751/14403. MNB; Pointe Mouillee SGA - Pump Replacement

The State of Michigan, through the Department of Technology, Management and Budget (DTMB) in coordination with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, is procuring construction services for a pump replacement project at the Pointe Mouillee State Game Area located at 37205 Mouillee Road, Rockwood, Michigan, serving Macomb County and St. Charles Village. The scope of work encompasses the removal of existing pump and equipment, concrete demolition and construction, and installation of two 13,000 gallon per minute vertical axial flow centrifugal pumps with associated electrical systems, infrastructure modifications, and comprehensive soil erosion and sedimentation control measures. The project also includes construction of new division walls and platforms, refurbishment of existing sluice gates, installation of bar screen assemblies and canal gates, and construction of precast concrete headwall assemblies at six outflow locations. The contract duration is 395 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed to final completion, with liquidated damages assessed at $500.00 per calendar day for delays beyond substantial completion. Qualified bidders must attend a mandatory pre-bid walkthrough and inspection scheduled for September 27, 2021 at 1:00 PM at the project site, submit questions by September 30, 2021 at 5:00 PM, and submit electronic bids through the SIGMA VSS portal by October 13, 2021 at 2:00 PM. Required qualifications include compliance with prevailing wage rates, Michigan residency requirements (50 percent of workforce), comprehensive insurance coverage with Commercial General Liability minimum of $1,000,000, and Michigan business certification for bids exceeding $100,000. A 5 percent bid guarantee and performance and payment bonds are mandatory for all bids exceeding $50,000. The Principal Service Contractor for the project is DLZ Michigan, Inc., with Mark Mattson, P.E. as the primary contact.

The procurement includes set-aside requirements mandating 50 percent Michigan resident workforce participation on all contract work. Bidders must submit a Base Bid along with separate pricing for identified alternates and acknowledge receipt of Addendum No. 1 on the bid form or face disqualification. The successful contractor is responsible for obtaining the Soil Erosion and Sedimentation Control permit at no charge from DTMB and providing documentation to the designated project representative. Existing utility infrastructure remains in place, including a 150 kilovolt-ampere 13.2 kilovolt to 480-volt three-phase transformer and underground service lines that must be protected during construction, with the contractor responsible for repair costs if damaged. The project is subject to extensive environmental permits and conditions, including a Water Resources Protection Permit issued by the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) with a five-year authorization window through August 16, 2026, and compliance with Michigan Building Code, National Electrical Code 2014 Edition, and ASCE standards for flood-resistant design. No specific award values or budget ranges are provided in the procurement documents; however, the scope of work involving specialized pump equipment, electrical systems, concrete construction, and environmental compliance measures across approximately 0.42 acres with 395 days of labor and materials suggests a substantial project valuation appropriate for experienced contractors with demonstrated capacity in water infrastructure and heavy equipment installation.
