Dust Control at Camp Grayling and Ft. Custer.

The Michigan Department of Military and Veterans Affairs is issuing a Request for Proposal (RFP) for dust control services at Camp Grayling JMTC in Grayling, Michigan and Ft. Custer Training Center in Augusta, Michigan. The selected contractor will be responsible for providing all labor, materials, and equipment necessary to apply a dust control solution that meets or exceeds 26% mineral brine to the dirt and sand maneuver trails at the two locations. Applications are anticipated to occur in May, July, and September, with additional services potentially needed due to extreme dry weather conditions. The initial contract term is for 3 years, with the option to renew for up to two additional one-year periods. The RFP requires firm pricing for a 365-day period with potential adjustments based on changes in actual contractor costs. The State may award multiple, optional-use contracts or award by contract activity. The proposal deadline is May 31, 2023, and the anticipated contract start date is July 22, 2023.

The RFP does not identify any incumbent contractors, and the funding source is not specified. There are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The RFP outlines requirements around quality assurance, reporting, meetings, staffing, invoicing, and transitional activities in the event of contract termination, but does not provide any information about the potential award value or budget range.
