511/26117. AGY; GAAF - Construct Roads/ Parking Lots

The State of Michigan Department of Technology, Management and Budget (DTMB), in coordination with the Department of Military and Veterans Affairs (DMVA), is procuring construction services for perimeter roads and parking lots at Grayling Army Airfield (GAAF) in Clinton County, Michigan. The project, identified as 2651524024, requires comprehensive site construction including asphalt and concrete paving, drainage systems, electrical distribution infrastructure (medium voltage transformers, switchboards, and lighting systems), fiber optic communications cabling, chain-link security fencing with gates, utility trenches, grading, erosion and sediment control, and turf establishment. Deliverables include approximately 10,041 to 14,522 square yards of asphalt pavement (depending on selected alternates), 13,979 square yards of gravel surfaces, 8,071 square yards of grass restoration, 1,492 linear feet of guardrail, seven exterior lighting fixtures with poles, five signs, twenty square yards of concrete, 1,431 feet of silt fence, and security infrastructure across a 9.1-acre disturbance area. The mandatory pre-bid conference and site tour occurred on April 15, 2026 at 10:00 AM at Building 1135, McNamara Road, with attendance required for bid acceptance. The project advertisement period ran from April 8 through April 29, 2026, with sealed electronic bids due April 29, 2026 at 2:00 PM Eastern time through the SIGMA VSS portal. Questions from prospective bidders were due by April 22, 2026 at 10:00 AM to project manager Adam Pohl. Contract completion is required within 270 calendar days from the Notice-to-Proceed, with liquidated damages assessed at $500 per calendar day for failure to achieve substantial completion. Contractors must comply with Federal Davis-Bacon Act prevailing wage requirements, Michigan soil erosion and sedimentation control regulations, and special working conditions limited to 7:45 AM to 4:30 PM Monday through Friday, with a full-time superintendent or project manager required on-site.

Qualified Disabled Veteran-Owned Businesses (SDVOBs) meeting Michigan's certification requirements receive a ten percent pricing preference in bid evaluation; to claim this preference, bidders must submit proof of service and discharge status (DD214 or equivalent), proof of service-connected disability (DD214 or VA Rating Decision Letter), and proof of at least 51 percent business ownership by veterans with service-connected disabilities. All contracts exceeding $50,000 require performance and payment bonds, with bid security of five percent of the base bid mandatory for all submissions. The project includes a $100,000 provisionary contingency allowance and requires contractor compliance with the Build America, Buy America Act (BABAA) certification, mandating that all iron, steel, and manufactured products contain domestic sourcing or meet specified content percentages. Contractors must submit a construction waste management plan targeting salvage or recycling of sixty percent by weight of non-hazardous solid waste and adhere to soil erosion and sedimentation control permitting requirements through the Department of Military and Veterans Affairs CFMO-Environmental Section. The project location on federal property at Camp Grayling Training Center subjects the work to additional federal compliance provisions, and contractors must acknowledge receipt of two addenda (issued April 22, 2026) addressing pavement quantities, electrical system modifications, and signage specifications. Specific budget or award values are not disclosed in the procurement documentation; the responsive and responsible lowest bidder will be selected for award, or a qualified SDVOB bidder may receive preference consideration if meeting all contract requirements.
