera mounting brackets. The total project budget is not explicitly stated, but the inclusion of five facilities and the comprehensive security enhancements suggest a significant investment in correctional facility security upgrades.
