551 Woodward Ave. - Replace Basement Sewer Drain Lines - REBID

The City of Jackson, Michigan is seeking a contractor to replace basement sewer drain lines at 551 Woodward Avenue through a rebid procurement process. The project involves comprehensive plumbing system modifications, specifically addressing water backing up through the basement drain, with work concentrated between the kitchen drain and main sewer line. Key deliverables include cutting concrete floor, removing and replacing old drain lines, reinstalling a minimum 3-inch concrete floor cap, and restoring the infrastructure with specific requirements for dust containment and debris removal. Contractors must be actively licensed by the State of Michigan, registered with the City of Jackson, and comply with equal employment opportunity regulations. The Request for Proposal (RFP) was released on October 22, 2025, with a response deadline of November 5, 2025, at 9:00 am, and requires a lump sum bid that includes all labor, materials, fees, and permits. Bidders must provide comprehensive commercial general liability and automobile liability coverage, be registered on SAM.gov, and submit a certificate of insurance and builder's license.

The contract opportunity appears to have no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, though standard equal employment opportunity regulations apply. No incumbent vendors are identified in the documentation. Contractors must comply with various federal requirements, including those outlined in the CDBG Additional Forms document, which mandates affirmative steps for including small, minority, and women-owned businesses in contract opportunities. The project includes multiple bond requirements, including a Performance Bond, Labor and Material Payment Bond, and Maintenance and Guarantee Bond, which provide financial protections for the City of Jackson. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the project involves intricate plumbing repairs for a residential property, suggesting a localized infrastructure maintenance initiative. The City reserves the right to reject any bids and may award the contract to a non-lowest bidder if deemed in the city's interest, indicating flexibility in the procurement process.
