NOTICE: OFFER TO RECEIVE BID FOR THE CHARTER TOWNSHIP OF CHESTERFIELD
BRANDENBURG PARK
FACILITIES AND PUBLIC SAFETY MAINTENANCE BUILDING
Bid Number: RFP-2026-FO-127
OVERVIEW
The Charter Township of Chesterfield's Facilities & Operations Department is seeking proposals from
qualified architectural and engineering firms, along with qualified contractors to provide comprehensive
professional services for the demolition and rebuilding of an existing maintenance building within
Brandenburg Park.
The project will replace two older structures with a modern, and will be an efficient facility serving as the
operational base for the Township's Facilities and Operations team. The facility will also include a secure,
dedicated storage bay and operational headquarters for Marine 1, the Township's public-safety
watercraft, designed to support rapid deployment and reliable emergency response.
The project is funded through a State of Michigan grant administered through the Michigan Electronic
Grants Administration and Management System (EGrAMS). The selected firm will be expected to design
and administer the project in accordance with all applicable grant requirements, including compliance
documentation, reporting obligations, eligible-cost requirements, and established project milestones and
completion deadlines.
Before submitting a bid, each bidder shall have the opportunity to thoroughly examine the properties
and fully understand the conditions that may affect the work proposed. A mandatory, on site, meeting
and walk through will occur on Wednesday September 23, 2026 at 10:00 am Brandenburg Park, 50050
Jefferson Ave, Chesterfield Township, MI 48047. Failure to inspect the sites in no way relieves the
successful contractor from the necessity of furnishing materials or performing any labor necessary for
the satisfactory completion of the work.

facilities@chesterfieldtwp.org with any questions.
