751/20074. MNB; Belle Isle - Shelter 19 & 20 Replacement

The Michigan Department of Technology, Management and Budget (DTMB) State Facilities Administration is seeking bids for the Belle Isle Shelter 19 and 20 Replacement project, located in Detroit, Michigan. The procurement involves comprehensive infrastructure improvements, including the installation of two new wood frame pavilions, renovation of existing men's and women's toilet rooms, construction of an ADA parking ramp, parking lot striping, and signage near the fishing pier. Bidders must submit electronic proposals through SIGMA VSS by February 19, 2025, at 2:00 PM Eastern Time, with a mandatory pre-bid meeting scheduled for January 29, 2025, at 10:00 AM at the Belle Isle Park Office. The project requires a 5% bid guarantee and performance/payment bonds for bids over $50,000, with a contract time allowing 120 days for substantial completion and an additional 30 days for final completion. Evaluation will likely consider technical capability, compliance with specifications, and the ability to manage complex renovation and construction tasks involving hazardous material abatement, including identified asbestos-containing materials and lead-based paint.

The solicitation does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises, though the bid documents reference potential opportunities for Qualified Disabled Veteran submissions. The project includes two deduct alternates: one for partial removal of Shelter #20 and another for complete removal, providing bidders with flexible options. Liquidated damages of $500 per calendar day will be assessed for substantial completion delays. While no specific budget range is provided, the base bid includes $40,000 in specified allowances, and the project involves significant site improvements and structural work. The geotechnical investigation reveals complex soil conditions, including soft clay, loose sand, and groundwater challenges, which will require specialized construction expertise. Bidders should be prepared to address these technical requirements and demonstrate capability in managing environmental remediation and park infrastructure renovation projects.
