The Michigan Department of Technology, Management and Budget (DTMB) is seeking bids for a comprehensive renovation project at the Women's Huron Valley Correctional Facility in Ypsilanti, focusing on upgrading the EM Room and Control Center. The project involves extensive modifications to the West Admin building, including demolition of existing areas, relocation of systems, and installation of new technology, electrical, and HVAC infrastructure. Key deliverables include modernizing the control center and monitoring room, upgrading power systems with a new 60KVA uninterruptible power supply (UPS), replacing HVAC equipment with variable refrigerant flow (VRF) systems, and implementing new audiovisual and security system capabilities. Mandatory project milestones include a pre-bid meeting on March 17, 2025, at 1:00 PM, with final bid submissions due on April 2, 2025, at 2:00 PM. Bidders must submit a 5% bid security and complete a Law Enforcement Information Network (LEIN) Request, demonstrating their ability to work within a secure correctional facility environment. The contract duration is set at 365 days from the notice to proceed, with liquidated damages of $500 per calendar day for delays. Evaluation criteria will consider both price and qualitative components, with an emphasis on technical capability and compliance with specialized correctional facility requirements.

The procurement appears open to qualified contractors, with no specific set-aside designations explicitly mentioned in the documentation. Contractors must comply with strict security protocols, including background checks and escort requirements specific to correctional facility work. New regulations under Public Act 59 of 2024 mandate additional requirements for asbestos abatement contractors, including background investigations and formal attestations. While a specific budget range is not directly stated, the project includes a $75,000 allowance for miscellaneous expenses and appears to be funded through the state's facilities management budget. Prevailing wage rates will apply, and contractors must submit certified payroll documentation. The project requires specialized expertise in correctional facility renovations, with specific attention to technology systems integration, electrical modifications, and HVAC upgrades. Existing infrastructure will require careful integration of new systems, including audiovisual equipment, security monitoring technologies, and electrical power distribution systems within the correctional facility's complex operational environment.
