Replacement Modular Home

The Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians (GTB) is seeking bid proposals for a replacement modular home project located in East Jordan, Michigan, within Cass County. The procurement involves purchasing and installing a single-level modular home with specific requirements, including 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, a living room, front deck, and steps, to be placed on an existing crawlspace at 10155 #A Wa Ba Noong Mi-Kun. Bidders must provide detailed drawings, a completed GTB Bid Form, and company W-9, with proposals due by 2:00 p.m. on December 20, 2024. The project has a completion deadline of September 1, 2025 or earlier, and requires comprehensive services including labor, materials, permits, utility connections, and installations of a new furnace, electric water heater, electric range, and washer/dryer hookups. Evaluation criteria appear to focus on cost reasonableness, with federal grant funding prohibiting luxury materials unless their cost is substantially similar to standard grade items.

The contract opportunity appears open to individuals and firms without specific set-aside designations, though there are significant insurance and compliance requirements that may limit potential bidders. Contractors must maintain Commercial General Liability insurance of $150,000 per person and $1,000,000 per occurrence, Worker's Compensation Insurance of at least $100,000 per employee, and Automotive Insurance with minimums of $100,000/$300,000 for bodily injury and $50,000 for property damage. The project is subject to Davis-Bacon Act prevailing wage requirements, and bids exceeding $500,000 will necessitate additional bonding. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the comprehensive requirements and federal funding suggest a potentially substantial project value. The procurement is funded through federal grant funds, which introduces additional regulatory compliance considerations for potential contractors.
