RFQ-171-260000000386-1 | 761/23415.SAR; Michner Plating Building Demolition

The solicitation RFQ-171-260000000386-1 seeks bids for the demolition of the Michner Plating Building in Michigan, managed by the Department of Transportation, Michigan Bureau (DTMB), with work to be performed at an unspecified site across Various, MI. The contract is a state-level procurement under NAICS code 238910, evaluated on a best-value basis rather than lowest price technically acceptable, allowing trade-offs between technical merit and cost. Proposals must demonstrate compliance with bid specifications, financial stability, technical capability, experience, insurance and bonding capacity, business integrity, and past performance—particularly regarding prior DTMB contracts and any MIOSHA or OSHA violations within the last three years. Only the three lowest responsive bidders and those within 10% of the lowest bid are subject to qualitative evaluation. A 10% price preference is applied to qualified disabled veteran-owned businesses after the best-value determination. Contractors must be Michigan-based businesses, especially if bidding over $100,000, and must certify ownership and control by qualified disabled veterans if claiming preference, with mandatory submission of DD214, VA disability documentation, and proof of ownership. At least half the workforce must be Michigan residents for one year prior to employment, and employment reports must be filed with the Michigan Civil Rights Commission. All work must adhere to MDOT 2012 Standard Specifications, MI NREPA, and ASTM standards, with strict environmental and safety compliance including AHERA and OSHA 1910.1001 protocols for asbestos identification, sampling, and clearance testing using NVLAP-accredited labs and polarized light microscopy. Demolition includes site preparation, asbestos abatement, waste disposal, pit and drain plugging with concrete or gravel, and full site restoration to pre-construction conditions, including topsoil replacement and reseeding. Performance is measured in calendar days, beginning upon Notice-to-Proceed, with a typical duration of 45 days for certain scopes. All payments are made via Electronic Funds Transfer through SIGMA VSS using Form DTMB-0440, with no federal invoice systems like WAWF required. Special requirements include 24-hour advance notice for after-hours work, security guards for unsecured areas, submission of a detailed project schedule, health and safety plan aligned with OSHA and RCRA, and procurement of all permits prior to work commencement.
