City of Wayne Goudy Park Renovations

The City of Wayne in Wayne County, Michigan, is soliciting bids for the Goudy Park Improvements project, a comprehensive park renovation initiative scheduled for implementation between May 1, 2025, and July 31, 2025. The procurement is a public works contract that involves constructing an elevated amphitheater with a 48-inch raised concrete platform, pre-engineered shelter, decorative retaining walls, walkways, LED bollard lights, and comprehensive landscaping at 3498 2nd Street. Key deliverables include earth excavation, storm sewer installation, drainage structure modifications, and site reconfiguration. Bidders are required to submit a bid surety of 5% of the proposal amount and must provide their proposals by April 24, 2025, at 10:00 am local time to the City of Wayne Clerk's Office. All questions must be submitted via email to Raymond D. Parker, Project Architect, at least five business days before the bid date, and contract documents are available electronically through the Michigan Intergovernmental Trade Network (MITN) and a provided Google Drive link. The City of Wayne reserves the right to waive information, reject any or all bids, and bidders cannot withdraw their proposals within 90 days after the bid opening.

While no specific set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise requirements are explicitly mentioned in the provided documents, the project appears to be an open competitive bid opportunity for qualified contractors. The comprehensive engineering plan set, prepared by Hennessey Engineers, suggests a sophisticated municipal infrastructure project that would likely require bidders to demonstrate significant experience in public park renovations, civil engineering, and complex site development. Although specific budget figures are not disclosed, the detailed 4MB plan set and 10MB specification document indicate a substantial municipal investment in community infrastructure. The project involves intricate architectural, civil, and landscape design elements, which suggests potential preference for firms with multidisciplinary capabilities and proven experience in municipal park and public space renovation projects. Interested contractors should carefully review the complete set of documents, including the plan set and specifications, to fully understand the project's technical requirements and scope of work.
