Description

The University of Michigan’s Wayne State University solicited a design‑build contract to install dry‑type transformers and associated electrical infrastructure for approximately 50 EV charging stations across multiple campus parking structures and one parking lot. The scope includes engineering, procurement, installation, testing, and commissioning, with compliance to university wage schedules, safety, environmental, and insurance requirements. Bids were due October 19, 2023, and the contract was awarded to Detroit Power Systems. The award is a lump‑sum design‑build contract requiring a 5 % bid bond (if bid ≥ $50 k), 100 % performance and labor‑material payment bonds, and a $150 per day liquidated‑damages clause for late completion. Substantial completion is required by November 30, 2023.

Contract value

$1,200,000

The solicitation does not disclose the contract value. Based on the scope—installing dry‑type transformers for roughly 50 EV chargers, requiring engineering, procurement of transformer units, conduit, wiring, trenching, and commissioning across multiple parking structures—a typical market rate for similar university EV‑infrastructure projects ranges from $1 M to $1.5 M. Assuming an average unit cost of $15–$20 k per transformer plus $200–$300 k for design, permitting, and labor, a reasonable ballpark is around $1.2 million. This estimate accounts for Michigan labor rates, prevailing‑wage requirements, bonding, insurance, and a modest contingency.
