The City of St. Clair Shores, Michigan is seeking proposals for the Selinsky Green Farmhouse Chimney Foundation and Masonry Repair Project, a historic preservation construction initiative located at 22504 East 11 Mile Road. This procurement involves professional masonry repair services, including a comprehensive chimney restoration that requires visual assessment, pier footing construction, complete brick chimney repair from foundation to cap, and both interior and exterior chimney rehabilitation. A mandatory site meeting is scheduled for February 13, 2025, at 1 PM, with sealed bids due to the City Clerk by 10:30 AM EST on February 25, 2025. The project has a substantial completion deadline of May 31, 2025.

Bidders must submit five required documentation sets, including a detailed proposal, signed exhibits, an itemized bid sheet, signed addendums, and a flash drive containing all submitted documents.

The procurement does not explicitly indicate specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Bidders must maintain specific insurance coverage with minimum liability limits and comply with various legal and regulatory requirements. While no incumbent vendor is mentioned, the contract will be awarded to the most qualified bidder, with the understanding that the lowest price will not automatically determine selection. The city reserves the right to reject any or all proposals and to waive any informalities in the bidding process. Though a specific budget range is not provided, the project involves a complex historic restoration requiring specialized masonry and foundation repair expertise. Potential contractors should have demonstrated experience in historic building preservation, structural repair, and the technical capabilities to execute a comprehensive chimney restoration project within the prescribed timeline and specifications.
