The City has determined that bids can be more accurately and efficiently evaluated if bidders provide item prices in a separate 37-page Excel item spreadsheet (Item Spreadsheet) issued with this IFB.

All purchases will be a one-time purchase with inside delivery, assembly and placing for all items. Contractors will receive Purchase Orders for the items that are awarded to them.

Bids must be in a sealed envelope. The outside of the sealed envelope is to be clearly marked "FFE New Squantum School" with time/date of bid call. Firm bid prices will be given first consideration.
