472/25081. GSA; Parnall CF- Heating/Ventilation Upgrade

The Michigan Department of Technology, Management and Budget (DTMB) is seeking professional engineering services for heating and ventilation upgrades at the Parnall Correctional Facility in Jackson, Michigan. The project, identified as file number 472/25081.GSA, involves comprehensive HVAC improvements across multiple buildings, including Housing Units A and B, Block 8, and the Dining Hall. Key deliverables include a Phase 100 Study to assess existing system conditions, electrical capacity, and proposed corrections, with specific focus on replacing boilers, domestic hot water systems, attic ventilation, and mechanical air handling units. Proposals must be submitted through SIGMA VSS by March 6, 2025, at 2:00 pm, with a mandatory pre-proposal walkthrough scheduled for February 19, 2025, at 10:00 am. The project requires LEIN background checks for all attendees and will be evaluated based on 80% technical qualifications and 20% cost. Professional Service Consultants must comply with federal, state, and local regulations including EPA, OSHA, DOT, DCH, EGLE, DNR, and MIOSHA standards, with the ultimate goal of completing all work before November 2025.

The contract will be awarded on a not-to-exceed, billable-rate basis, with reimbursable expenses limited to actual costs for printing, soil borings, surveys, and laboratory testing, marked up at no more than 5%. While no specific set-aside designations are explicitly mentioned, the project requires detailed professional qualifications and adherence to strict correctional facility standards. Travel expenses beyond 100 miles one-way will be reimbursed at state rates, and professionals must submit hourly billing rates based on 2024 expenses. The project involves significant mechanical systems upgrades, including detailed mechanical demolition and installation plans for housing units, with an emphasis on prisoner habitation areas. Although a specific budget range is not provided, the comprehensive nature of the HVAC upgrades across multiple buildings suggests a substantial investment. The Professional Service Consultant will be expected to coordinate energy-savings rebates with Consumers Energy and integrate new building control systems compatible with current and future equipment.
