Notice of Intent to Award 260000000442; 751/23309. HJD

The Michigan Department of Technology, Management & Budget's State Facility Administration – Design & Construction Division has issued a notice of intent to award Request for Quote 260000000442 for day use improvements at William Mitchell State Park to QDV Construction Services, LLC, with the award recommendation approved October 27, 2026. The bid tabulation was prepared by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources and assigns the project File Number 23309.

The source sets no set-aside or preference program for this solicitation. The bid tabulation identifies some responsive bidders as qualified disabled veterans (QDV). A 5.00% bid bond was required. The tabulation rejected one of five submissions as non-responsive for failing to submit bids on State of Michigan documents, omitting a bid bond, and failing to acknowledge addenda. The memorandum does not describe the scope beyond day use improvements at the park.

The solicitation was posted on SIGMA VSS on August 19, 2026, with proposals due September 23, 2026. Evaluation was based on best value, weighing price and qualitative components, with professional evaluation assistance from Beckett & Raeder, Inc. The memorandum recommends award to QDV Construction Services, LLC at $1.942 million, pending approval and contract execution, even though the low base bid came from Viper Concrete Coating and Polishing, LLC at $1.574 million. Other base bids were QDV Construction Services, LLC at $1.740795 million, CarbonSix Construction and Tamarack Builders, Inc. at $1.938 million each, and Coastal Construction Group, LLC at $2.256 million.

The bid tabulation records a bid opening on November 22, 2026, at 2:00 p.m., which postdates the October 27 notice. Project Director Heather DeKorte handles questions on the evaluation at DeKorteH@michigan.gov or 517-243-7248.
