The project does not appear to have specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. Contractors must carry specified insurance, including commercial general liability with a $1,000,000 per occurrence limit, vehicle liability, and worker's compensation coverage. Performance and payment bonds are required for bids over $50,000, and prevailing wage rates apply to the project. The project is classified under NIGP codes 82012 and 91036, and bids can be submitted to DNR Procurement Services at Constitution Hall in Lansing, MI. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the project involves significant infrastructure upgrades that would likely require a substantial investment in mechanical and HVAC systems. Bidders should demonstrate technical capability to perform complex mechanical installations and have experience with government facility upgrades.
