Waste Water Treatment Plant Lean-to

The City of Hillsdale, Michigan, through its Board of Public Utilities (BPU), is seeking sealed proposals for the construction of two lean-to type wood frame buildings at the Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP) located at 101 W. Galloway Dr. The procurement involves two separate structures: a 14' x 35' (490 SF) Materials Storage Lean-to 'A' and a 14' x 40' (560 SF) Equipment Storage Lean-to 'B', both to be attached to existing buildings. Bidders must submit proposals by 2:00 pm local time on March 27, 2025, at Hillsdale City Hall, with a proposed project schedule including a BPU Board Presentation on April 8, 2025, and anticipated City Council contract award on April 21, 2025. Contractors must provide a 5% Bid Bond and will be required to furnish Performance, Maintenance, and Labor and Material Bonds upon contract award. The project specifications mandate specific materials including Douglas Fir-Larch wood, 26-gauge metal roofing, and 3,500 psi air-entrained concrete, with construction to be completed by August 15, 2025. Interested parties can coordinate site visits by contacting Craig at the WWTP at 517-437-3648.

The procurement does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Contractors must provide comprehensive insurance coverage, including workers' compensation, general liability, and auto liability with specified minimum coverage amounts. The project will follow 2020 MDOT Standard Specifications for Construction and requires permits from the Hillsdale County Inspection Department. While a specific budget range is not detailed, the bid structure allows for unit costs to be submitted for mobilization (maximum 5% of bid), permit fees, and building construction. The project will utilize a lump sum payment method, with the total cost to be funded by the City of Hillsdale, including a contingency amount for unexpected circumstances or field changes. Contractors must comply with local, state, and federal regulations and the City of Hillsdale's safety policies.
