Bay City Sate Park 23-A and 6AAfor Limestone for parking lot

The Michigan Department of Natural Resources is issuing a Request for Proposal to procure limestone aggregate materials for parking lot work at Bay City State Park located at 3582 State Park Drive, Bay City, Michigan. The procurement seeks two distinct limestone products: 700 tons of 23-A limestone and 400 tons of 6AA limestone, both to be delivered and dumped at a single designated location. Bidders must submit complete proposals by Friday, September 13th, 2019 at 9:30 a.m. via the SIGMA VSS system, with prospective bidders required to submit any technical questions to solicitation manager Samantha Fusco no later than Thursday, September 12th, 2019 at 9:30 a.m., with answers posted by 5:00 p.m. EST that same day. Pricing must be quoted on an F.O.B. Destination basis and include all delivery costs, with separate unit prices required for each limestone product and a combined total quote for both line items. The evaluation criteria allow the State to use the lower of two quoted amounts if discrepancies exist between the RFP form and SIGMA VSS entries. Payment terms are net 45 days from the date the DNR takes possession and acceptance of the materials, unless bidders offer expedited payment discounts.

The solicitation includes a set-aside consideration for qualified disabled veteran (QDV) owned businesses under Michigan law, which may receive favorable evaluation consideration; eligible bidders must provide appropriate documentation including DD214 forms, proof of service-connected disability, and legal proof of business ownership. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the solicitation materials. The standard State of Michigan contract terms require successful bidders to maintain Commercial General Liability insurance of at least $1,000,000 per occurrence, Automobile Liability coverage of $1,000,000 per accident, Workers' Compensation insurance, and compliance with all applicable State security policies and data protection requirements. The contract documents do not specify an explicit budget range or award value; rather, compensation is structured as a fixed-price arrangement based on the accepted unit pricing for limestone delivery. All State data and contract terms remain subject to Michigan standard contract provisions, and any federally-funded portions of the contract would require compliance with prevailing wage requirements and applicable federal regulations.
