4" Tuned Acoustical Panels

West Ottawa Public Schools is seeking sealed bids for the procurement and installation of approximately 1,400 square feet of 4" Tuned Acoustical Panels for their facilities. The bid opportunity, posted on March 3, 2025, and due on March 19, 2025, at 10:00 AM, requires a mandatory pre-bid meeting scheduled for March 12, 2025, at 11:00 AM at the West Ottawa Performing Art Center. Approved panel manufacturers include BAD panel by RPG, TAD panel by Kinetics Noise Control, and RAD panel by Golterman & Sabo. Bidders must attend the pre-bid meeting, examine the site to understand installation conditions involving electrical conduits, lights, and devices, and submit two signed copies of the bid form along with mandatory affidavits. The evaluation criteria include providing three references, specifying potential subcontractors, and confirming the ability to provide necessary equipment. The district requires performance and labor bonds to be included in the proposal, and bid submissions will remain firm for 90 days from the bid opening date.

The contract opportunity does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Bidders must complete a Familial Relationship Affidavit and an Iran Linked Business Affidavit as part of their submission requirements. The bid is tax-exempt, and West Ottawa Public Schools reserves the right to reject any bid and is not obligated to accept the lowest proposal. The district may terminate the contract with 30 days' notice if the contractor fails to comply with specifications. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the scope involves covering approximately 1,400 square feet of acoustical panels, which suggests a substantial investment in facility acoustic improvements. The contract appears to be focused on a specific installation project within the Saginaw County jurisdiction of Michigan, targeting enhanced acoustical performance in the school's facilities.
