DNR Silver Lake State Park - 23A Aggregate, Delivered

The Michigan Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is seeking a contractor to deliver 7,600 tons of 23A road gravel aggregate to Silver Lake State Park located in Mears, Michigan. The procurement opportunity, posted on December 17, 2018, with a submission deadline of December 26, 2018, requires the delivery of road gravel to the Park's Welcome Center at 8505 W. Fox Rd. The project stipulates that all deliveries must include scale slips documenting load volume and weight, and contractors must ensure the gravel is not water-saturated to maintain accurate weight measurements. Delivery coordination is mandatory with Park Manager Jody Johnston, and work must commence after purchase order issuance and be completed by May 10, 2019. Contractors should be prepared for potential schedule modifications due to weather conditions and spring roadway weight restrictions. DNR staff will provide specific on-site unloading instructions during delivery. The project requires contractors capable of meeting precise road gravel specifications and capable of coordinating complex logistical delivery requirements.

While no specific set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise requirements are mentioned in the documentation, potential bidders should be prepared to demonstrate compliance with standard state procurement guidelines. The project appears to be open to qualified aggregate and transportation contractors with experience in large-volume material delivery and coordination with state park facilities. No incumbent vendor information is provided, and no specific budget range is detailed in the available documentation. The total project scope of 7,600 tons suggests a substantial delivery requirement that would likely require significant transportation and logistics capabilities. Contractors should be prepared to provide documentation of their ability to meet technical specifications, deliver within the designated timeframe, and coordinate effectively with DNR park management. The procurement appears to be a straightforward material delivery contract with clear performance expectations and a defined completion timeline.
