The Michigan Department of Technology, Management & Budget, State Facilities Administration - Design & Construction Division has issued a Notice of Intent to Award for bathroom and piping upgrades at the Traverse City State Office Building under RFQ 260000000366 (DTMB File 171/23058.RLO), with the award recommendation issued September 1, 2026.

The scope covers bathroom and piping system upgrades at the Traverse City State Office Building. Kendra C. Thompson Architects served as the project architect and evaluation partner alongside Design and Construction Project Director Ronda Osga.

Three contractors bid the project. The bid tabulation identifies Tamarack Builders, Inc., of Lakeview, Michigan, as the lowest bidder at $1,792,000.00 and the recommended awardee, with qualified disabled veteran status noted. Triangle Associates, Inc., of Grand Rapids, Michigan, submitted the second bid at $2,487,000.00, and Coastal Construction Group, LLC, of Cheboygan, Michigan, submitted the third bid at $2,712,000.00. However, the award recommendation memorandum names Coastal Construction Group as the awardee at $2,937,000.00 based on price and qualitative components, indicating the final award recommendation differs from the initial bid tabulation ranking.

All three bidders demonstrated bond capability and met the 5% bid security requirement. The RFQ was posted June 29, 2026, with proposals due August 5, 2026, and a bid opening scheduled for October 4, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. Award is contingent upon fulfillment of standard contracting requirements and contract execution. Adequate funds are available for the project, certified by the Director and State Architect.
