2019 Milk and Bread Bid Questions and Answers.docx

This is a Questions and Answers document for a 2019 Milk and Bread Bid solicitation involving Washtenaw County and Livingston County school districts in Michigan, as well as Wayne County entities and Jackson County entities. The solicitation seeks bids for milk and bread products to be supplied to participating school districts and public entities. The participating entities include Washtenaw Intermediate School District, multiple high schools, middle schools, and elementary schools across Washtenaw, Livingston, Wayne, and Jackson counties, as well as the Jackson Department of Aging. A public bid opening and reading of submitted pricing was scheduled, though no awards were to be made at the opening. Bidders were instructed to list pack sizes in product descriptions but to price products per individual piece to ensure accurate product comparison across submissions.

Pricing was to be submitted on a per-piece basis rather than per package to standardize evaluation. The document indicates that minimum insurance requirements exist, with a reference link provided to insurance limits documentation located on the Board Docs platform. A promotional mailing was scheduled statewide to inform potential bidders of the opportunity. The participating school district list was noted as continuing to grow at the time of the document's publication, with entities from multiple counties across Michigan included in the solicitation.
