Bidders must submit their proposals electronically via the SIGMA VSS portal by June 10, 2026, at 2:00 PM local time, with a maximum of two attachments not exceeding 25 MB each, ideally consolidated into a single PDF.

Certification requirements include proof of QDV ownership with supporting documentation, Michigan business presence through tax verification, and asbestos abatement attestations if applicable. Bidder integrity is strictly monitored through criminal background checks, and failure to disclose prior convictions can lead to disqualification.
