751/19154. TAP Brimley SP - Toilet Shower Building

The Michigan Department of Technology, Management and Budget (DTMB), on behalf of the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, is soliciting professional architectural and engineering services through a Request for Proposals for the design and construction administration of toilet and shower building replacements at Brimley State Park in Clare County, Michigan. The procurement requires a Professional Services Contractor (PSC) to provide comprehensive Phase 500 (final design), Phase 600 (construction administration office services), and Phase 700 (construction administration field services), with Phase 400 services as necessary, for three toilet shower buildings at the park campground. Key deliverables include construction plans, permit applications, contract documents, design and construction scheduling, cost estimates, and full construction administration services. The contractor must conduct site assessments, topographic surveys with one-foot contours, and coordinate with the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) and the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA) for required permits. All design work must comply with Michigan DNR Guidelines, barrier-free accessibility standards, DEQ campground unit fixture requirements, LEED principles, and ADA standards. The prime professional must be licensed to practice in Michigan, and all proposals will be evaluated on an 80 percent technical merit basis and 20 percent cost basis, utilizing billable hourly rates with a maximum 5 percent markup on sub-consultant fees. A mandatory pre-proposal meeting and site visit occurred on May 17, 2019, at 9:00 AM Eastern Standard Time at Wilderness State Park Headquarters in Carp Lake, Michigan, followed by a site visit to Brimley State Park. Proposals were due May 30, 2019, at 2:00 p.m. local time, submitted in six hard copies and two electronic PDF copies on external USB drives to Anne Watros at DTMB. Contract award recommendations were expected within thirty days of the proposal due date.

The RFP requires bidders to complete and submit a Certification of Michigan Based Business form and Responsibility Certification forms confirming no disqualifying criminal convictions, license suspensions, tax delinquencies, debarments, or Iran-linked business status within the preceding three years. Proposals may be submitted individually for Brimley State Park or as composite proposals covering both Brimley and the related Straits State Park Toilet Shower Building Replacement project; firms submitting combined proposals contingent upon multiple awards must submit the combined proposal to all affected projects with the total combined fee amount listed for each project entry. Reimbursable direct expenses include printing, plan reproduction, soil borings, site surveys, laboratory testing, postage, and travel expenses exceeding 100 miles one-way from the contractor's office, with specific reimbursable allowances identified as $1,500 for plan review and permitting, $2,000 for soil borings and soils analysis, and $2,500 for topographical survey work. The RFP does not establish a fixed budget; the construction budget has not been determined, and the professional services budget is noted as believed reasonable but may require revision by addendum if insufficient. Site assessment work could begin immediately upon contract issuance, with construction desired to commence in Fall 2020 and completion by Spring 2021. No incumbent vendors or specific budget ranges are identified in the procurement documents.
