The State of Michigan, specifically the Department of Technology, Management and Budget (DTMB) State Facilities Administration, is seeking bids for a perimeter repair and replacement project at the Alger Correctional Facility located in Munising, Alger County. The procurement involves comprehensive security fencing enhancements, including the installation of razor mesh panels, NATO barrier reinforced concertina wire, detainer-hook razor ribbon, and truck gate repairs. The project requires contractors to perform detailed security infrastructure upgrades across multiple facility perimeter sections, with specific technical specifications for installation techniques involving stainless steel tie wires, tension bands, and various razor wire configurations. A mandatory pre-bid conference was held on February 5, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. ET, with a subsequent site tour, and all potential bidders were required to submit LEIN (Law Enforcement Information Network) clearance requests five business days prior to the meeting. Bids are due on February 19, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. ET through the SIGMA VSS website, with a required 5% bid security payable to the State of Michigan. Contractors must comply with soil erosion control, prevailing wage requirements, and submit performance and payment bonds.

The contract opportunity does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Bidders must submit proposals through SIGMA VSS with a maximum of two attachments under 6MB, one containing bid documents and another for Qualified Disabled Veteran information if applicable. The project falls under multiple NIGP codes (90924, 90976, 91216, 91240, 91244, 90783, 91275, 91430, 98815), indicating a broad scope of security and construction-related services.
