Parking Ramp Demolition

Mott Community College (MCC) is seeking a qualified contractor for a comprehensive demolition and reconstruction project of Ramp G, a multi-story parking structure located at 1401 East Court Street in Flint, Michigan. The project requires a contractor with at least five years of experience in similar demolition and surface lot reconstruction efforts, involving concrete, electrical, earthwork, exterior improvements, utilities, and transportation work. A mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for October 8, 2025, at 1:00 PM E.S.T., and only contractors attending this meeting will be eligible to submit bids. The project timeline indicates a start date of December 1, 2025, with substantial completion expected by August 14, 2026, and full completion by August 26, 2026. Bidders must submit a comprehensive package including a 5% bid bond, proof of insurance, and compliance with Davis-Bacon Act prevailing wage requirements. The project involves detailed hazardous materials remediation, including asbestos and PCB removal, and requires adherence to multiple environmental permits from the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) and the Genesee County Drain Commissioner.

The procurement appears open to all qualified contractors without specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. Contractors must provide extensive documentation, including comprehensive insurance coverage spanning worker's compensation, employer's liability, automobile liability, and commercial general liability. The project involves complex environmental and technical requirements, including soil erosion control, floodplain management, and specific reconstruction specifications detailed in geotechnical reports. While exact budget figures are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the project—involving complete parking structure demolition, hazardous material abatement, and surface lot reconstruction—suggests a significant capital investment. The evaluation criteria will focus on the lowest-priced, most responsive, and responsible bid, with MCC's Board of Trustees expected to approve the contract on November 25, 2025. Technical specifications require compliance with Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) standards and include detailed provisions for site restoration, compaction, and landscaping. The project encompasses approximately 487 cubic yards of fill and 507 cubic yards of cut within the 100-year floodplain, indicating a substantial infrastructure renewal effort.
