The Market at Cadillac Commons - Proposed Renovations and Toilet Room Addition

The City of Cadillac in Wexford County, Michigan, is seeking sealed bids for a comprehensive renovation project at The Market at Cadillac Commons, located at 117 W. Cass Street. The procurement involves two primary scopes: market enclosure and a toilet room addition, with specific deliverables including wall framing, overhead doors, electrical lighting rework, audiovisual system updates, and a new masonry toilet room addition with a matching roof system. Contractors must submit sealed bids by 10:00 AM on Friday, October 18, 2024, with a mandatory pre-bid conference and walk-through scheduled for Wednesday, October 2, 2024, at 10:00 AM at the project site. The contract documents, available electronically from The DK Design Group, specify detailed technical requirements for construction, including specific electrical, mechanical, and architectural specifications. Evaluation criteria are not explicitly detailed, but bidders must demonstrate compliance with technical specifications, provide a bid bond or certified check for 5% of the total bid, and meet all project requirements.

The procurement appears to have federal funding components, specifically through Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) sources, which introduces several regulatory requirements. Contractors must comply with Davis-Bacon prevailing wage rates, Section 3 employment requirements, and equal employment opportunity provisions. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly mentioned, the project includes strict labor standards and non-discrimination clauses. Performance and payment bonds will be required for 100% of the contract value, with project completion mandated by May 10, 2025. The contract will cover general, mechanical, and electrical trades work, with prevailing wage rates for Wexford County applicable to the project. Although a specific budget range is not provided, the comprehensive nature of the renovation and the multiple system upgrades suggest a substantial investment in modernizing The Market at Cadillac Commons.
