Replace 2 docks at MSPHQ and 1 dock at SOS Building.

The State of Michigan Department of Technology, Management and Budget (DTMB) is seeking a contractor to replace dock levelers at two locations in Dimondale, Michigan. Specifically, the procurement involves purchasing and installing three Rite-Hite RHH4000 Dock Levelers: two units at 7150 Harris Drive and one unit at 7064 Crowner Drive. The project requires bidders to submit separate pricing for equipment and labor costs, with detailed warranty information. Bidders were initially required to submit questions by October 27, 2017, at 12:00 PM, with final bids due October 31, 2017, at 3:00 PM. Potential vendors may be required to conduct a site visit for field measurements before submitting final proposals. The State will assess liquidated damages of $5,000 plus $100 per day for late or improper completion, and has established key personnel requirements including a $25,000 unauthorized removal credit per individual and potential additional penalties for inadequate transition shadowing.

The procurement documents do not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. Payment will be processed via electronic funds transfer (EFT) or manual check, with standard net 45-day payment terms. The State will not provide additional compensation for overtime, holiday pay, or travel expenses. While a specific contract value is not disclosed, the project involves precise equipment installation with strict performance standards. The jurisdictions involved include Eaton County and Detroit City, indicating a state-level procurement with potential multi-county implications. The contract appears to be a short-term project focused on specific infrastructure improvements, with the primary objective of replacing existing dock levelers at two state facility locations. Vendors should be prepared to meet rigorous technical specifications and comply with the State of Michigan's standard contract terms.
