751/17301. BDW Presque Isle - Fuel Tank Replace

The Michigan Department of Technology, Management & Budget (DTMB) and Department of Natural Resources (DNR) are seeking professional design services for replacing underground fuel storage tanks at the Presque Isle State Harbor of Refuge located at 5462 E Grand Lake Road in Presque Isle County. The project specifically involves reviewing and potentially relocating two existing underground fuel tanks: a non-functioning 15,000-gallon unleaded fuel tank and a functioning 10,000-gallon diesel fuel tank. Professional services are required to develop comprehensive planning, permitting, design, and contract documents for tank replacement, including creating a comparative analysis of bermed bulk fuel tanks versus above-ground options. A mandatory pre-proposal meeting was held on May 25, 2018, at the MDNR Gaylord Customer Service Center, with proposals due on June 7, 2018, at 2:00 pm EST. The evaluation criteria will be 80% technical qualifications and 20% cost, with bidders required to submit detailed hourly rates, estimated hours by project phase, and overhead cost calculations. The project timeline indicates design work through July 2018 with construction planned for Fall 2018.

The procurement requires compliance with federal (EPA, OSHA, DOT), state (DCH, DEQ, DNR, MIOSHA), and local regulations for above or underground storage tank installations. While no specific set-aside designations were mentioned, bidders must submit signed certifications regarding Michigan-based business status and responsibility disclosures. Billable hourly rates range from $35-$116 per hour based on position classification, with reimbursable expenses limited to specific categories like printing, soil borings, surveys, lab testing, and travel over 100 miles. The project will be funded through Waterways Funds appropriated in Public Act 268 of 2016 for improvements at Presque Isle State Harbor. Bidders must submit five hard copies and two electronic copies of their proposals, with award recommendations expected within 30 days of submission. Reference materials including original bulk fuel tank documents, harbor design plans, and facility fuel consumption records will be available to the successful contractor after award.
