511/17092. JBB; Gladstone Armory - Renovate Armory Phase IV

The State of Michigan Department of Technology, Management and Budget (DTMB) and Department of Military and Veterans Affairs (DMVA) are procuring a single prime construction contract for Phase IV renovation of the Gladstone Armory located at 604 S. 18th Street, Gladstone, Michigan. The scope of work encompasses the complete construction of two building additions—a 3,500 square foot addition containing a concrete vault, physical fitness area, and supply storage, and a 1,500 square foot addition for office space—along with comprehensive interior renovations including restroom reconfiguration and fixture replacement, interior finishes, removal of existing mezzanine/storage space for conversion to classroom space, installation of new electrical service, and associated site work. The project requires all trades to perform work under a single contract structure, with deliverables including structural work with masonry loadbearing walls and steel joists with metal deck, mechanical HVAC systems with rooftop units and energy recovery ventilators, electrical systems including a new 600-ampere service and complete power distribution, plumbing systems with fixture replacement, fire alarm systems with addressable controls, and civil site work including drainage and concrete improvements. The mandatory prebid meeting and site walk-through was held on December 6, 2022, at 9:00 a.m., with electronic bids due on January 11, 2023, at 2:00 p.m. through the SIGMA VSS system. Contract performance requires substantial completion by February 17, 2024, and final completion by March 17, 2024, with liquidated damages assessed at $500 per calendar day for failure to meet either deadline. A five percent bid security is required, along with Performance Bond and Payment Bond for all bids exceeding $50,000, and comprehensive builders risk insurance. The project designer and contract point of contact is OHM Advisors, with Tracie Williams, PE available at 906-482-0535.

The project is subject to prevailing wage requirements under Davis-Bacon Act standards with wage rates ranging from $14.95 to $39.54 per hour plus fringe benefits, along with Executive Order requirements for minimum wage rates of either $15.00 per hour (Executive Order 14026) or $11.25 per hour (Executive Order 13658) depending on contract award dates. Michigan residency requirements mandate that 50 percent of the workforce must be Michigan residents, and the project requires compliance with nondiscrimination covenants and soil erosion and sedimentation control requirements under Michigan law. The bidding documents specify that there are no minority subcontractor or supplier set-aside requirements stated in the Federal Provisions, and no specific incumbent contractors are identified for this renovation phase. The contract documents note existing infrastructure requiring integration and protection, including existing electrical panels, rooftop HVAC units with existing roof warranty held by Independent Roofing, and utility coordination with Gladstone Light and Power and AT&T for service relocation. Three pre-approved HVAC system integrator contractors are identified for control system installation: Control Net (West Michigan office), JB Electric, and W.J. O'Neil, and electrical work on existing rooftop units will be coordinated with the independent roofing warranty holder. The base bid includes a $40,000 project scope allowance and $30,000 utility allowance (total $70,000), with an additional alternate bid line for three-phase electrical conversion work on an existing rooftop unit in the Assembly Hall, though the total project award value is not specified in the available procurement documents.
