The State of Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT), through the Department of Technology, Management and Budget, is soliciting competitive bids for the construction of two new 22' x 138' lean-to structures attached to an existing 72' x 138' salt storage building at the MDOT South Haven Garage located at 09235 Blue Star Memorial Highway in South Haven, Michigan. The procurement encompasses furnishing all labor, materials, equipment, and related services for complete installation, with specific deliverables including concrete footing and pier installation, wood framing and rough carpentry, prefabricated wood roof trusses, fiberglass asphalt roof shingles, painting and staining, electrical systems with LED lighting and receptacles, and joint sealants. Bidders must comply with prevailing wage rates for Van Buren County across various trade classifications including carpenters, electricians, laborers, ironworkers, and operating engineers, and must adhere to Michigan construction codes and environmental protection standards. A mandatory pre-bid site inspection was held on Friday, May 11, 2018, at 10:30 AM, with electronic bids due on Wednesday, May 23, 2018, at 2:00 PM. The contract allows ninety (90) calendar days from the Notice-to-Proceed for project completion, with liquidated damages assessed at $500 per calendar day for delays. Performance and payment bonds are required for all bids exceeding $50,000, and bid security of five percent (5%) of the Base Bid must be submitted in the form of a certified or cashier's check or bid bond. Questions from potential bidders must be submitted no later than seven days prior to bid opening.

No set-asides are designated for small businesses or disadvantaged contractors; however, qualified disabled veteran (QDV) bidders receive a ten percent (10) preference in the evaluation process. Michigan-based business certification is required for bids exceeding $100,000. The project includes a base bid with provisions for three (3) alternates and a $10,000 miscellaneous contingency allowance, though the specific award value or total budget range is not explicitly stated in the solicitation documents. An addendum issued on May 14, 2018, clarifies that all existing on-site building materials become the property of the contractor and must be removed from the MDOT site in a timely manner, with all associated removal and disposal costs to be included in the contractor's bid price.
