Prahl College Center Testing & Inspection

Mott Community College (MCC), in collaboration with Clark Construction Company, is seeking a qualified testing and inspection agency for the Prahl College Center renovation project located at 1401 East Court Street in downtown Flint, Michigan. The Request for Proposal (RFP-KD-1025-Prahl-Testing_Inspection) solicits comprehensive testing and inspection services across multiple construction trades, including sitework, utility trench backfill, foundations, concrete, structural steel, and pavement work. Proposing firms must demonstrate a minimum of five years of successful experience in similar projects and provide detailed documentation including references, conflict of interest disclosures, litigation history, and health and safety violation records. The proposal must include a comprehensive breakdown of testing and inspection services, encompassing anticipated time commitments, personnel rates, equipment fees, and laboratory charges. Proposals are due on Tuesday, October 21, 2025, at 11:00 AM Eastern Standard Time, with the contract to be awarded to the lowest-priced, most responsive, and responsible proposal. The project timeline spans from January 31, 2025, to August 23, 2027, with construction start scheduled for November 10, 2025.

While no specific set-aside designations or enterprise restrictions are explicitly mentioned in the documentation, the RFP emphasizes independent pricing and non-collusion compliance with state and federal regulations. The project involves a significant campus renovation at Mott Community College, with Clark Construction Company serving as the primary contractor and Integrated Design Solutions (IDS) providing architectural and engineering specifications. The project will involve substantial site modifications, including the removal of two trees, creation of temporary sidewalks, and establishment of a construction fence, with anticipated loss of 77 parking spaces during construction. Although no specific budget range is directly stated, the comprehensive nature of the project, involving multiple building levels and complex renovation work, suggests a substantial investment. The project includes detailed technical specifications for structural steel framing, thermal insulation, weather barriers, and specialized wall panel systems, indicating a complex and potentially high-value construction initiative.
