472/17466. CDP Lakeland CF - Storm Water System

The Michigan Department of Technology, Management and Budget (DTMB) and Department of Corrections (MDOC) are seeking a Professional Services Contractor (PSC) for comprehensive sanitary sewer system improvements at the Lakeland Correctional Facility in Coldwater, Michigan. The procurement involves professional services across multiple project phases, including Phase 100 Study, Phase 400 Preliminary Design, Phase 500 Final Design, and Phases 600/700 Construction Administration. The primary objective is to upgrade the facility's 50-year-old sanitary sewer system, which currently uses a 10" force main running 1,700 feet to a treatment plant four miles away. Proposals will be evaluated based on an 80% technical proposal and 20% cost proposal scoring methodology. The mandatory pre-proposal meeting occurred on February 14, 2018, at 11:30 AM, with proposals due on March 1, 2018, at 2:00 PM EST. The PSC must demonstrate experience in similar infrastructure projects and comply with all federal, state, and local regulations. Deliverables will include comprehensive design documentation, construction plans, and administrative support throughout the project lifecycle.

The solicitation does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The project requires a comprehensive LEIN (Law Enforcement Information Network) background check for all contractor personnel seeking facility access, which involves submitting detailed personal identification information. Reimbursable expenses are capped with a 5% markup and include costs for surveying, soil/pavement boring, permitting/review fees, and construction testing. Travel expenses beyond 100 miles from the contractor's office will be reimbursed at State of Michigan rates. While a specific budget range is not disclosed, the procurement allows for an initial award potentially limited to Phase 100, with subsequent phases contingent upon MDOC review and approval. The project will utilize existing engineering drawings from 1970 and 2017 force main projects, indicating a need for contractors familiar with historical infrastructure documentation and modern engineering standards.
