All furniture lines must meet Greenguard certification, and ASTM safety certificates must be available upon request. The awarded vendor must provide custom 3D classroom layouts at no cost, deliver two days of professional development training by a certified CLASS and Environmental Rating Scales trainer at no cost, maintain local representation for onsite support, and handle all customer service requests. The vendor must warehouse and directly distribute 100 percent of products, offer no-cost carrier delivery with flexible options, provide custom box labeling, and complete all installation services—including truck offloading, inside delivery, inventory verification, assembly, setup to layout specifications, and debris removal—within a single day at no additional cost. No backorders or drop shipments are permitted; all orders must arrive 100 percent complete, with payment due only upon full delivery. The evaluation criteria emphasize bidder financial stability, past performance on similar contracts, quality references, capacity, and compliance with all submittal and insurance requirements.
