The State of Michigan Department of Technology, Management and Budget (DTMB) is procuring construction services for the Au Gres River Mouth Boating Access Site Pavement Rehabilitation project (File No. 751/19151.BDW) located in Au Gres, Michigan, in Arenac County. This construction project involves comprehensive pavement rehabilitation including pulverizing and removal of existing concrete and bituminous pavement surfaces across approximately 4.90 acres, site grading and preparation, installation of 126,500 square feet of new MDOT bituminous mix asphalt in base and surface courses for boat trailer parking areas, ADA-accessible parking improvements with associated signage and pavement markings, culvert construction, storm sewer infrastructure installation, and implementation of soil erosion and sedimentation control measures in accordance with Michigan regulations. Deliverables include complete site restoration with topsoil placement, seeding, and mulching, utility coordination with AT&T, Consumers Energy, and Charter Communications, and all work must comply with Michigan Occupational Safety and Health Act (MIOSHA) regulations and local permit requirements. The contract duration is 90 calendar days from the Notice-to-Proceed with a target substantial completion date of September 30, 2022, and the contract end date of October 30, 2022, with liquidated damages of $500.00 per calendar day assessed for delays. A mandatory pre-bid meeting and site tour was held on May 10, 2022, at 2:00 PM Eastern time at the River Mouth Boating Access Site, and electronic bids were required to be submitted through the SIGMA VSS system by May 18, 2022, at 2:00 PM Eastern time, with questions accepted until May 12, 2022, at 12:00 PM Eastern time. Required qualifications include a 5% bid security, performance and payment bonds for contracts exceeding $50,000, compliance with Michigan prevailing wage requirements with rates established for multiple trade classifications, and Michigan residency requirements mandating that 50 percent of workers be Michigan residents for at least one year.

This procurement is subject to Michigan prevailing wage requirements with hourly rates established for carpenters, laborers, operating engineers, electricians, and specialized trades, including overtime provisions at time-and-one-half and double-time rates. Contractors and subcontractors must post prevailing wage rates conspicuously on the construction site and maintain accurate payroll records subject to state inspection. No specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are noted in the procurement documents, nor are incumbent vendors or current contractors identified. The project is funded by the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) through Funding Code 1117, and special working conditions apply as a DNR facility, including restrictions on work during September and requirements for minimal interference with normal boating access site operations, with the DNR required to approve all access routes. The base bid must include a $7,500 cash allowance for construction testing and a $2,500 contingency allowance, with all bonds, insurance, permits, and general conditions costs the responsibility of the bidder. While no specific award value is disclosed in the procurement documents, the project scope and bonding requirements for contracts exceeding $50,000 suggest a substantial contract value, with the professional services consultant William A.
