RFP Northstar Facility Project

The State of Michigan, through the Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE), is issuing a Request for Proposal (RFP) for the Northstar Energy Multi-Facility Decommissioning, Flowline Abandonment, Removal of Electrical Infrastructure and Site Restoration Project. The project involves decommissioning, cleanup, and restoration of 10 former Northstar Energy facilities located in Charlevoix, Cheboygan, Montmorency, and Otsego Counties. The scope of work includes abandoning flowlines, removing electrical infrastructure, and preparing the sites for final grading and seeding. The RFP provides detailed pricing schedules for labor, equipment, and materials, and notes that federal funds and Davis-Bacon Act prevailing wage requirements will apply. Proposals are due by December 19, 2022, and the project is expected to be completed within 75 days of the contract start date.

The RFP indicates that the State will evaluate proposals based on technical criteria such as vendor experience, key personnel, and project planning, with pricing to be considered for proposals meeting the technical threshold. The State reserves the right to negotiate pricing and other contract terms with the selected contractor. While the RFP does not specify any set-aside designations, it notes that the contractor's qualified disabled veteran/service-disabled veteran owned business (QDV/SDVOB) status will be considered. The RFP does not provide information on any incumbent vendors or a budget range for the project.
