Clinton County Courthouse Mezzanine FM200 Upgrade

Clinton County Facility and Fleet Services is seeking proposals for the Clinton County Courthouse Mezzanine FM200 Upgrade project, a comprehensive fire suppression system replacement located in St. Johns, Michigan. The procurement involves replacing the existing FM200 fire suppression system with a new Siemens Sinorix 5112 fire detection and suppression system, including a new releasing panel TXR-320. The base bid must encompass the new system, detection controls, chemical tanks, nozzles, piping, removal of the existing system, surface mounted conduit, relay cards for shutdowns, room integrity test, electronic and physical drawings, building fire alarm connection, and HVAC shutdown connections. Key procurement dates include a pre-bid meeting on July 29, 2024, intent to bid notifications due by August 2, 2024, and proposal submissions due by 3:00 PM on August 8, 2024. A public bid opening will occur on the submission date, with final selection expected by August 15, 2024. Suppliers must provide comprehensive proposal documentation, including company history, authorized contact information, and detailed cost quotations, with evaluation likely based on technical capabilities, system specifications, and overall project approach.

The procurement appears open to qualified suppliers without specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. Mandatory requirements include various insurance coverages, such as Workers' Compensation, Professional Liability, and Comprehensive General Liability Insurance with specified coverage limits. Performance and payment bonds are required for projects exceeding $50,000. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the complexity of the fire suppression system upgrade suggests a significant capital investment. The county reserves the right to accept, reject, or negotiate proposals and is not obligated to reimburse suppliers for proposal preparation costs. Potential bidders must complete several attachments, including a Supplier Authority Statement and Certifications and Assurances form, demonstrating compliance with non-discrimination policies and independent contractor regulations. The project emphasizes technical precision in fire safety infrastructure replacement, requiring suppliers to have specialized expertise in fire suppression systems and facility upgrade technologies.
