751/19361. AGY Various Counties - Demo and Asbestos Abatement

The Michigan Department of Technology, Management and Budget, State Facilities Administration Design and Construction Division, on behalf of the Department of Natural Resources Forest Resources Division, is seeking bids for demolition and asbestos abatement services at five sites located across Presque Isle, Cheboygan, and Alpena Counties. The scope of work includes removal and disposal of multiple structures, complete site restoration to natural state conditions, rough grading, and seeding at project sites designated as D-3 (three sites in Presque Isle and Cheboygan Counties) and D-4 (two sites in Alpena County). Deliverables encompass removal of all improvements including houses, buildings, utility poles, signs, fences, and associated debris; removal of concrete, asphalt, and foundations; and subsequent site restoration including grading, fertilizing, seeding, and mulching to conform to existing grades and comply with Michigan Department of Natural Resources vegetation restoration specifications. Some structures contain asbestos-containing materials identified in inspection reports, requiring specialized abatement or handling in compliance with OSHA and USEPA NESHAP standards; contractors must ensure proper notification is filed with the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality at least ten working days prior to commencing demolition activities. Electronic bids are due on July 31, 2019, at 2:00 p.m. through the SIGMA VSS website, with mandatory pre-bid meetings scheduled for July 9-10, 2019, at designated DNR field offices in Manistique, Kalkaska, Ishpeming, and Atlanta, and questions accepted until July 22, 2019, at noon. Bidders must certify that a responsible company representative visited each project site, provide five percent bid security, and obtain performance and payment bonds for bids exceeding $50,000; the contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder with work completion required by November 15, 2019.

The procurement allows for qualified disabled veteran (QDV) status preference and Michigan-based business certification, with supporting documentation required at bid submission. No incumbent vendors or existing contractors are referenced in the solicitation documents. Bidders may request QDV status recognition or Michigan business certification to potentially enhance their competitive position. Required qualifications include proof of site visitation by responsible representatives, evidence of appropriate liability and workers' compensation insurance with minimum commercial general liability coverage of $1,000,000 per occurrence and pollution liability insurance of not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence, and compliance with prevailing wage requirements if applicable. The contract is funded by the Department of Natural Resources Forest Resources Division with funding code 751FR7500CO16. No specific budget range or estimated contract value is provided in the solicitation documents; however, the project scope encompassing multiple site demolitions, asbestos abatement, and restoration activities across five locations suggests a substantial contract award value.
