Roof Insulation, Baraga Fire Garage

The Michigan Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is seeking a contractor to perform roof insulation work at the Baraga Field Office Garage located at 225 North Main St. in Baraga, Michigan. The procurement involves a minor construction project requiring the removal of existing foam insulation with proper disposal and installation of new open cell spray foam insulation to an R-30 rating across approximately 3,360 square feet of the roof deck's underside. Contractors must also install required fire protective coating over the exposed spray foam. A mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for March 8, 2018, at 10:30 a.m. on-site, with bid submissions due by March 16, 2018, at 2:00 p.m. local time. The project has a completion deadline of May 18, 2018. The state will award the contract to the most responsive and responsible bidder offering the best value, evaluated based on service quality, conformity with specifications, and suitability to state requirements. Bidders must obtain all necessary permits and comply with prevailing wage requirements for Baraga County, with specific wage rates detailed for various trades including asbestos/hazardous material handlers, carpenters, heat/frost insulators, laborers, and roofers.

The solicitation does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions on bidder types. A qualified senior spray insulator must be paid $29.04 per hour, with specified overtime rates. No incumbent vendors or existing contractors are mentioned in the documentation. The contract does not require bid security, performance bonds, or labor and material bonds, which may indicate a relatively low-value procurement. While a specific budget range is not provided, the scope of work suggests a modest project focused on a single facility's roof insulation upgrade. The jurisdictions associated with this opportunity include Arenac County and multiple Lansing City listings, though the actual project is located in Baraga. Contractors interested in bidding should carefully review the detailed specifications, prevailing wage requirements, and ensure they can meet the technical qualifications for spray foam insulation installation and fire protective coating application.
