Solicitation 751/26170.MDL, issued by the Michigan Department of Technology, Management and Budget for the Department of Natural Resources, is for water and sanitary improvements at Muskallonge Lake State Park.

Deliverables include complete installation, operation, and maintenance manuals, as well as project-specific calculations. The contract will be awarded to the responsive and responsible best value bidder, with a primary focus on the lowest bid for contracts under 250,000 dollars. Bidders must submit responses via the SIGMA VSS portal by December 9, 2026, and must provide proof of State Project Registration. Key requirements include a 5 percent bid security, performance and payment bonds for bids exceeding 50,000 dollars, and builders risk insurance. Special preferences are available for Qualified Disabled Veteran businesses and Michigan-based businesses, provided the required certifications and legal documentation are submitted.
