711 Third St - Repair Drain, Waste, and Vent System - REBID

The City of Jackson Community Development Department is seeking competitive, sealed bids for a housing rehabilitation project located at 711 Third Street, specifically a rebid for repairing the drain, waste, and vent system. The scope of work involves removing and replacing the drain line from the upstairs bathtub and sink, including the toilet and main line to the basement, with specific attention to the existing cast-iron T. Contractors must be actively licensed by the State of Michigan, registered with the City of Jackson, and possess necessary tools, transportation, and communication technologies. Key qualifications include having a SAM.gov Unique Identity Number, valid Builder's License, and Certificate of Insurance. The bid is a lump sum contract with a response deadline of May 22, 2025, at 9:00 am. Evaluation criteria include compliance with licensing requirements, insurance provisions, and the ability to complete the work within the specified timeframe. Contractors must provide an 18-month warranty on work and materials and comply with equal employment opportunity regulations.

The project is funded through Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) resources, which includes specific provisions for minority and women's business enterprise participation. The contract includes mandatory requirements for contractors to take affirmative steps to include small, minority, and women-owned businesses in the solicitation process. Additional federal requirements mandate employment opportunities for low-income individuals and compliance with various labor regulations, including the Copeland "Anti-Kickback" Act, Davis-Bacon Act, and Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act. While no specific incumbent vendors are mentioned, the city reserves the right to reject any bid and may award the contract to a non-lowest bidder if deemed in the city's best interest. The project involves multiple jurisdictions, including Kalamazoo County and Huntington Woods City, though the primary procurement is through the City of Jackson. Though a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the project is part of a community development program focused on housing rehabilitation for program-qualified homeowners.
