Bidders must comply with the 2015 Michigan Building Code, provide a full-time competent superintendent on-site, maintain performance and payment bonds for bids exceeding $50,000, and submit post-bid documentation including Experience Modification Rating, project superintendent resume, three references of similar completed projects, and identified subcontractors within two business days of request. Contractors and all subcontractors must comply with Michigan Occupational Safety and Health Act requirements, prevailing wage rates for Sanilac County, and a mandatory 50 percent Michigan residency requirement for workers employed for at least one year, along with all applicable environmental and soil erosion sedimentation control regulations.

The procurement includes a 10 percent preference applied to qualified disabled veteran (QDV) businesses during bid evaluation, requiring submission of QDV Business Representation and Michigan-Based Business Certification for bids exceeding $100,000. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the procurement documents, and the project is funded entirely through the State of Michigan with no federal funds indicated.
