Intent to Award RFP 260000001603

The Michigan Department of Transportation Purchasing Unit issued a Notice of Intent to Award RFP 260000001603 for pump station inspection, maintenance, and repair services on a statewide, as-needed basis, with award recommendation due May 29, 2026, pending State Administrative Board approval.

Two proposals were submitted. Northern Pump and Well (Lansing, MI) scored 94 out of 100 points on technical evaluation, exceeding the 80-point minimum threshold for pricing consideration, and proposed $10,353,550. Trojan Development Co. Inc (Oxford, MI) proposed $27,636,335. The evaluation committee — four voting members and two advisory members from MDOT — weighted four criteria: Service Specifications (40 points), Project Plan (20 points), Required Documents Completion (5 points), and Vendor Experience (35 points). MDOT selected Northern Pump and Well as best value based on technical score, agreement to meet timeframes, percentage of work performed directly by the vendor, acceptable equipment inspection and references, and competitive pricing.

The contract term is three years with up to two one-year renewal options. Neither bidder held Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Business or Geographically Disadvantaged Business Enterprise designation. The RFP was posted March 25, 2026, with proposals due April 24, 2026.
