RFP-DET-260000002457-1 | 27-0015 General Contractor for Cass Tech Athletic Field Reno

The contract solicitation RFP-DET-260000002457-1 seeks a general contractor to undertake a comprehensive renovation of the Cass Tech Athletic Field in Detroit, Michigan, under the Detroit Public Schools Community District. The project scope includes full site demolition, installation of synthetic turf with a shock pad, new drainage systems featuring 6-inch perforated drain tile and geotextile fabric, construction of primary and secondary visitor bleachers, upgraded lighting and scoreboards, new chain-link fencing, asphalt and concrete paving, renovations to locker rooms and concessions buildings, and backfilling of abandoned underground utilities. All work must comply with Michigan Public Act 10 of 2023, requiring adherence to Wayne County prevailing wage rates and submission of certified payroll records. The solicitation is structured around a fixed-price methodology with a mandatory bid proposal form that requires unit pricing for materials such as 4G aggregate base stone and perforated drain tile, alongside required alternates for press box flooring, bleachers, and other items. Five project allowances totaling $432,000 are specified for permitting, contaminated soil removal, stormwater piping, soil undercut, and dewatering, though base bid pricing and overhead/profit margins remain unquantified in the template. No formal FAR clauses, evaluation factors, or award methodology are defined in the solicitation beyond the requirement for a sworn, notarized bid submission confirming understanding of all requirements and adequacy of compensation. The document lacks specific contract administration details such as payment offices, contracting officer representatives, accounting codes, or invoicing systems, and contains no mention of small business set-asides, UEI or CAGE certifications, or socioeconomic statuses. While the submission deadline is August 21, 2026, the performance period, delivery terms, and FOB conditions are not outlined. The proposal must follow Attachment F’s structure, which serves as the sole required form, and no additional attachments, packaging requirements, or inspection standards are detailed beyond general obligations to comply with project specifications and prevailing wage laws. All pricing fields in the bid form remain blank, suggesting the solicitation is a template for bidders to fill in their own estimates, with no pre-determined contract value beyond the stated allowances.
