The scope of work includes structural steel columns and trusses, prefabricated metal walls and roofing, concrete foundations and floor slabs, mechanical systems (four 125 MBH gas-fired unit heaters, comprehensive HVAC and plumbing systems), electrical infrastructure (112.5 KVA transformer with 208Y/120V secondary service and extensive site lighting), site improvements (asphalt and concrete paving, chain-link fencing with barbed wire, a 50-foot heavy-duty cantilever slide gate, and landscaping), utility installations (water, sanitary sewer, drainage systems, 1,200-gallon septic tank with drainfield, and oil/grit interceptors), and civil infrastructure development across approximately 3.75 disturbed acres. Bidders must comply with prevailing wage requirements including Davis-Bacon wage rates, register with the Federal System for Award Management (SAM) and obtain a Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) prior to contract execution, demonstrate COVID-19 vaccination status or obtain approved exemptions, and meet all compliance requirements under applicable federal, state, and local building codes. A mandatory pre-bid conference and site tour is scheduled for October 16, 2023, at 11:00 a.m. Local Time at 2450 W. North Down River Road, Grayling, Michigan, with a simultaneous remote option via Microsoft Teams; questions must be submitted by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on October 19, 2023, to Tim Miller at tmiller@sidockgroup.com.

The project is partially funded with Federal State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (SLFRF), subjecting all contractors and subcontractors to equal employment opportunity and nondiscrimination requirements, soil erosion and sedimentation control regulations, and hazardous materials handling compliance. No specific set-asides for disadvantaged or minority-owned enterprises are identified in the procurement documents; however, prevailing wage requirements and federal compliance provisions apply universally to all bidders. The contract time is specified as 365 calendar days for substantial completion, with liquidated damages assessed at $1,000 per calendar day for failure to meet completion deadlines, and bids shall remain valid for 90 calendar days after the bid opening date. The base bid includes a $200,000 contingency allowance, with five deductive alternates addressing site amenities including turf restoration, asphalt paving, gravel parking areas, drive area paving, and elimination of the exterior wash rack, allowing for potential cost adjustments based on final scope determinations. While specific award values are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the project scope—including structural construction, mechanical and electrical systems, site development, and civil infrastructure—indicates a substantial capital construction contract likely valued in the multi-million-dollar range. The contract documents include comprehensive architectural, mechanical, plumbing, electrical, structural, and civil engineering specifications prepared by Sidock Group, Inc., with all contractors required to submit detailed shop drawings and coordinate third-party inspections and testing prior to construction execution.
