The Michigan Department of Technology, Management & Budget (DTMB) has issued a notice of intent to award Request for Quote 260000000439 (file 25246) for construction of the St. Helen Bridge over Marsh Creek in Saginaw County, with the notice dated October 27, 2026. No set-aside or preference program is selected on the bid tabulation form. Two of the seven bidders, QDV Construction Services, LLC and Shreck, Inc., are identified as qualified disabled veteran-owned businesses.

The work is a single bridge infrastructure scope designated Bid Package #1, classified under the Division of Natural Resources. Bidders were required to post bid bonds at 5.00% of their bid amounts.

Bids were submitted by seven contractors, with amounts ranging up to $2.80 million from Ripman Construction Company, Inc. The bid tabulation lists NK Environmental, LLC as the lowest bidder at $1.381 million. The award memorandum, however, recommends Shreck, Inc. at the same $1.381 million as the responsive and responsible bidder offering best value. The recommendation rests on both price and qualitative components. DTMB's Design and Construction Division issued the solicitation on SIGMA VSS on August 14, 2026, with proposals due September 9, 2026. OHM Advisors, a professional services contractor, conducted the evaluation alongside Design and Construction Project Director Ronda Osga, who is the listed contact. Director Adam P. Lach approved the award recommendation on October 13, 2026. The bid tabulation lists the bid opening as November 8, 2026 at 2:00 p.m.
