751/17267. BDW-Lexington Harbor BAS-Parking Area Improvements

The Michigan Department of Technology, Management and Budget (DTMB) State Facilities Administration is seeking bids for the Lexington Harbor Boat Access Site (BAS) Parking Area Improvements project in Sanilac County, Michigan. The procurement, identified by File No. 751/17267.BDW, involves comprehensive site improvements including pavement reconstruction, storm drainage installation, new concrete walkways, site lighting replacement, and partial gabion wall reconstruction. Project deliverables include reconstructing the parking area with an overflow gravel lot containing 12 spaces, installing new LED lighting fixtures, constructing a new pit toilet, and performing landscape restoration with hydroseeding. The project offers a base bid with an optional Bid Alternate 1 for a dock extension. The bid opening was scheduled for February 17, 2021, with an anticipated project start in late Spring 2021 and a 90-calendar-day completion timeline. A mandatory online pre-bid meeting was held on February 8, 2021, via Microsoft Teams, with electronic bid submissions required through the SIGMA VSS website. The project includes a $40,000 Provisional Allowance for potential scope additions or unforeseen circumstances.

The contract does not specify specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Contractors are required to carry comprehensive insurance, including commercial general liability ($1M per occurrence), vehicle liability, workers compensation, and pollution liability ($1M per occurrence). The project requires contractors to handle all construction layout, permit acquisitions (including LARA for plumbing/electrical and DTMB SESC control), and site security measures. While no incumbent vendors are mentioned, the project involves integrating new infrastructure with the existing Lexington Harbor Boat Access Site. The Professional Service Contractor (PSC) for the project is Steve Sutton, P.E. of NFE Engineers in Pontiac, MI. Performance and payment bonds are mandatory for bids exceeding $50,000, with liquidated damages of $1,000 per calendar day for project delays. Though a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the inclusion of a $40,000 allowance suggests a project value likely in the range of $200,000 to $500,000.
