2025 Moving - Northville Public Schools

Northville Public Schools is soliciting proposals for comprehensive moving services across three school facilities: Amerman Elementary School, Meads Mill Middle School, and Northville High School. The project involves multiple phased moves between December 2024 and October 2025, with specific requirements for furniture, equipment, and box relocation using a precise color-coded labeling system. Contractors must provide 50 speed packs, floor protection for designated areas (100% of Amerman's gym and 20% of Meads Mill's cafe), and handle complex logistics including disassembly and reassembly of shelving, protecting computer equipment, and moving office workstations. The pre-proposal meeting occurred on November 20, 2024, at Meads Mill Middle School, with proposals originally due on December 2, 2024, but subsequently adjusted to November 27, 2024, at 2:00 PM. Bidders must submit electronically through Buildingconnect.com and provide references from governmental agencies. Key qualifications include carrying $1 million worker's compensation and $3 million general liability insurance, submitting familial disclosure and Iran sanctions compliance affidavits, and including a $5,000 allowance for unforeseen work split between Meads Mill and Amerman schools.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly mentioned in the procurement documents. The project is not prevailing wage and does not require performance or payment bonds. Contractors must use Masonite for floor protection and follow specific handling instructions for electronics and furniture. While no incumbent vendor was identified, the project involves detailed move instructions for specific rooms and areas, including moving media center shelving, STEM tables, and reconstructing tables in designated spaces. The documents do not specify a precise budget range or award value, though the $5,000 contingency allowance suggests a project scope that likely exceeds this amount. Technical support for the bid process is available through Mark Paulus, and the school district plans to consider contract awards on December 10, 2024. The procurement emphasizes a comprehensive and methodical approach to facility relocation with strict requirements for protection, labeling, and equipment handling.
