2. RFP Overview and Schedule

Wayne State University (WSU) requests proposals from skilled trade and specialty contractors to support small University renovation projects across campus. It is the University’s intent to award contracts to multiple contractors for multiple construction trades. These contractors must self-perform and manage their work to support the construction. Overall project coordination will be done by University staff. Upon execution of the contracts, the University will issue blanket purchase orders to each selected firm. Work will be distributed to the contractors by the University. Work performed by the contractors will be paid on a time and material basis, as further described within the RFP, unless lump sum bids are requested for specific work scope.

3. Scope of Work

A. Background

The University’s Design and Construction Services (D&CS) Department is responsible for managing all stages of construction on campus. The department has a small capital construction project team that provides general improvement construction project management. Projects managed by this group are typically customer funded and could range from $500 up to approximately $50,000 worth of work for a single trade contractor. This RFP is intended to enter into agreements with trade contractors to support these projects.

B. Scope

The contractors will provide construction services and will be responsible for coordinating work amongst their tradespeople. Trades included in this RFP are listed below. Responding firms may respond to any of these trades and are not obligated to respond to all of them

1. Flooring; Epoxy and Concrete Polishing

2. Flooring; Carpet, VCT, LVT, Ceramic

Typical tasks may include any combination of the above trades and may be simple or involved. Services will be requested on an as-needed basis and work will be assigned on a discretionary basis. The existence of a contract does not obligate the University in any way relative to the quantity of work assigned to each contractor. The University intends to select from 1 to 3 contractors per trade as a result of this RFP. Successful contractors will be issued a blanket contract and individual work tasks will be assigned via project specific Purchase Orders (POs), depending on the size of the tasks.

The awarded contractors will be required to provide adequate personnel in a timely fashion to perform assigned projects. Additionally, the contractor will be required to provide timely daily reports and detailed project invoices, as further detailed in the contract and within this RFP. Services provided by this contract shall include all meetings and correspondence to support the construction activities. The University expects the contractors to assist the University in many aspects of the work, including, but not limited to: optimization of project scope, project duration and project cost.

All work order assignments should be treated as if the space is occupied. It is expected that each trade will have and use a shop vacuum, dust protection, and/or temporary partitions as necessary to contain and clean project sites. Each contractor is expected to maintain the worksite free of any debris, resulting from their scope of work. Daily cleaning of the site is expected. University dumpsters may not be used for construction debris. If a site-specific dumpster is necessary, placement will be coordinated with the assigned WSU Project Manager.

C. Subcontractors

Each contractor is required to self-perform all work and not use any subcontractors unless approved in advance by the University’s project manager.

D. Vendor Performance

The University reserves the right to adjust the amount of work assigned to contractors based on past performance by the vendors under this contract. The University plans to hold annual performance reviews on each vendor to document vendor performance. The form in Appendix D will be used for the evaluation. The evaluation will be conducted by University project management staff.

4. Cost of the Work

A. Payment to Contractor

Payment to the contractors for work performed will be based on the actual cost of time and materials, unless otherwise approved as noted below under lump sum pricing. All costs reimbursed to the contractor for time and material work will be based on actual costs, as detailed below.

B. Wayne State University Wage Rate Schedule

POLICY

Wayne State University requires all project contractors, including subcontractors, who provide labor on University projects to compensate at a rate no less than WSU wage rates.

The rates of wages and fringe benefits to be paid to each class of laborers and mechanics by each VENDOR and subcontractor(s) (if any) shall be not less than the wage and fringe benefit rates prevailing in Wayne County, Michigan, as determined by the United States Secretary of Labor. Individually contracted labor commonly referred to as “1099 Workers” and subcontractors using 1099 workers are not acceptable for work on any of Wayne State’s properties. Rates for all counties are available at https://wdolhome.sam.gov/, and Procurement will post the schedules quarterly that pertain to Wayne County on its website at https://procurement.wayne.edu/vendors/wage-rates.

Certified Payroll must be provided for each of the contractor’s or subcontractor’s payroll periods for work performed on any University project. Certified Payroll must accompany Pay Applications, and be fully reconciled with the final Pay Application. Failure to provide certified payroll will constitute a material breach of contract, and pay applications will be returned unpaid, and remain unpaid until satisfactory supporting documents are provided.

Additional information can be found on the University Procurement & Strategic Sourcing’s web site at the following URL address: https://procurement.wayne.edu/vendors/wage-rates

PROCEDURE

Construction Bids and other Bids or Proposals for work that includes construction shall contain a WSU Wage Rate clause outlining a contractor’s responsibilities under University policy. Each bid solicitation shall include reference to the most current wage determination schedule that contractors can use when preparing their bids.

When compensation will be paid under WSU Wage Rate requirements, the University shall require the following:

The contractor shall obtain and keep an accurate record showing the name and occupation of and the actual wages and benefits paid to each laborer and mechanic employed in connection with this contract.

The contractor shall submit a completed certified payroll document [U.S. Department of Labor Form WH 347] verifying and confirming the WSU Wage and benefits rates for all employees and subcontractors for each payroll period for work performed on this project. The certified payroll form can be downloaded from the Department of Labor website at http://www.dol.gov/whd/forms/wh347.pdf .

A properly executed sworn statement is required from all tiers of contractors, sub-contractors and suppliers which provide services or product of $10,000.00 or greater. Sworn statements must accompany applications for payment. All listed parties on a sworn statement as a subcontractor must submit Partial or Full Conditional Waivers for the amounts invoiced on the payment application. A copy of the acceptable WSU Sworn Statement and Waiver will be provided to the awarded contractor.

If the VENDOR or subcontractor fails to pay the WSU rates of wages and fringe benefits and does not cure such failure within 10 days after notice to do so by the UNIVERSITY, the UNIVERSITY shall have the right, at its option, to do any or all of the following:

Withhold a portion of payments due the VENDOR as may be considered necessary by the UNIVERSITY to pay laborers and mechanics the difference between the rates of wages and fringe benefits required by this contract and the actual wages and fringe benefits paid.

Terminate the contract and proceed to complete the contract by separate agreement with another vendor or otherwise, in which case the VENDOR and its sureties shall be liable to the UNIVERSITY for any excess costs incurred by the UNIVERSITY.

Propose to the Associate Vice President for Business Services / Procurement that the Vendor be considered for Debarment in accordance with the University’s Debarment Policy, found on our website at https://policies.wayne.edu/appm/2-8-debarment-policy-on-non-responsible-vendor-in-procurement-transactions
