2025 DPW custodial supplies

The City of Livonia, Michigan is seeking sealed bids for custodial supplies for its Department of Public Works (DPW) for the calendar year 2025. The procurement opportunity covers a comprehensive range of janitorial and cleaning products, including multifold towels, bathroom tissue, roll towels, bleach, disinfectant cleaners, hand soap, and spray disinfectants. Vendors are required to submit bids through the Michigan Inter-Governmental Trade Network (MITN) website, with proposals due on January 28, 2025, at 2:00 PM local time. The bid specifications mandate detailed product submissions, including Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for chemical products and requirements that disinfectant products be effective against MRSA. Bidders may submit proposals for all or some products, with winning bids to be awarded by product type. The contract allows for potential two-year renewal periods upon mutual agreement, and vendors must provide pricing that remains fixed for the entire 2025 calendar year. Evaluation criteria include product specifications, pricing, and potential preference for local Livonia-based firms.

The procurement does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. Delivery of the awarded products will be to the Facility Maintenance Building in the Department of Public Works yard, with orders to be placed at various intervals throughout the year. While the exact budget range is not specified, the bid list includes estimated purchase volumes ranging from 100 to 1,500 cases across different product categories. The city reserves the right to purchase in minimum order quantities and to award bids by individual line items, maintaining flexibility in its procurement approach. Vendors are required to provide documentation for any product substitutions and are prohibited from offering products that require respirators. The city will conduct a virtual bid opening via Zoom, and bidders must complete the provided Excel spreadsheet with specific pricing information for the highlighted product categories. The contract period will run from January 1, 2025, through December 31, 2025, with potential extensions subject to mutual agreement.
