RFP Bid Posting - Delta County

Delta County is procuring a construction project for a new 784 square foot restroom and shower facility at the U.P. State Fairgrounds in Escanaba, Michigan. The project is funded through Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund Grant Number TF19-0109, with Dynamic Design Group serving as the engineering consultant. The facility will include men's and women's restrooms, individual shower rooms, a family room, and a maintenance room, designed to serve 467 total campsites. Specifications require compliance with 2021 Michigan Building Code, Michigan Mechanical and Plumbing Codes, and 2023 National Electric Code. The project offers two construction timeline options: a base bid for Spring 2026 construction with completion by July 24, 2026, or an alternate bid for Fall 2025 construction with completion by December 31, 2025. Mandatory pre-bid meetings were held on July 29-30, 2025, and sealed bids are due on August 8, 2025, at 10:00 A.M. EST, with bid opening at 10:15 A.M. the same day.

The contract requires a 5% bid security via certified check or bid bond, with performance and payment bonds equal to 100% of the contract price. No specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly mentioned, though the project requires compliance with Michigan civil rights acts, including the Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act and Persons with Disabilities Civil Rights Act. The project does not follow prevailing wage rates as determined by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources. Hard copy plans and specifications are available for $250 plus $25 shipping, with electronic copies priced at $50 plus $15 shipping. While a specific contract value was not disclosed, the comprehensive nature of the project involves extensive site work, utility connections, concrete sidewalks, landscaping, and a 70-foot fence installation. Contractors will need to provide all materials and labor for complete installation, coordinate with local utility providers, and adhere to strict construction and accessibility standards.
