9-Mile Pump Station

• The description replaces Section 01 20 00, Price and Payment Procedures, with Section 01 11 00, Summary of Work, and adds Section 01 57 19, Temporary Environmental Controls. The updated text no longer includes the prior schedule-of-values, defect-payment adjustment, or individual payment-item terms; applicants should check the complete bid documents for current pricing and payment requirements.
• The stated scope now specifies 615 cfs of pumping capacity, multiple pumps of different capacities, and backup power from diesel and natural-gas generators, alongside related electrical, mechanical, site, utility, culvert, and restoration work.
• New site requirements include notifying MISS DIG three working days before excavation, scanning and marking unlocated utilities, and notifying the Contracting Officer at least 15 days before excavation.
• Flow constraints are specified: keep two 9 Mile Drain bypass barrels operating, with one-barrel operation allowed only November through February during box-culvert transition work; complete concrete repairs before removing a barrel. The Chapaton RTB must remain available for wet-weather events, and equipment and materials must be removed daily.
• The Government has obtained three EGLE permits; the contractor must obtain other listed local permits. City permits have no cost, but building/trade permits require a refundable $2,000 bond. Government-furnished equipment requires 30 days’ advance notice and pickup within 30 days after the requested date.

The open date moved from September 18, 2026 to September 24, 2026, a delay of 6 days.

Why it matters: The application window now starts later. No close date change was provided, so if the deadline stays the same, applicants have 6 fewer days to submit. If the close date was also extended, the total window may be unchanged, so check the listing for the current deadline.

What to do:

• Don't plan to submit before September 24. The portal likely won't accept applications until then.
• Use the extra days to prepare materials, but confirm the close date. If it hasn't moved, adjust your internal schedule to fit the shorter window.
• Watch for further amendments, since the open date has already shifted once.

The close date moved from October 2, 2026 to October 15, 2026, an extension of 13 days (just under two weeks).

Applicants have more time to respond. For business development teams, the extra time could be used to:

• Refine the technical approach and budget.
• Line up teaming partners, subcontractors, or letters of support.
• Complete required registrations or internal approvals.

The change only affects the deadline. The notice lists no changes to requirements, funding amounts, or eligibility. Applicants who were already on track for October 2 can submit early or use the added time to strengthen the proposal. Plan around the new October 15 date, and confirm the submission time and portal requirements in the solicitation, since this change does not state a time of day.

Description information changed.

Technical architectural and electrical drawings for the 9 Mile Pump Station project have been added to the opportunity, replacing an amendment notice.
