The Michigan Department of Technology, Management and Budget (DTMB) and Michigan Department of Corrections (MDOC) are seeking qualified contractors for shower renovations at the Alger Correctional Facility in Munising, Michigan. The project involves installing new stainless-steel showers, tile flooring, wall panels, security ceilings, light fixtures, and exhaust grilles in Housing Units Birch, Spruce, Maple, and Pine. A mandatory pre-bid conference and site walk-through is scheduled for April 2, 2025, at 2:00 pm ET, with electronic bids due on April 16, 2025, at 2:00 pm ET through the SIGMA VSS website. Contractors must submit a 5% bid security, provide LEIN clearance requests, and comply with prevailing wage rates and Michigan-based business preferences. The base bid has a substantial completion timeline of 365 days after notice to proceed, with specific working constraints including Monday-Friday hours from 8:00am to 4:00pm and limitations on simultaneous shower replacements within the correctional facility. Bidders must demonstrate the ability to work within an active correctional environment, with facility-provided escorts and strict access control.

The contract opportunity does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, though it does emphasize Michigan-based business preferences. Contractors must submit State Project Registrations (SPRs) for both the primary contractor and all subcontractors, with an annual registration fee of $500. While a specific contract value is not directly stated, the project includes a $25,000 provisional allowance and potential alternate work for additional housing units. The project requires comprehensive compliance with state and federal regulations, including non-discrimination policies and detailed qualification submittals. Contractors must be prepared to work under complex correctional facility conditions, with restrictions on access, material handling, and operational continuity. The renovation involves phased work across multiple housing units, requiring precise coordination and minimal disruption to the facility's daily operations. Successful bidders will need to demonstrate technical expertise in correctional facility renovations, particularly in shower and infrastructure systems.
