This is a fixed-price construction contract requiring all labor, equipment, materials, and related work necessary to demolish existing vertical firetube boilers and install new boiler systems with associated piping, venting, electrical, and control modifications. The specific deliverables include installation of Aldrich Boiler AVW135 units (30 H.P., 1,200 MBH input) in Buildings 406Q and 426Q with tankless coil heat exchangers, installation of a Lochinvar AWH0500NPM water heater (500 MBH input) in Building 638Q, disconnection and removal of temporary domestic boilers with complete breeching removal and roof patching, installation of emergency stops (Kele ESM-M1S-PKO-BS model) in Buildings 406Q and 426Q, integration with the existing Building Management System using LONWorks technology with direct digital control points, and compliance with all federal, state, and local regulations including MIOSHA and the Davis-Bacon Act prevailing wage requirements. Bidders must attend a mandatory pre-bid conference and facility tour on April 17, 2024, at 10:30 a.m. ET at Building 30, Howe Road, Camp Grayling Annual Training Site, and submit electronic bids through the SIGMA VSS website by 2:00 p.m. ET on May 1, 2024, with bids remaining open for acceptance for 60 calendar days following bid opening. The contract time for completion is 120 calendar days from the Notice-to-Proceed, with liquidated damages assessed at $200 per calendar day for delays; questions regarding bidding documents must be submitted by April 24, 2024, at 10:00 a.m. ET to Brian Bushnell at bushnellb1@michigan.gov. Qualified bidders must possess ability to maintain a dedicated project superintendent on-site during all work hours, comply with special Camp Grayling working conditions including access control procedures and standard working hours of 7:45 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., provide lead and asbestos surveys for all three buildings, and certify compliance with Michigan business requirements, including submission of a Certification of Michigan Based Business for bids exceeding $100,000.

The procurement requires a bid guarantee in the form of a certified check, cashier's check, or bid bond equal to five percent of the base bid price, and performance and payment bonds are mandated for all contracts exceeding $50,000. The base bid shall include a lump sum allowance of $20,000 with a contingency allowance of $20,000, with all bonding and insurance on these allowance values included in the base bid price; the owner reserves the right to reject any or all bids, waive irregularities, issue post-bid addenda, re-bid, or withhold award for any reason. No specific set-aside designations or restrictions limiting types of organizations are detailed in the procurement documents; however, the contract is subject to prevailing wage requirements under the Davis-Bacon Act, indicating potential federal funding involvement. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the available documentation. The existing boilers, water storage tanks, pumps, and expansion tanks will remain as owner property, and the contractor must furnish all Building Management System database backups, programming files, source code, and software access upon project completion. No specific contract award value or budget range is disclosed in the procurement documents; however, the base bid structure with $20,000 lump sum and $20,000 contingency allowance and the requirement for performance bonds on contracts exceeding $50,000 suggests the total project value will likely exceed $50,000.
