Waste Water Plant Ferrous Room Rehabilitation

The City of Hillsdale and the Board of Public Utilities (BPU) are seeking proposals for the rehabilitation of an 18'x28' Ferrous Tank room located at the Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP) at 101 W. Galloway Dr. The procurement involves constructing two new door openings in the existing building wall and completing comprehensive demolition and rehabilitation of the Ferrous Tank room. Contractors must perform all work in accordance with project drawings, specifications, and applicable federal, state, and local construction codes. Key deliverables include installing new concrete floors, modifying wall and door configurations, and protecting existing electrical infrastructure. The proposal submission deadline is May 6, 2025, at 2:00 pm local time, to be delivered to the Hillsdale City Hall Office of the City Clerk. Prospective bidders are required to contact Craig at 517-437-3648 to coordinate a site visit. The proposed project schedule includes a BPU Board Presentation on May 13, 2025, anticipated City Council contract award on May 19, 2025, with construction to be completed by October 1, 2025.

Contractors must provide comprehensive insurance coverage, including Comprehensive General Public Liability Insurance with minimum limits of $500,000 per person, $1,000,000 per accident, and $2,000,000 Excess Liability, as well as Comprehensive Auto Liability insurance. Performance, Maintenance, and Labor and Material Bonds are mandatory. The project emphasizes local economic considerations, with a preference for hiring local labor and purchasing materials from local dealers when possible. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly mentioned, the bid specification suggests a commitment to local economic participation. The contract will be awarded on a lump sum basis, with a contingency amount available to the city for unknown circumstances or agreed-upon changes. Although a specific budget range is not provided, the detailed rehabilitation scope and requirements suggest a substantial municipal infrastructure investment. Interested contractors should carefully review the bid specification and project drawings to ensure compliance with all technical and administrative requirements.
