Lexington Tierney Park Improvement Project

The Village of Lexington, Michigan, located in Sanilac County, is seeking competitive bids for the Tierney Park Improvement Project, a comprehensive waterfront renovation of the 6.2-acre public park situated on Lake Huron. The project entails multiple infrastructure and amenity improvements, including underground infrastructure upgrades, parking area renovations, construction of a new restroom facility, an amphitheater, boardwalk, play area, site utilities, lighting, native plantings, and site furniture replacement. The bid is scheduled for submission on April 30, 2025, at 1:00 PM, with a mandatory pre-bid meeting held on April 8, 2025, at 1:00 PM. Contractors must provide a 5% bid bond and comprehensive insurance coverage, including commercial general liability ($1M per occurrence), workers' compensation, and vehicle liability insurance. The project evaluation will consider price, completion date, and other factors, with the total project budget including a $75,000 contingency allowance. The project timeline targets construction mobilization around September 15, 2025, with substantial completion targeted for June 30, 2026.

The procurement appears to have no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, and the bid is open to qualified contractors capable of meeting the comprehensive project specifications. The project will be funded through municipal sources and requires bidders to comply with Michigan's procurement regulations, including certification that they are not an Iran-linked business. The Village reserves the right to reject any or all bids and to re-bid portions of the project as needed. Geotechnical investigations have already been completed, revealing specific soil and foundation requirements that will impact construction methodologies. The project includes two alternate bid items: a timber boardwalk and a play zone with trees. While no incumbent vendors are explicitly mentioned, the project involves replacing existing marine fuel tanks and requires specific permits from Sanilac County, with land use fees waived by the Village. The total project budget and potential contract value are not explicitly stated, but the comprehensive nature of the improvements and the detailed specifications suggest a significant municipal infrastructure investment.
