Farmers Market Restroom Facility

The City of Royal Oak, located in Oakland County, Michigan, is seeking electronic proposals for the Farmers Market Restroom Facility project through its procurement portal. The procurement is for a general contractor to construct a new 925 gross square foot restroom facility located on the west side of the existing Farmers Market along S. Troy Street. Key project dates include a mandatory pre-bid meeting on December 3, 2024, with proposal submissions due by December 12, 2024, at 5:00 PM EST. Bidder interviews are scheduled for December 19, 2024, with a planned contract award on January 13, 2025. The construction is set to commence on April 1, 2025, with substantial completion targeted for September 16, 2025, and final project closeout on November 25, 2025. Bidders must meet specific minimum qualifications, including being in business for at least 10 consecutive years, licensed in Michigan, having experience with at least five public sector clients, and completing at least five public sector construction projects valued at $1,000,000 or more in the past decade.

The procurement does not specify explicit set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. Contractors must submit a 5% bid bond or certified check with their proposal and maintain comprehensive insurance coverage, including $2 million per occurrence and $4 million aggregate commercial general liability insurance. While no incumbent vendor is mentioned, the project will utilize the AIA A104-2017 Standard Form of Agreement, modified by the City of Royal Oak. Bidders will be evaluated based on meeting minimum qualifications and being the lowest responsible bidder, with the city reserving the right to reject any or all proposals. The specific project budget is not explicitly stated in the documents, but the comprehensive requirements suggest a significant public infrastructure investment. Contractors must be prepared to provide all labor, materials, equipment, and services necessary to complete the project, with a one-year warranty period for defective work.
