761/19135. SAR Jamestown Automotive Demolition / Remediation

The State of Michigan Department of Technology, Management and Budget (DTMB), in partnership with the Department of Environment, Great Lakes & Energy (EGLE), is procuring comprehensive demolition and site remediation services for the former Jamestown Automotive facility located at 3240 24th Avenue in Jamestown, Michigan (DTMB File No. 761/19135.SAR). The scope of work encompasses asbestos abatement, universal waste disposal, regulated waste disposal, complete building demolition of two commercial structures (a former fire station and library), geotechnical investigation, soldier pile design and installation, soil excavation of petroleum-impacted materials to approximately 15 feet below grade, groundwater removal and disposal, installation of perforated plastic tile drainage systems, backfill with clean materials, and site restoration including pavement and surface work. The base bid includes 21 distinct line items covering mobilization, demobilization, video survey documentation, utility relocations, soil removal and disposal (15,000 tons), groundwater removal and disposal (40,000 gallons), pavement restoration (950 square yards), soldier pile installation (230 linear feet), and backfill, along with a $60,000 provisionary allowance for unforeseen conditions and well abandonment. A mandatory pre-bid conference and site tour were held on June 28, 2019, at 10:00 AM and 10:30 AM respectively, with attendance required for all prospective bidders. Electronic bids were due by July 17, 2019, at 2:00 p.m. local time, with questions accepted until July 8, 2019, at 4:00 p.m. The contract completion timeline is 90 calendar days from the Notice-to-Proceed, with liquidated damages of $500 per day for delays. Evaluation criteria include responsiveness, responsibility, and best value factors encompassing technical approach, quality of proposed personnel, and management plans. Bidders must provide a 5% bid security, complete the Bid Summary Form (DTMB-0401D) with prices stated in words and figures, submit a Schedule of Values, and provide evidence of Michigan-based business status for bids exceeding $100,000. Bids must remain valid for 60 calendar days after opening, and all successful contractors must provide performance and payment bonds, as well as a one-year warranty period covering defects in materials and workmanship.

The procurement documents do not specify set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, minority-owned businesses, or women-owned businesses, nor do they indicate restrictions limiting participation to particular organization types. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the available documentation. The hazardous materials assessment identified asbestos-containing materials in both structures requiring professional abatement prior to demolition, including floor tiles with mastic, wall panel adhesives, underlayment, and caulking, along with PCB-containing light ballasts, mercury-containing fluorescent lamps, and lead-containing paint requiring careful management during demolition. The project requires bidders to acknowledge Addendum No. 1, which added a well abandonment requirement for one 4-inch potable well assumed to be 100 feet deep on a lump sum basis. No specific award value or budget range is stated in the available procurement documents, though the requirement for performance and payment bonds on contracts exceeding $50,000 suggests the anticipated contract value exceeds this threshold. Bid documents were available through the Michigan SIGMA system or directly from the professional services firm Fleis & VandenBrink Engineering, Inc., located at 2960 Lucerne Drive, Grand Rapids, Michigan (telephone: 616.977.1000, email: ewalters@fveng.com).
