472/25271. CTS; Saginaw CF - Warehouse Concrete Repair

The Michigan Department of Technology, Management and Budget (DTMB) is soliciting bids for a concrete repair project at the Saginaw Correctional Facility located in Freeland, Michigan. The project involves comprehensive warehouse concrete pavement replacement, including approximately 1,600 square yards of concrete removal and replacement, with 1,550 square yards of 8-inch heavy-duty concrete pavement and 60 square yards of 6-inch standard-duty concrete pavement. Specific deliverables include concrete pavement replacement, installation of safety rails, additional bollards, and associated site work. The project is divided into a base bid and an alternate bid (Add. Alt. #1) that includes three additional concrete expansion areas and four bollards. A mandatory pre-bid conference and site tour is scheduled for August 13, 2025, at 2:00 pm, with bid submissions due on August 20, 2025, at 2:00 pm Eastern time. Bidders must submit responses electronically through SIGMA VSS, provide a 5% bid guarantee, and comply with prevailing wage rates and state project registration requirements. The contract time is set at 60 calendar days, with a targeted completion date of November 7, 2025, and liquidated damages of $500 per calendar day for delays.

The procurement includes special provisions for Service Disabled Veteran Owned Businesses (SDVOB), offering a 10% pricing preference for businesses that are 51% or more owned by qualified service-disabled veterans. Businesses seeking this designation must provide documentation including proof of service, service-connected disability, and business ownership. The project has a provisional contingency allowance of $25,000 and will be funded through state facilities administration. Contractors must complete a Law Enforcement Information Network (LEIN) background check for personnel entering the secure correctional facility. The solicitation emphasizes compliance with various certification processes, including Qualified Disabled Veteran (QDV) business representation and Michigan-based business certification. While no specific incumbent vendors are mentioned, the project requires careful attention to the facility's secure environment, with a designated contractor staging area outside the facility's secure perimeter. The soils investigation report suggests potential pavement configurations and highlights the need for careful site preparation due to soil conditions susceptible to frost heave and seasonal wetness.
