Birch Road, Kalkaska, Michigan 49646, with funding from the Michigan Department of Transportation. The scope of work includes furnishing all labor, materials, equipment, and related services for the complete installation of new metal wall siding, removal of rotted wood and damaged materials, installation of metal fascia and soffit, replacement of five pressure-treated posts, and painting of twenty 6-inch diameter bollards and two metal louvers with DTM paint. The contract duration is 60 calendar days from the Notice-to-Proceed, with a base bid that includes a $5,000 allowance for specified materials and services and a $5,000 contingency allowance. A mandatory pre-bid conference and site tour was held on July 10, 2024, at 9:30 a.m. ET at the project site, with prospective bidders able to submit questions until July 12, 2024, at 2:00 p.m. ET. Electronic bids were due through the SIGMA VSS website by July 24, 2024, at 2:00 p.m. ET, with contract award anticipated by August 29, 2024. Bidders must provide a 5 percent bid guarantee, and performance and payment bonds are required for bids exceeding $50,000. All contractors and subcontractors must comply with prevailing wage requirements as established by the Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity, soil erosion and sedimentation control regulations, nondiscrimination provisions, and Michigan residency requirements for 50 percent of the workforce.

This procurement includes set-asides and restrictions requiring Michigan-based business certification for bids exceeding $100,000 and Qualified Disabled Veteran certification if applicable. Apparent low bidders must submit post-bid documentation within two business days of request, including an experience modification rating, proposed project superintendent information, and a list of at least three similar completed projects with references. Liquidated damages are assessed at $200 per calendar day for delays beyond substantial completion, and bids must remain valid for 60 calendar days after bid opening. The solicitation does not identify any incumbent vendors or current contractors in the available documentation. No specific award value or budget range is disclosed in the procurement documents; however, the project structure with bonding requirements over $50,000 and Michigan-based business certification for bids exceeding $100,000 suggests the contract value may fall within that range.
