RFQ-171-260000000422-4 | 751/22040.BDW; Petobego Dam Removal

The Petobego Dam Removal project, solicited by the Michigan Department of Technology, Management and Budget (DTMB) under RFQ-171-260000000422-4, involves comprehensive construction services including demolition, excavation, water control, and the installation of rock structures. The scope of work requires the contractor to provide all labor, materials, and equipment necessary to achieve substantial completion, adhering to MDOT Standard Specifications, the Michigan State Construction Code, and the Michigan Soil Erosion and Sedimentation Control Act. The estimated contract value ranges from 15,000 dollars for the base bid to 35,000 dollars when including a 20,000 dollar contingency allowance. Award is based on a best value trade-off approach rather than lowest price, evaluating factors such as technical capability, past performance, financial resources, and insurance capacity. Key contractual requirements include the presence of a full-time, owner-approved superintendent on-site and a mandate that at least 50 percent of the workforce be Michigan residents. Contractors must be registered in the SIGMA system with a valid Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) for electronic payments. Performance is monitored through site-based inspections and the submission of deliverables such as progress schedules and O&M manuals, with final acceptance contingent upon the resolution of punch list items and compliance with ASTM and AASHTO quality standards.
