751/18246. GAG; Onaway SP - Historic Pavilion Replacement

The Michigan Department of Technology, Management & Budget (DTMB) and the Department of Natural Resources Parks and Recreation Division are seeking professional architectural and engineering services for the Historic Pavilion Replacement project at Onaway State Park in Presque Isle County. The procurement involves complete professional services for designing and constructing a new pavilion to replace a structure that burned down in 2012, with specific requirements including accommodating 75-100 people, incorporating ADA-compliant bathrooms, electric service, a concrete floor, architectural asphalt shingles, a fireplace, and well/septic systems. The project encompasses Phases 400 (Preliminary Design), 500 (Final Design and Bidding), and 600/700 (Construction Administration), with a proposed contract start date of December 1, 2018. A mandatory pre-proposal meeting is scheduled for October 15, 2018, at 1:00 p.m. at the Onaway State Park Headquarters Building, with questions due by October 18, 2018, at 5:00 p.m. Proposals are due on October 25, 2018, at 2:00 p.m. local time, and will be evaluated based on technical qualifications (80%) and cost (20%) by an Ad Hoc Advisory Committee. The successful professional must possess appropriate Michigan licensure and demonstrate experience with similar projects in compliance with local, state, and federal regulations.

While no specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly mentioned in the documentation, the RFP requires firms to submit Michigan Based Business and Responsibility Certification forms. The project requires maintaining the historic character of the original pavilion while incorporating modern amenities and accessibility standards. Reimbursable expenses include actual costs for printing, soil borings, surveys, laboratory testing, and travel over 100 miles one-way. Minimum reimbursement amounts are specified for key services: topographic survey ($2,500), wetland delineation ($2,500), DEQ permit application preparation ($1,000), and soil borings ($3,000). The sample proposal indicates a total contract amount of $12,167.50, broken down across five project phases. The successful consultant must maintain comprehensive project documentation, participate in required meetings, including a project kickoff/site assessment and a 50% concept plan review, and provide bi-weekly progress reports. The desired schedule requires final plans and budgetary cost estimates by June 2019, with the new pavilion to be located in the park's day-use area near Black Lake.
