Dear Asphalt Contractor:

The County of Monroe is accepting proposals for asphalt paving at Vienna County Park. The

parking lot.

completed are enclosed as part of this Request for Proposal. Each contractor shall confirm all

dimensions in the field prior to submitting a proposal. The site is readily accessible for you to

gain access to the work area any time during normal workday hours including weekends,

generally from 8:00 a.m. until 9:00 p.m.

Contractors are to review the enclosed documents during the preparation of proposals and

The County has outlined in the project scope the general specifications of the work; however,

the contractor will have the responsibility to specify exactly what is proposed and note any

deviations to what the County has specified. All contractors shall submit responses on the

Proposal Form provided and as directed in submittal options below.

The work is to be coordinated with the County as to schedule, staging/storing of equipment and

machinery, materials, the safety precautions and barricading the areas during the construction

period and access to the site. Advance notice to the County of the work is required to allow for

continued but limited operations at the park while the work is in progress.

The work may be completed during the week or on weekends depending on activities

scheduled at the site. Since the work is planned for the areas within the park and not the entry

point, we would expect the park to be open but the contractor may limit access to areas within

the park as the work is occurring. The entrance would be open and the Contractor would be

required to set up sufficient barricades to protect the work and for the safety of park users.

The final date for submitting a proposal for this project is Thursday, September 3, 2026 at

4:00 P.M. Proposals may be submitted in one of two (2) methods:

1. In hard paper copy Method: Mail, courier delivery service or personal delivery to

Monroe County Finance Department, 2nd Floor, 125 East Second Street, Monroe,

Michigan 48161-2197. Your envelope must be sealed and clearly marked “Vienna

Park Asphalt Proposals” so that no error in opening may occur.

2. Electronic Email Method: Submit proposals by the same deadline via e-mail as a

separate Microsoft Word or PDF document attachment to rfp@monroemi.org. Indicate

in the email subject line, a Sealed Proposal is attached for Asphalt Proposal.

Please provide your pricing and requisite proposal information on the Proposal Form enclosed.

The County is prepared to commence the work as soon as a contract is awarded and a mutually

agreeable schedule for the work is developed.

The County of Monroe reserves the right to accept or to reject any and all proposals, to waive

any irregularities and to make an award that is determined by the County of Monroe to be in the

best interest of the County.

Sincerely,

Michael G. Bosanac

Administrator/Chief Financial Officer
