The Michigan Department of Technology, Management and Budget (DTMB) is seeking professional architectural and engineering services for a roof replacement project at the MDOT Coldwater Welcome Center located on I-69 Northbound in Barry County. The procurement involves comprehensive professional services across multiple project phases, including study, design, and construction administration for addressing persistent water leaks in the existing standing-seam metal roof. Key deliverables include a detailed roof system study, identification of leak sources, development of repair or replacement solutions that maintain the existing blue color theme, and creation of pedestrian control and staging plans. The proposal is due on October 9, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. EST, with a mandatory pre-proposal walk-through meeting scheduled for September 24, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. at the Coldwater Welcome Center. Evaluation will be conducted by an Ad Hoc Advisory Committee, with 80% weight on the Technical Proposal and 20% on the Cost Proposal. The desired project timeline includes contract award in November 2025, design from December 2025 to March 2026, bidding and award in April-May 2026, and construction from July to October 2026.

The solicitation does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Proposing firms must complete a Certification of a Michigan Based Business form and a Responsibility Certification, demonstrating compliance with state requirements. The compensation structure is based on billable hourly rates with a not-to-exceed fee approach, allowing a moderate mark-up of up to 5% for services not performed in-house. Reimbursable expenses include printing, reproduction, soil borings, surveys, and laboratory testing. While a specific budget range is not provided, the total contract amount will be determined by combining professional fees across different project phases, including sub-consultant fees and reimbursable expenses. Firms are required to submit a single electronic attachment through SIGMA VSS, with all testing requirements and associated costs itemized in the proposal. The project may require coordination with another contractor planning an HVAC project at the same location, suggesting potential complexity in project management and integration.
