10 Person Van

The Bay-Arenac Intermediate School District (BAISD) is seeking proposals for the procurement of one 10-passenger full-size van, specifically a 2025 or newer model with specific technical requirements. The van must feature a gasoline V6 or greater engine, automatic transmission with overdrive, limited slip rear differential, power steering, anti-lock four-wheel disc brakes, all-season tires with a full-size spare, cruise control, and power windows. Additional specifications include heavy-duty vinyl seating with safety belts, an AM/FM/CD/Clock audio system, full-length headliner, vinyl flooring, front and rear air conditioning, and an exterior color of white or silver with a black or dark gray interior. Proposals are due by 1:00 p.m. on Wednesday, November 12, 2025, at the Bay-Arenac ISD Educational Service Center in Bay City, Michigan, with bid opening at 1:15 p.m. the same day. The Board of Education will review proposals on Monday, November 17, 2025, with notifications to follow. While cost is a significant evaluation factor, the district reserves the right to evaluate proposals objectively and subjectively, not solely based on price. All questions should be directed to Eric Allshouse at 989-667-3221 or allshousee@baisd.net.

Vendors must submit familial disclosure forms, certifications regarding debarment and nondiscrimination, and affidavits of compliance with Michigan's Iran Economic Sanctions Act. The proposal must remain valid for 60 days after submission, and all pricing must include delivery and additional charges. No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises are mentioned in the documentation. Bidders are required to provide complete as-built specifications and floor plans for comparison purposes. The district reserves the right to negotiate changes in services with the selected vendor and is not obligated to award the contract to the lowest bidder. While no specific budget range or award value is explicitly stated, the procurement is for a single 10-passenger van with comprehensive technical specifications. Interested vendors must carefully review the detailed requirements and submit a comprehensive proposal that meets or exceeds the specified technical and administrative criteria.
