South building-lower level office renovations

The City of Flint, Michigan's Finance Department of Purchases & Supplies is seeking sealed bids for a comprehensive South Building Lower-Level Office Renovations project in Genesee County. The procurement involves a full-scale office renovation requiring a qualified contractor to provide complete labor, materials, equipment, and supervision for transforming the space. Specific project deliverables include interior finishes such as window treatments, carpet replacement, painting, and ceiling tile updates, along with a complete furniture package and extensive electrical work involving infrastructure demolition, LED fixture installation, and data/electrical outlet modifications. A mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for May 21, 2025, at 10am EST in the McKenzie Conference Room, with final bids due on June 4, 2025, at 11:00 AM EST. The City will evaluate proposals based on multiple factors including cost, serviceability, financial stability, and overall best interest of the city, with bidders required to submit one original signed proposal, two unbound copies, and one electronic copy. Proposals must include a detailed project timeline, comprehensive proposal details, and completed exhibits demonstrating qualifications, insurance certificates, and non-collusion affidavits.

The solicitation does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises, though standard municipal procurement practices typically encourage diverse vendor participation. An optional bathroom renovation is included as a separate bid alternate, with the project emphasizing ADA compliance throughout the renovation. While specific budget ranges are not definitively stated, the RFP includes a detailed cost breakdown with lump sum pricing categories covering general construction conditions, interior finishes, furniture package, electrical work, and a 10% construction contingency. The project appears to be a complete renovation of the South Building's lower-level office space, suggesting a potentially significant investment in municipal infrastructure modernization. Interested contractors will need to demonstrate robust qualifications, financial stability, and the technical capability to execute a comprehensive office renovation project that meets the City of Flint's specific requirements and standards.
