As of October 5, 2023, an architect has been selected for the project.. A firm timeline for construction has not been established. *The closed solicitation has been included below for reference: The Michigan Department of Corrections (MDOC) is seeking proposals from qualified architectural / engineering firms to provide professional services for the design and construction administration of new replacement shower facilities at the Alger Correctional Facility (LMF). The project includes the removal and replacement of all existing shower stalls in each housing unit as well as the associated lighting, doors, and ventilation equipment. There are eight (8) shower stalls in each of the six (6) housing units. The existing showers are nearly thirty (30) years old and are in very poor condition making cleaning and maintenance difficult and expensive. The replacement sequence will allow the contractor to only upgrade one (1) set of showers per housing unit at a time, six (6) showers to remain in service at all times. The Pine and Spruce Housing Units must have ADA accessible units on the lower level of the units. The Department of Corrections have requested to work with I-CON Systems, Inc. for the one-piece shower inserts and controls / fixtures as the basis of design and the products to be specified shall be stainless steel. Mark Holmes is the initial contact with I-CON, and he may be reached at 615.587.5994. It is desired that the wall and flooring tile in the changing area be removed and replaced. The Department of Corrections has currently budgeted $572,000 for this project. The demolition of the existing shower areas shall comply with all National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) requirements for demolition projects. This work is located at an operating correctional facility, and work will be located in areas considered to be within the secure perimeter. Work within secure perimeter requires escorts coordinated with the Alger Correctional Facility custody staff. Access in all locations is strictly controlled, monitored, and may be subject to delays due to both test and actual mobilizations by correctional personnel that necessitates work shutdown. Vehicle access and use on correctional facility property is strictly controlled, requires escorts, and must be coordinated in advance. Tool and equipment use requires regular and routine inventorying. Prior LEIN clearances, DOC facility orientation video training, and site sign-in and sign-out with LMF staff are mandatory for all project personnel. Please do not submit online questions via VSS.
