DEM OPM Burlingame Campground Bathhouse Replacements

The State of Rhode Island's Department of Environmental Management (DEM) and Office of Purchasing Management (OPM) are soliciting proposals for Owner's Representative Services related to the demolition and construction of six bathhouses and an on-site wastewater treatment system at Burlingame Campground in Charlestown, Rhode Island. The procurement seeks a qualified vendor to provide comprehensive project management services, with key deliverables including technical oversight, cost management, and coordination of the campground infrastructure improvement project. Proposals must be submitted electronically through the Ocean State Procures system by August 15, 2024, at 1:30 PM EDT, with a vendor question and answer period scheduled from July 25 to August 1, 2024. The initial contract term will span approximately three years, beginning in September 2024, with the potential for a one-year renewal contingent on performance and funding availability. Evaluation criteria will encompass technical merit, cost proposals, and the vendor's proposed Minority, Women, and Disability Business Enterprise (ISBE) participation rates, with points allocated across these categories to determine the most qualified vendor.

The state encourages participation from Minority Business Enterprises (MBEs), Women Business Enterprises (WBEs), and Disability Business Enterprises (DisBEs), with vendors receiving additional scoring based on their proposed ISBE utilization rates. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the contract will utilize the AIA C172-2014 Standard Form of Agreement between Owner and Program Manager, requiring comprehensive insurance coverage including $1,000,000 in liability per occurrence, $100,000 workers compensation, $1,000,000 in automobile liability, and $2,000,000 in professional liability coverage. Vendors must be registered in the Ocean State Procures system and comply with Rhode Island's affirmative action and non-discrimination requirements. The procurement is open to all qualified vendors capable of meeting the technical specifications and insurance requirements, with the state reserving the right to award based on cost alone or to reject any and all proposals. Funding for the project is contingent on state appropriations, and the state maintains the flexibility to cancel the procurement at its discretion.
