Saginaw - Concrete and Brick Replacement Project

The State of Michigan, Department of Technology, Management and Budget, through its Financial Services and Procurement division, issued a Request for Proposal (RFP 171 20000001185) for concrete and brick replacement services at the Saginaw State Office Building located at 411 E. Genesee, Saginaw, Michigan 48607. The procurement seeks a licensed contractor to remove and replace concrete in multiple areas including a 5' x 120' parking lot walkway, ADA ramps on the north and south sides, a 30' x 30' L-shaped parking lot curb area, an optional 12' x 120' northeast walkway, a 12' x 12' northeast walk-off ramp, a 45' x 30' south entrance area, a north entrance ADA ramp patch and repair area, and a 10' x 60' concrete section in the northwest corner of the building. The contractor must also remove and replace brick retaining walls around the facility, including a 60' x 15' handicap retaining wall, two brick repair areas of approximately 10' x 20' and 4' x 4', and a 60' x 30' brick replacement and tuck-pointing area. All new concrete must be 4000 psi mix with fiber-mesh to a depth of 4 inches, and installation must occur during standard business hours from 7:30 AM to 5:00 PM. The RFP required mandatory attendance at a pre-proposal site visit on March 5, 2020 at 10:00 AM, with vendor questions due by March 6, 2020 at 12:00 PM and proposals due by March 17, 2020 at 12:00 PM Eastern Time. The state evaluates proposals based on technical criteria weighted as follows: General Requirements (40 points), Service Levels (30 points), Project Plan (20 points), and Vendor Questions Worksheet (10 points), with proposals requiring a minimum score of 80 points to advance to pricing evaluation. Contractors must submit detailed pricing breakdowns for concrete labor charges, concrete material charges, and brick material charges in a modifiable format, including all costs for materials, labor, saw cutting, sand installation, compaction, fiber-mesh concrete installation, expansion joints, cleanup, and disposal.

The RFP does not specify set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent types; however, the State of Michigan reserves the right to consider prior performance, economic impact to Michigan, total cost of ownership, and qualified disabled veteran/service-disabled veteran-owned business status in its award decision, suggesting a preference for such enterprises. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the procurement documents. Contractors must maintain Commercial General Liability Insurance with minimum limits of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 general aggregate, $5,000,000 Umbrella/Excess Liability Insurance, $1,000,000 Automobile Liability Insurance, and Workers' Compensation coverage, with the State of Michigan named as an additional insured. The RFP materials do not specify a contract award value or budget range; however, the scope of work encompasses substantial concrete and brick replacement across multiple areas of the state office building, with over 1,600 replacement bricks from Belding Brick available on site. Liquidated damages are assessed at $5,000 plus $100 per day for late or improper completion, and $1,000 per individual per day for unauthorized removal of key personnel, indicating significant performance expectations. Payment will be made via Electronic Funds Transfer within 45 days of invoice receipt, and all installation work must comply with prevailing wage requirements where applicable.
