Cadillac Place Cooling Tower 1 and 2 Repair

The Michigan Department of Technology, Management and Budget is issuing a Notice of Intent to Award for Cadillac Place Cooling Tower 1 and 2 repairs under RFP 260000002250, with final award pending State Administrative Board approval. This is a re-bid following cancellation of RFP 26*1721 due to supplier parts omissions.

The scope covers repairs to two cooling tower units at Cadillac Place. The project term extends through estimated winter 2026 completion with no renewal options.

Systemp Corporation is the recommended awardee at a total price of $542,516.85 ($271,258.43 per unit). The competing bidder, Tower Service and Supply, submitted a proposal at $635,000.00 ($317,500.00 per unit). Both bidders received identical technical evaluation scores of 100 out of 100 points across weighted criteria assessing Statement of Work sections, warranties, part availability, and vendor responsiveness. The evaluation committee cited Systemp Corporation's prior satisfactory project performance, demonstrated expertise, and lowest pricing as the award justification.

No set-asides or preference programs were specified beyond standard responsible vendor requirements. Neither bidder qualified as a Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Business or Geographically Disadvantaged Business Enterprise.
