472/19532. RLO; Oaks CF ADA Egress Ramps and Infrastructure

The Michigan Department of Technology, Management and Budget (DTMB) and Department of Corrections are seeking bids for the Oaks Correctional Facility ADA Egress Ramps and Infrastructure project located in Manistee, Michigan. The procurement involves installing ADA-compliant egress ramps, new control fences, sidewalks, storm drainage systems, and associated infrastructure improvements at three housing units (Units 1, 4, and 7). Specific deliverables include constructing concrete ramps with a maximum 7.5% slope, installing new control fences with razor ribbon, replacing exit doors, modifying electrical and security systems, and implementing comprehensive storm drainage infrastructure. The project requires careful coordination with facility operations, maintaining emergency exit paths, and integrating with existing building systems. A mandatory pre-bid site walk-through is scheduled for July 31, 2025, at 1:00 p.m., with bid responses due on August 13, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. Eastern time. Bidders must upload proposals to SIGMA VSS and provide a 5% bid security, with all questions to be submitted to Richard Mann by August 6, 2025, at 2:00 p.m.

The contract includes provisions for Service Disabled Veteran Owned Businesses (SDVOB), offering a 10% pricing preference for businesses at least 51% owned by qualified service-disabled veterans. Contractors must provide proof of State Project Registration from the Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity and submit a Law Enforcement Information Network (LEIN) Check request five business days prior to the pre-bid meeting. The project has two significant allowances: a $25,000 contingency allowance and a $125,000 hydro-excavation and sand backfill allowance. Working hours are flexible, accommodating various shift configurations, and the facility will provide two escorts during construction. The total project timeline is 180 calendar days, with the current facility housing 247 individuals, including 192 inmates. While specific budget details are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the infrastructure improvements suggests a substantial investment in facility modernization and ADA compliance.
