File No. 761/17316. SAR-Grant Mini-Mart - Demo & Soil Removal

The Michigan Department of Technology, Management and Budget (DTMB), State Facilities Administration, Design & Construction Division, in coordination with the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) Remediation and Redevelopment Division, is procuring demolition and environmental remediation services for the Grant Mini-Mart site located at 92 S. Maple Street, Grant, Michigan 49686 in Oceana County. The scope of work encompasses complete demolition and recycling/disposal of the Mini-Mart building, canopy, asphalt parking lot (1,500 square yards), light poles, and ancillary structures; excavation, transportation, and disposal of approximately 3,400 tons of petroleum-contaminated soil; excavation support using a specified slide-rail system from Efficiency Productions with no substitutions permitted; backfill and compaction of 3,300 tons of material; placement of 1,620 square yards of aggregate surface course; soil erosion and sediment controls; and slope restoration. The project includes ten bid items with a $25,000 provisionary allowance and requires compliance with all federal, state, and local regulations, comprehensive health and safety planning, proper handling of asbestos-containing materials (tan/white caulking identified as containing 5 percent chrysotile asbestos), and prevailing wage rates applicable to Newaygo County. The mandatory pre-bid conference and site walk-through occurred on February 26, 2018, at 10:00 a.m., with electronic bids due on March 21, 2018, at 2:00 p.m. EDT through the Michigan SIGMA VSS bidding website; bidders' questions were accepted until 3:00 p.m. on March 7, 2018. The apparent low bidder must submit post-bid qualifications including experience modification rating, proposed project superintendent information, at least three similar completed projects within the past five years (with at least one demonstrating self-performed excavation shoring system installation), and a list of nominated subcontractors. Contract completion is required within 60 calendar days from the Notice-to-Proceed (estimated mid-April 2018), with liquidated damages of $1,000 per calendar day for delays beyond substantial completion; contract award was required by May 3, 2018.

The procurement documents do not identify any designated set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises, minority-owned businesses, or women-owned businesses, nor do they reference restrictions on organizational types eligible to respond. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the solicitation materials. Superior Environmental Corp, located at 1128 Franklin Street, Marne, Michigan 49435, serves as the project inquiry contact (Corey Buckner, 616-667-4000, c.buckner@superiorenvironmental.com). A five percent bid guarantee is required from all bidders, with performance and payment bonds mandatory for contracts exceeding $50,000. Bidders must provide commercial general liability insurance of $1,000,000 per occurrence, pollution liability insurance of $1,000,000 per occurrence, and workers' compensation insurance. The solicitation materials do not explicitly state a total project budget or award value, though the project is funded by the State of Michigan and managed through the MDEQ; the ten bid items and provisionary allowance structure suggests a moderate to substantial contract value. Bidders were required to acknowledge receipt of both Addendum No. 1 (issued March 12, 2018, revising the bid due date and contract completion timeline to 60 calendar days) and Addendum 2 to avoid disqualification.
