Bidders must provide a base bid and may offer voluntary alternates for annual maintenance pricing, which will be used to evaluate the total cost of ownership. Financial requirements include a 5% bid security and 100% performance and payment bonds upon selection. Payments will be processed monthly via approved AIA forms, subject to a 10% retainage until final project completion. Proposals must be submitted in both a bound hard copy and on a USB drive, including a notarized Michigan Familial Disclosure Statement and a detailed project schedule created in Microsoft Project.
