NO BID NO AWARD- Open pavilion at CGJMTC

The State of Michigan Department of Military and Veterans Affairs has issued Request for Proposal (RFP) No. 190000002527 for constructing an open pavilion at Camp Grayling Joint Maneuver Training Center (JMTC) located in Grayling, Michigan, which serves Clinton County. The project involves building a 40x30 pavilion over an existing 30 ft x 36 ft concrete slab with specific structural requirements including low-pitch glue laminated timber beams, 5" tubular steel support columns powder-coated black, and architectural-grade shingles. Prospective bidders must be a State of Michigan licensed residential builder capable of providing all labor, materials, equipment, and permits, with no electrical or plumbing work required. The proposal was originally issued on 6/18/2019, with submissions due by 3:00 p.m. Eastern on 7/5/2019, and an anticipated contract start date of 7/15/2019. Bidders must submit a Michigan Residential Builders License, detailed bill of materials, project plan with timelines, and subcontractor disclosures. The evaluation process will assess technical criteria across product requirements, bid submissions, warranties, subcontractor details, and vendor experience, with proposals receiving 80 points or more qualifying for pricing evaluation.

The RFP does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The State reserves the right to consider factors beyond the lowest price, including potential Michigan business impact and economic considerations. While no incumbent vendors are mentioned, the contract terms specify firm pricing for the entire contract length. Site visits are available upon request, allowing potential bidders to assess the project location and requirements. The RFP does not specify a precise budget range or award value, suggesting that pricing will be determined through the competitive bidding process. The project appears focused on enhancing infrastructure at the Camp Grayling Joint Maneuver Training Center by adding a functional open pavilion that meets specific structural and architectural specifications. Contractors interested in this opportunity must demonstrate technical capability, compliance with licensing requirements, and the ability to deliver a high-quality pavilion structure within the specified timeframe.
