The procurement documents do not specify designated set-asides or restrictions limiting bidder eligibility to particular business classifications or disadvantaged enterprise designations. No incumbent vendors or existing contractor information is identified in the available documentation. Contractors are not responsible for permit costs such as wrecking or hydrant permits but remain responsible for hydrant re-inspection fees of $1,920.00 if hydrant failure occurs on commercial structures. Backfill materials must be sourced from the City of Detroit's approved Category 2 backfill platform, and contractors are required to reference the current list of approved sources on that platform. The documentation does not provide an explicit budget range or award value; however, pricing is based on unit rates submitted by contractors for hourly administration, supervisor, laborer, and equipment services, plus per-unit pricing for regulated and non-regulated trucking, disposal of asbestos-containing and construction/demolition materials, air monitoring, backfill material, and topfill material. The City of Detroit reserves the right to withhold payment equivalent to correction costs or remediation expenses caused by contractor deficiencies and may adjust pricing based on documentation review.
