DNR Warren Dunes State Park-Fence Removal & Sand Relocation

The State of Michigan, specifically the Department of Natural Resources (DNR), is procuring contractors to perform sand relocation projects at several state parks, including Warren Dunes, Holland, Grand Haven, Muskegon, and Charles Mears. The contract is a one-time purchase, and the key objectives are to remove fencing and relocate sand at these park locations. The procurement process involved posting a request for proposals (RFP) on February 22, 2024, with proposals due by March 21, 2024. The DNR has recommended award to the lowest responsive and responsible bidders, pending State Administrative Board approval. The evaluation process focused on determining responsible and responsive bidders, with a pass/fail rating used to select the lowest responsive and responsible bidder for each project.

The procurement does not include any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The bid tabulation indicates that no bidders submitted documentation for Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Business (SDVOB) status. The contract values for each park project are included in the bid tabulation, with the recommended awardees being NK Environmental and VandenBerg Excavating for Warren Dunes, Hallack Contracting for Holland and Grand Haven, Stein Construction for Muskegon, and Ken Adams Excavating for Charles Mears.
