Request for Proposal Parking Lot Repair, Removal, Replacemen

The state and local contract opportunity is a Request for Proposal (RFP) for parking lot repair, removal, and replacement located in Whitehall City, Berrien County, Michigan. The procurement seeks a contractor to complete comprehensive parking lot renovation services, including removing and replacing approximately 13,708 square feet of asphalt in two designated areas, sawcutting 210 linear feet of existing asphalt to a 4-inch depth, and performing full base grading and compaction. The project requires installing four inches of compacted surface HMA asphalt and modifying sidewalk infrastructure, which includes replacing approximately 1,861 square feet of eight-foot concrete sidewalk with 930 square feet of new concrete or asphalt sidewalk. An alternate bid option allows for asphalt substitution in sidewalk areas. Additional project requirements include installing new striping with angle stripes, handicap spaces, stop bars, and directional arrows. The RFP was posted on July 25, 2019, with proposals due by August 8, 2019, at 11:00 a.m., and mandates that all work be completed in a single mobilization. Bidders must submit two signed copies of the bid form and include a bid security of 1/20 of the total bid amount, along with a familial disclosure affidavit.

The RFP does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Bidders are required to specify their legal status, which can be an individual, partnership, corporation, or limited liability company. The procurement allows for potential additional work through unit pricing, and the bid prices must remain firm for 90 days from the bid opening. The successful bidder will be expected to execute the contract agreement within seven days of notification. While the specific budget range is not detailed in the provided documentation, the project involves substantial infrastructure modifications. The contracting authority (which appears to be Waterford Montessori Academy, though this seems inconsistent with the jurisdictional information) reserves the right to reject any or all bids and to waive informalities in the bidding process. No information is provided about incumbent vendors or existing technological infrastructure that might require integration with the new parking lot improvements.
