RFQ-171-260000000377-2 | 751/24215.JLM; Rose Lake S.G.A. - Facility Improvements

The solicitation RFQ-171-260000000377-2 for the Rose Lake S.G.A. Facility Improvements project, managed by the Michigan Department of Technology, Management and Budget (DTMB), seeks contractors to perform comprehensive mechanical system installations and facility upgrades at the DNR Rose Lake Field Office in East Lansing, Michigan. The work involves furnishing all materials, labor, equipment, and supervision to install, test, and commission systems in full compliance with industry standards including ASTM, UL, NFPA, ASME, and Michigan PA 451 Part 91, with a 5-year warranty on all materials and workmanship. All performance is site-specific, with inspections and acceptance occurring on-site upon substantial and final completion, and no off-site inspections are contemplated. Proposals must be submitted electronically through the SIGMA VSS portal by August 5, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. local time, and are limited to two attachments under 25 MB each, with no page or word count restrictions. The procurement is structured as a fixed-price competition under a Request for Quotation, with award based on best value rather than lowest price technically acceptable, favoring responsive and responsible bidders whose technical merit and performance history demonstrate superior value, especially for contracts exceeding $250,000. The contract includes stringent compliance mandates tied to state-specific regulations and socioeconomic preferences. At least 50% of project personnel must be Michigan residents with one year of continuous residency prior to employment, and contractors must comply with Michigan's Lead Abatement Act, federal EEO requirements under 41 CFR Part 60, and mandates to maximize use of EPA-designated recovered materials unless unavailable or cost-prohibitive. Bidders claiming Qualified Disabled Veteran status are eligible for a 10% price preference upon submission of DD214, VA rating letter, and proof of 51% ownership, while Michigan-based businesses may receive a competitive advantage after authorizing state verification of residency status. Performance and payment bonds must be provided, with sureties required to maintain an A.M. Best rating of A- or higher and Financial Size Category VII or above. No FAR clauses are applicable, as this is a state-level contract governed by Michigan-specific specifications, including general conditions, bonding requirements, and inspection protocols tied to ASTM, NFPA, and other non-military standards. The contract does not include traditional CLINs or detailed pricing tables
