Reconstruction of Clinton River Trail and Clinton River Washout (2 projects)

The City of Rochester, located in Oakland County, Michigan, is seeking bids for the Reconstruction of Clinton River Trail, which involves two separate project locations: a trail washout west of Dequindre Road and a trail collapse east of Main Street. The procurement is for comprehensive trail rehabilitation, encompassing approximately 120 feet of trail embankment with detailed infrastructure restoration requirements. Specific deliverables include earthwork, drainage improvements, trail resurfacing, and landscape restoration, with key objectives focused on repairing trail sections damaged by environmental conditions. The project requires extensive technical capabilities, including excavation (3,430 cubic yards), embankment construction (4,930 cubic yards), limestone surface course installation (6,000 square yards), and careful environmental management. Bidders must submit comprehensive documentation including a Statement of Qualifications, Subcontractor List, and Project References demonstrating technical and financial competence. The bid is scheduled to be received on October 9, 2025, with a proposed substantial completion date of June 1, 2026, and final completion by June 15, 2026. Bid security of 5% of the total bid price is required, and the Owner reserves the right to award in full, in part, or not at all.

The procurement does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The project will be funded through local municipal resources, with detailed technical specifications and geotechnical investigation reports available in the bid documents. An EGLE permit for wetland and floodplain work is included, indicating significant environmental considerations. While no incumbent vendors are mentioned, the project involves utilizing approximately 5,000 cubic yards of clay material stored at the old Waste Water Treatment Plant. The bid documents suggest potential for partial awards, providing flexibility in contract allocation. Though a specific budget range is not disclosed, the comprehensive nature of the project—involving complex infrastructure rehabilitation, environmental restoration, and precise engineering work—implies a substantial investment. Bidders should be prepared to demonstrate advanced technical capabilities in trail reconstruction, soil erosion control, drainage management, and landscape restoration.
