City Hall Improvement Project Owner's Rep

The City of Owosso, located in Michigan's Sanilac County, is soliciting proposals for an Owner's Representative to oversee comprehensive City Hall Improvement Project services. The procurement seeks a professional services contractor to manage multiple infrastructure upgrades, including mechanical engineering, rooftop unit replacement, supply air duct insulation, electrical panel engineering, generator installation, concrete reinforcement, building management system installation, electrical service redesign, and front step renovation. Proposals are due by August 20, 2024, at 3:00 P.M., with evaluation criteria focused on firm experience, qualifications, cost-effectiveness, and project scope understanding. The RFP requires proposing firms to submit detailed documentation including company information, itemized costs, comprehensive qualifications, completed W-9 form, proof of insurance, and potentially a local preference affidavit. Evaluation will emphasize the contractor's ability to provide three primary service components: a lump sum cost for owner's representative services, hourly rates for additional consultation, and percentage fees for future project services.

The procurement includes a notable local preference policy providing competitive advantages to businesses located within Owosso (6% proposal advantage or $2,500, whichever is less) or Shiawassee County (3% proposal advantage or $2,500, whichever is less). Selected contractors must maintain specific insurance coverages, including worker's compensation, commercial general liability, and automobile liability, with the City of Owosso named as an additional insured. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the improvements suggests a substantial municipal infrastructure investment. The contract will require strict adherence to municipal project management guidelines, with emphasis on detailed documentation, clear communication protocols, and performance standards. No specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises were mentioned in the available documentation, and no information about incumbent vendors or existing technological infrastructure was provided in the procurement materials.
