17" Micro Scrubbers

Parkway School District is seeking competitive bids for a one-time procurement of four (4) SSS Panther 17B Micro Scrubbers through a formal Request for Bid (RFB) process. The procurement is specifically for new cleaning equipment to be delivered to the Parkway Warehouse located in Chesterfield, Missouri, with strict delivery parameters between 7:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding holidays. Vendors must submit sealed digital bids exclusively through the Parkway School District Bonfire Portal by September 16, 2025, at 2:00 PM Central Standard Time, with all bid-related questions to be submitted via the Opportunity Q&A by September 9, 2025. The district will evaluate bids based on a "lowest and best" proposal methodology, considering factors such as specification compliance, vendor supply capability, inventory maintenance, prior district experience, and financial strength. Bid pricing must be comprehensive, including handling, freight, assembly, setup, and standard manufacturer's warranty, with F.O.B. destination pricing, and no unauthorized substitutions will be permitted.

The procurement opportunity appears open to all qualified vendors, with no specific set-aside designations mentioned. However, vendors must comply with several critical requirements, including participation in the federal E-Verify program for work authorization, adherence to non-discrimination policies, and compliance with federal and state legal standards such as Title VI and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act. Vendors must also complete an Affidavit of Non-Collusion, certifying the bid's independence and integrity, and confirming no collusive bidding practices. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the procurement is for a one-time purchase of four micro scrubbers, suggesting a moderate-scale investment. The district reserves the right to extend the contract for an additional month under the same terms and potentially award similar items under identical conditions. Vendors must also be prepared to provide comprehensive contact information and potentially extend bid terms to other local school districts.
