The Michigan Department of Technology, Management and Budget (DTMB), in coordination with the Department of Military and Veterans Affairs, is issuing a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for Construction Management services for the Selfridge Air National Guard Base Runway Encroachment Solution airfield improvements project located in Harrison Township, Michigan. The procurement seeks qualified Construction Management firms to provide comprehensive preconstruction and construction management services for a multi-phase airfield project with an estimated total construction budget of $140,940,000, encompassing the Runway Encroachment Solution project ($95,700,000), Taxiway A Extension ($24,360,000), and Taxiway B Extension ($20,880,000). Key project deliverables include construction of approximately 1,100 linear feet of hardened overrun with 200 feet of blast pad, runway threshold and lighting replacement, realignment of approach lighting and navigational aids, relocation of the north perimeter road and fencing, extension of both Taxiway A and Taxiway B north to the new overrun, and associated pavement, lighting, signage, and markings. Responding firms must demonstrate substantial experience through at least three comparable projects valued at $50,000,000 or more completed within the past ten years and must provide detailed organizational charts, resumes for key personnel (project manager, superintendent, and preconstruction lead), consultant information, and responses addressing cost control methods, schedule development procedures, quality control processes, Civil Information Modeling capabilities with 2024 AutoCAD Civil 3D, project management software systems, and any special innovations or value-added services. The selection process involves evaluation of qualification responses by the project team, followed by invitation of selected firms to submit technical proposals and participate in interviews as necessary. Qualified firms must submit responses electronically through the State of Michigan Procurement System (SIGMA VSS) by June 4, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time; inquiries regarding the RFQ must be submitted in writing to Josiah L. Meyers (meyersj11@michigan.gov) no later than May 21, 2026, with written responses posted via addenda by May 28, 2026. Construction is anticipated to begin in October 2026 with substantial completion targeted for December 2029, and the project will be conducted on an active military airfield requiring detailed coordination and compliance with security protocols.

The RFQ documents do not specify set-aside designations or restrictions limiting the types of organizations that can respond to this procurement, nor do they identify disadvantaged enterprise requirements or incumbent vendors. The selected Construction Manager must competitively bid all construction work through trade contractor bid packages rather than self-performing work or acting as a general contractor, and staff members involved with the CM team are prohibited from bidding on any trade contractor packages to preserve competitive integrity; additionally, related parties of the selected CM firm may only bid on trade packages with prior owner notification and approval and procedures ensuring an unbiased competitive bidding environment. No existing infrastructure or specific technology integration requirements beyond Civil Information Modeling capabilities with 2024 AutoCAD Civil 3D are specified in the procurement documents. The design professional for the project is Mead & Hunt, Inc., located in Middleton, Wisconsin. Prospective firms should submit all RFQ attachments through the SIGMA VSS portal at https://sigma.michigan.gov/PRDVSS1X1/Advantage4, with individual files limited to 25 megabytes, and contact the SIGMA Help Desk at 888-734-9749 or via email at sigma-procurement-helpdesk@michigan.gov or sigma-vendor@michigan.gov for submission assistance.
