Fencing at Camp Grayling JMTC and Ft. Custer Training Center

The State of Michigan's Department of Military and Veterans Affairs (DMVA) is seeking a qualified contractor to perform fencing maintenance, installation, and clearing services at Camp Grayling Joint Maneuver Training Center (CGJMTC) and Fort Custer Training Center (FCTC). The contract covers approximately 400,000 lineal feet of fence line at CGJMTC and 75,000 lineal feet at FCTC, with services including clearing, maintenance, and new fence/gate installation. The procurement requires a licensed builder or Residential Maintenance & Alteration Contractor in Michigan, capable of providing all equipment, materials, and labor to complete projects within 90 business days of order receipt. Bidders must submit proposals electronically through the SIGMA VSS system by May 24, 2018, at 3:00 PM Eastern, with questions due by May 8, 2018, and answers posted by May 15, 2018. The evaluation process will score proposals based on technical criteria including Statement of Work-Scope (5 points), General Requirements (25 points), Sections 2-6 (15 points), and Vendor Questions Worksheet (55 points), with only proposals receiving 80 or more technical evaluation points advancing to pricing evaluation.

The contract includes potential opportunities for Qualified Disabled Veteran (QDV) businesses under MCL 18.1261(8), with the State reserving the right to consider this status during evaluation. The contract term is three years, with two one-year optional renewals, and will be awarded on a "NOT-TO-EXCEED" budget structure contingent upon available funding. Contractors must meet extensive insurance requirements, including Commercial General Liability ($1M per occurrence, $2M aggregate), Umbrella/Excess Liability ($5M), Automobile Liability ($1M), Workers' Compensation, and Employers Liability coverage. The project will adhere to prevailing wage rates established for multiple Michigan counties, including Kalamazoo, Kalkaska, Crawford, and Otsego. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the contract will involve significant fencing work across two major training centers, suggesting a substantial potential contract value. Contractors must comply with federal provisions including Davis-Bacon Act, Copeland "Anti-Kickback" Act, and various non-discrimination and equal employment opportunity requirements.
