The State of Michigan Department of Technology, Management and Budget (DTMB), on behalf of the Michigan Department of Natural Resources Parks and Recreation Division, is soliciting Request for Proposals (RFP) for professional architectural and engineering services related to the replacement of a toilet/shower building and design of an on-site sewage disposal system at Twin Lakes State Park in Toivola, Michigan, located in Houghton County. The procurement seeks qualified professionals licensed to practice in Michigan to provide comprehensive design and construction administration services across multiple project phases: Phase 100 (Study), Phase 500 (Final Design and Contract Documents), Phase 600 (Construction Administration - Office Services), and Phase 700 (Construction Administration - Field Services). Key deliverables include design documents for replacing the existing 1975 toilet/shower building to serve 62 existing campground sites, comprehensive analysis and design of an on-site sewage disposal system, detailed surveying and soil analysis, hazardous materials assessment, and coordination with multiple state and local permitting agencies including the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs, Michigan Department of Environment Great Lakes and Energy, and the Western Upper Peninsula Health Department. The proposed facility must comply with Michigan Department of Environmental Quality campground rules requiring specific fixture counts (three men's toilets, two urinals, four men's sinks, four women's toilets, four women's sinks, four showers, and one maintenance faucet) and incorporate prototype designs based on similar facilities such as Brimley State Park. A mandatory pre-proposal walk-through inspection was scheduled for May 6, 2021, at 1:30 p.m. EDT at Twin Lakes State Park, with written questions due by May 20, 2021, at 2:00 p.m. EDT, and proposals due May 27, 2021, by 2:00 p.m. EDT through the State of Michigan Procurement System (SIGMA VSS). Evaluation criteria employ an 80/20 weighting formula with 80 percent attributed to the Technical Proposal addressing experience, methodology, and project management capabilities, and 20 percent to the Cost Proposal based on billable hourly rates for professional staff and estimated phase hours. Phase 500 design completion is required by March 25, 2022, and contract award recommendations are expected within thirty days of the proposal due date.

The RFP requires bidders to submit a Certification of Michigan Based Business form and a Responsibility Certification confirming compliance with specific business integrity and regulatory compliance standards; preference may be extended to Michigan-based businesses consistent with state procurement policies. Compensation is structured on a billable hourly rate basis for all professional and support staff, with consultants' fees includable at a maximum 5 percent markup, while reimbursable expenses including soil borings, site surveys, laboratory testing, plan review and permit fees (estimated at $2,000), sewage system permitting ($10,000), boundary and topographic surveys ($12,500), soil borings and sampling ($5,000), hazardous materials survey ($7,500), and effluent testing ($5,000) are reimbursable at actual costs. The professional must maintain comprehensive insurance including Commercial General Liability ($1,000,000 per occurrence/$2,000,000 aggregate), Professional Liability/Errors and Omissions ($1,000,000 per occurrence/$2,000,000 aggregate), and Environmental Liability ($1,000,000 per occurrence/$2,000,000 aggregate) with the State named as additional insured. No incumbent contractors are identified in the solicitation documents, and the project must coordinate with existing Twin Lakes State Park infrastructure including two potable water towers, one rinse tower at the sanitation station, existing drainfield systems, and current vault toilet facilities. While specific award value ranges are not disclosed in the procurement documents, total project costs will be established through the billable rate contracting structure with not-to-exceed limitations by phase, with written Contract Modifications required for any scope changes or cost overruns exceeding authorized phase amounts.
