Lafayette Park Improvements

The City of South Lyon in Oakland County, Michigan is seeking sealed proposals for the Lafayette Park Improvements project, a comprehensive infrastructure upgrade encompassing removal of existing hot mix asphalt, grading an 80' x 140' lot, concrete paving installation, and site restoration. The project involves detailed civil and electrical infrastructure work, including drainage structures, curb ramps, sidewalks, utility trenches, and electrical system upgrades such as new lighting panels, EV charging stations, and electrical service connections. Bidders must submit detailed proposals demonstrating previous relevant experience and attend a mandatory site visit. Proposals will be received until 10:00 AM local time on May 2, 2025, with bids to be publicly opened and read. Contractors are required to submit questions by April 24, 2025, and must provide a 5% bid bond or certified check with their proposal. The project timeline anticipates construction from bid award to completion by October 1, 2025, with final site cleanup by November 1, 2025. Liquidated damages of $400 per calendar day will be assessed for delays beyond the specified completion dates.

There are no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on vendor participation mentioned in the documentation. The project will be advertised through the Michigan Intergovernmental Trade Network (MITN), suggesting broad competitive bidding opportunities. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the project includes an allowance of $10,000 for DTE service fees and involves substantial infrastructure work, including 400 square yards of 4-inch aggregate base, 130 square yards of 6-inch aggregate base, multiple sewer and drainage structure installations, and comprehensive electrical components. The successful bidder will be required to provide performance, labor and material, and maintenance bonds. Electrical work specifications include installing a new 208Y/120V, 100A, 3-phase lighting panel, photocell controls, Level 2 EV chargers, food truck outlets, and decorative light poles. The project appears to be locally funded by the City of South Lyon, with a focus on modernizing and improving the Lafayette Park infrastructure.
