About this opportunity
The Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians is soliciting proposals from building construction contractors for the Eyaawing Museum & Cultural Center exterior deck replacement project located in Peshawbestown, Michigan. The procurement involves comprehensive deck reconstruction, including demolition of the existing concrete slab and galvanized decking, installation of new galvanized metal decking, reinforced concrete slab, protective coating application, and curved laminated canopy beam repairs. Contractors must be licensed builders in Michigan and carry appropriate liability insurance. The project requires detailed bid submissions with comprehensive pricing, including all applicable taxes and insurance. Bid proposals are due by September 12, 2025, at 3:00 PM, with an expected substantial completion date of June 30, 2026, and final payment readiness by July 10, 2026. Evaluation criteria will focus on contractor qualifications, past experiences, and overall project cost, with the potential for follow-up interviews to assess bidder capabilities.
The solicitation includes a Native American/Alaskan Indian preference, mandating that bidders submit proof of tribal membership to be considered. While a specific project budget is not disclosed, contractors are required to provide an overall bid price, with potential low bidders being asked to furnish a detailed cost breakdown. Bid documents can be obtained through Traverse Reproduction and Supply or reviewed on the MITN Purchasing Group website. The Grand Traverse Band maintains a sales tax-exempt status, which may impact pricing considerations. Interested contractors should note that the procurement process emphasizes not just cost, but also the bidder's demonstrated expertise, past performance, and ability to successfully complete complex cultural facility renovation projects. The project's location in Kent County, Michigan, suggests a regional focus with potential implications for local economic development and cultural preservation.
