The work must adhere to GSD specifications and standards, with environmental compliance requiring review of Phase I and II Environmental Site Assessments and Development Control Plans, preparation of an Environmental Construction Management Plan, and attendance at up to two project meetings. The contract term is two years, beginning upon receipt of a Notice to Proceed, with any renewal subject to Detroit City Council approval and the Chief Procurement Officer’s signature.

Applicants must demonstrate at least five years of experience in similar projects, employ CPSI-certified playground installers, and ensure subcontractors meet the same experience threshold. Evaluation is weighted as follows: Experience/Qualifications (40%), Pricing (30%), Capacity (15%), and Solution/Approach/Schedule (15%), with additional Detroit-based business incentives applying post-evaluation. Payment is NET 30 days via ACH after invoice submission through Oracle Cloud with strict documentation requirements, including vendor details, contract and purchase order numbers, remittance information, and service dates. The contractor must provide 100% payment and performance bonds as mandated by Michigan law, maintain primary insurance naming the City as an additional insured, and comply with federal statutes including Davis-Bacon, Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act, and FAR provisions. All records must be retained for three years post-completion under GAAP, and failure to meet pass/fail criteria such as experience, insurer requirements, or responsiveness will result in disqualification.
