472/17434. TAP Chippewa CF - Various Roof Repair / Replace

The Michigan Department of Technology, Management & Budget (DTMB) State Facilities Administration is seeking professional architectural and engineering services for a roof repair and replacement project at the Chippewa Correctional Facility in Kincheloe, Michigan. The procurement focuses on replacing roofs for the West Admin Building and West Food Service Building, involving final design, construction administration office services, and field services. Specific deliverables include replacing aged roofs with standing seam metal roofing, addressing leaking valleys, replacing sheathing, adding attic bracing, installing roof gutters and downspouts, and protecting roof penetrations. The project requires maintaining facility operational status throughout construction, as the buildings are within a secure perimeter. Proposals will be evaluated based on technical qualifications (80%) and cost (20%) by an Ad Hoc Advisory Committee. A mandatory pre-proposal meeting was held on April 26, 2018, at 10:00 a.m., with written questions due by April 19, 2018, and proposals due May 10, 2018, at 2:00 p.m. local time. Bidders must submit both electronic copies through SIGMA VSS and four hard copies plus two electronic copies to the issuing office.

The contract opportunity does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Vendors must complete a LEIN (Law Enforcement Information Network) request form for background checks to enter the correctional facility, which requires personal identification and authorization for criminal history verification. Professionals must submit certifications regarding Michigan-based business status and responsibility disclosures. The available budget for design and construction is approximately $600,000, with a $500 permitting allowance. Cost estimates include $298,000 for Admin Building roof replacement, $99,200 for restoration, $221,400 for Food Service Building roof replacement, and $73,800 for restoration. An alternate EPDM roof system is also specified, with costs of $198,000 for the Admin Building and $147,600 for the Food Service Building. The project timeline aims for construction in Fall 2018, with a latest potential bidding for 2019 construction.
