751/24291. JBB; Shingleton Wildlife Office - Bunk House Reno

The Michigan Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and Department of Technology, Management and Budget (DTMB) are soliciting bids for a comprehensive renovation of the bunk house at the Cusino SWRA/Shingleton Wildlife Office located in Alger County. The project involves interior remodeling of the second-floor living quarters, specifically targeting the kitchen, bathroom, and bedrooms used by seasonal DNR field staff. Renovation scope includes plaster repair, painting, floor and wall tile installation, cabinetry replacement, lighting upgrades, new exhaust fans, plumbing work, and hazardous material abatement of floor tile and pipe insulation. A mandatory pre-bid walk-through was conducted on October 7, 2025, at 10:00 am ET at the project site (E 12340 Highway M-28 West, Shingleton). Bid responses are due on October 22, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. ET and must be uploaded to SIGMA VSS. The project includes a base bid and two alternates: Alternate #1 for kitchen renovation with window replacement and Alternate #2 for hallway renovation. Bidders must provide proof of State Project Registration and submit a 5% bid security.

The procurement includes provisions for Service Disabled Veteran Owned Businesses (SDVOB), with a 10% pricing preference established by Public Act 91 of 2005. To qualify, businesses must be at least 51% owned by one or more veterans with a service-connected disability and provide specific documentation including DD214 and VA Rating Decision Letter. The project has a substantial completion date of May 22, 2026, and a final completion date of June 19, 2026, with liquidated damages of $300 per calendar day beyond the substantial completion date. A contingency allowance of $5,000 is included in the base bid, and performance and payment bonds are required for bids over $50,000. The contract will be awarded to the responsive, responsible best value bidder, with potential preference given to qualified disabled veteran businesses. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the renovation and the inclusion of multiple alternates suggests a significant investment in upgrading the DNR's seasonal staff accommodation facilities.
