The State of Michigan, through the Department of Technology, Management and Budget (DTMB) State Facilities Administration Design and Construction Division on behalf of the Department of Military and Veterans Affairs (DMVA), is seeking competitive bids for annual maintenance services at Camp Grayling Joint Maneuver Training Center in Crawford County. This procurement encompasses integrated training area management (ITAM) work including site services, planting of annual rye across 20 North Camp firing point sites covering 111 acres, mulching of 12 North Camp mortar firing point sites covering 6 acres, removal of woody vegetation within line-of-sight of North Camp Tactical Observation Points covering 2 acres, and additional maintenance activities as needed. Contractors must possess State Project Registration from the Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity, maintain prevailing wage compliance under 2023 PA 10 and Davis-Bacon Act standards where applicable, and submit a 5% bid guarantee with all proposals. Performance and payment bonds are required for bids exceeding $50,000, with a one-year contract term commencing from the Notice-to-Proceed and liquidated damages of $2,000 per calendar day for delays beyond the substantial completion date. A mandatory pre-bid conference and site tour is scheduled for May 28, 2025 at 10:00 AM ET at the Camp Grayling Environmental Office, with questions accepted from prospective bidders until June 4, 2025 at 2:00 PM ET. All bids must be submitted electronically through the SIGMA VSS website by June 18, 2025 at 2:00 PM ET and will remain valid for 60 calendar days. The bid schedule includes a lump sum for site services and unit prices for the three primary work areas plus a $10,000 provisionary allowance for unforeseen conditions, with the Owner reserving the right to adjust unit price quantities by up to 50% without adjustment to unit prices.

Qualified Disabled Veteran (QDV) businesses receive a 10% preference in the evaluation process and may submit additional documentation including DD214 forms and proof of service-connected disability. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are specifically identified in the procurement documents. Bidders will be evaluated based on price and qualitative components, with potential selection of best value from the three lowest responsive and responsible bidders. All work must comply with Michigan construction codes, OSHA standards, comprehensive environmental requirements, and soil erosion and sedimentation control provisions, with the contractor responsible for all permits, insurance, bonding, and federal and state regulatory compliance. The bid documents specify that contractors must acknowledge receipt of all addenda, including Addendum 1 which incorporates revised specifications and forms related to asbestos abatement attestation and general conditions. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated in the available documents, the scope of work including site preparation, planting, mulching, and vegetation management across approximately 119 acres suggests a mid-to-large value contract, with the requirement for performance and payment bonds on bids exceeding $50,000 indicating anticipated project values in this range or higher.
