2018 Move & Technology Move Management Services

Livonia Public Schools has issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) for Move Management and Technology Move Management Services as part of their 2013 Bond Project. The procurement seeks comprehensive moving services for four school facilities: Livonia Career Technical Center (LCTC), Webster Elementary School, Jackson Early Childhood Center, and Buchanan Elementary School. Vendors must provide complete moving logistics including labor, materials, warehousing, delivery, and technology equipment relocation services. The scope requires detailed technology move management, involving cataloging, de-installation, storage, and reinstallation of computers, projectors, document cameras, and other IT equipment. Bidders must submit a 5% bid security and maintain comprehensive insurance coverage, including workers' compensation, general liability ($1M per occurrence, $3M aggregate), and automobile liability ($1M combined single limit). A mandatory pre-bid meeting and walkthrough was scheduled for February 8, 2018, at 3:00 pm, with proposal submissions due February 15, 2018, at 11:00 am local time. The project involves move-out operations from June 14-18, 2018, and move-in operations from August 25-31, 2018.

The RFP allows vendors to bid on individual projects or submit combined proposals, with potential cost savings for bundled locations. Pricing must be submitted as lump sum costs per project, with additional hourly rates for future adjustments, including different shift rates for movers and IT technicians. The proposal requires three signed copies and mandates that bidders hold their proposals valid for 60 days after submission. While no specific set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise requirements are mentioned, the RFP implies a competitive bidding process open to qualified moving and technology relocation service providers. Hourly rates and pricing options include costs for storage trailer mobilization, storage trailer rental, and POD container rental. The document was prepared by Plante Moran CRESA, suggesting potential advisory involvement in the procurement process. Though specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the service requirements indicates a significant investment in moving and technology relocation services for the school district's facilities.
