511/24259. CAK; Camp Grayling - Mission Trng Sim Ctr

This state and local contracting opportunity is for professional design and construction administration services for the Camp Grayling Mission Training Simulation Center project in Crawford County, Michigan. The Michigan Department of Technology, Management and Budget (DTMB) is managing the procurement on behalf of the Department of Military and Veterans Affairs. The scope of services includes site adaptation of existing facility plans, addition of an auditorium, and compliance with state building codes across multiple design phases from study through construction administration. A mandatory remote pre-proposal conference will be held, but no site visit is required. Proposals must be submitted through the SIGMA VSS system by August 29, 2024 at 2:00 p.m. Eastern, with the desired schedule to have construction documents ready for bid in the 2025 building season. The evaluation will be based on the technical and cost proposals, with the contract awarded to the professional firm recommended by an Ad Hoc Advisory Committee.

The procurement does not appear to have any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The RFP indicates that the design phase services must be comprehensive and complete, and the professional will not be compensated for services related to design errors or omissions. While the incumbent vendor or current contractor is not specified, the project will need to integrate with existing infrastructure and technology at the Camp Grayling facility. The RFP provides guidance on the use of billable hourly rates and reimbursable expenses, but does not specify an award value or budget range.
