About this file

This is a Proposal Certification Form for Independent School District #535 (Rochester Public Schools) in Minnesota, which is soliciting proposals for the replacement and maintenance of high-volume production equipment at its centralized copy center, Paper Tiger. The District produces approximately 20.4 million black-and-white copies and 1.2 million color copies annually to serve over 18,700 students and 2,800 staff members. The project scope includes replacement of all existing production equipment with new, manufacturer-certified devices and implementation of a 60-month service and maintenance agreement with an option for a 12-month extension. The vendor must provide full support for EFI Digital Storefront integration, network compatibility, workflow optimization, comprehensive service coverage including parts, labor, consumables and proactive maintenance, staff training, and ongoing technical support. The solution must meet performance requirements of 99% uptime with a 3-hour or less service response time while reducing operational costs and improving energy efficiency.

The certification form requires vendors to acknowledge receipt of all relevant documents, including ISD 535 general terms and conditions and payment schedules, and to confirm compliance with all applicable local, state, and federal laws and regulations. Vendors must submit all required documentation through the Bonfire eProcurement platform, certify the accuracy of submitted information, acknowledge responsibility for timely submission, and agree to indemnify Rochester Public Schools from claims arising from contract performance. The form includes a non-collusion certification and requires vendors to acknowledge applicable insurance and bonding requirements, with certificates to be furnished upon contract award if required. No guarantee of contract award is provided for submission of the acknowledgment form and RFQ response.
