Preference is given to Qualified Disabled Veteran (QDV) businesses that meet specified ownership and service-connected disability criteria, and contractors must be Michigan-based businesses or demonstrate significant business presence within the state.

Award is anticipated by December 15, 2024, with the contract value not explicitly stated in the bid documents, though the $5,000 base bid allowance and the requirement for performance and payment bonds for contracts exceeding $50,000 suggest the total project cost is expected to exceed $50,000. The project is classified under NIGP codes 90976, 91200, and 91430, indicating athletic and recreation facility construction services, and bidders may submit QDV information as a separate attachment if applicable.
