Solicitation 472/26527.ABG is a Request for Qualifications issued by the Michigan Department of Technology, Management and Budget (DTMB) for preconstruction and construction management services. The project focuses on capacity realignment for the Michigan Department of Corrections at two specific locations: the Oaks Correctional Facility in Manistee, which involves a two-story building with 240 Housing Level IV beds, and the St. Louis Correctional Facility, which involves a building with 176 Housing Level V beds. The project timeline spans from preliminary design through 2027, with construction starting in Spring 2028, substantial completion by December 2029, and final move-in by Spring 2030. Conceptual estimates for the St. Louis facility are approximately 73.8 million dollars, while the Oaks facility includes detailed cost breakdowns for concrete, masonry, and detention equipment, with an 8% escalation factor applied for a 2027 bid date. Qualified firms must submit their responses via the SIGMA VSS portal by November 19, 2026. Proposals must demonstrate significant experience, including at least three projects of similar scope completed within the last 10 years valued at 50 million dollars or more. Key personnel requirements include a Project Manager, Superintendent, and Pre-construction Lead. Technical specifications emphasize high-security needs, including structural hardening, AI surveillance, trauma-informed design, and expanded ADA-accessible cell counts. Additionally, the contract mandates strict electrical labeling and color-coding standards for raceways, conduits, and equipment nameplates to ensure clear identification of power, fire alarm, and security systems.
