OFS Rapid Setting Polymer Concrete Patching Material T41&T17

The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) issued a Request for Proposal (RFP 220000002614) on June 28, 2022, for an as-needed statewide contract to supply rapid setting polymer concrete patching material for bridge crews. The procurement seeks methyl methacrylate (MMA) polymer concrete patching materials, including liquid resin primer, liquid resin binder, and pre-packaged dry powder products that meet specific performance requirements for partial and full depth patching, grouting, and structural repairs on concrete bridge surfaces. Bidders must be certified as authorized distributors or manufacturers of approved rapid setting polymer concrete patching materials and must submit proposals electronically through the Michigan.gov SIGMA VSS system by 3:00 p.m. Eastern on July 21, 2022. Written questions must be submitted by July 5, 2022, with answers posted by July 7, 2022. The contract term is three years with two optional one-year extensions, with an anticipated contract begin date of August 22, 2022. Evaluation is based on pass/fail criteria for completeness of required forms and schedules, agreement with standard contract terms, and selection of the lowest-priced responsive and responsible bidder. Bidders must complete the Confidential Treatment Form, Vendor Questions Worksheet, Schedule A (Statement of Work), and Schedule B (Pricing), and the State reserves the right to conduct facility inspections, request oral presentations, conduct interviews and background checks, and request additional price concessions during evaluation.

The State may consider a bidder's qualified disabled veteran-owned or service-disabled veteran-owned business (QDV/SDVOB) status and overall economic impact, including Michigan employment and local capital investments, in the evaluation process. All bidders must affirm compliance with labor, antidiscrimination, environmental laws, and various statutory requirements, including the Iran Linked Business provision and Clean Corporate Citizen certification. Contracts valued at $250,000 or greater require approval by the State Administrative Board. The RFP does not identify any incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor does it specify an exact award value or budget range; however, the contract's statewide scope and three-year initial term suggest a significant procurement. No specific infrastructure or technology integration requirements are mentioned in the available documentation. The solicitation emphasizes the State's evaluation of economic factors and veteran business status alongside pricing competitiveness.
