7-Alternatives AL27-005-IFB.xlsx

This is an Alternatives Acceptance and Rejection document for Invitation for Bids (IFB) AL27-005 issued by Granite School District in Utah for warehouse office and art supplies. The document lists four line items with their corresponding accepted or rejected alternative products. The accepted alternatives include Plasti-Tak reusable adhesive or 3M removable mounting putty (accepted 9/15/26), a C-line composition notebook or Lakeshore equivalent (accepted 9/16/26), a Lakeshore dry erase double-sided student learning board (accepted 9/16/26), and a Lakeshore clipboard (accepted 9/16/26). Each accepted alternative includes the GSD item number, description of specifications, and the acceptance date. The procurement anticipates multiple awards based on the methodology outlined in the October Warehouse Statement of Work.

The document identifies one rejected alternative—the Lakeshore clipboard item was initially proposed but rejected due to smaller paper capacity and excessive flexibility that did not meet the rigid board specifications required for the Masonite clipboard line item. All acceptance and rejection determinations were completed by mid-September 2026, providing vendors with clear guidance on acceptable product substitutes for bid preparation and submission.
