4x4 CNC

Granite School District is conducting an Invitation for Bid (IFB) to procure two 4x4 CNC Routers through the Utah Public Procurement Place. The solicitation seeks a machine comparable to the Maverick 4X4 ES Delta with specific technical requirements, including closed loop motors, a profile rail drive system, pneumatic dust manifold, 6HP manual tool change spindle, A-Axis turning center, Y-Axis articulating joinery system, and accompanying software and training. The procurement is specifically targeted for two high schools located in Salt Lake City and West Valley City, Utah. Evaluation criteria will focus on product quality, specification conformity, delivery time, and pricing, with a preference for Energy Star certified or recycled products. The bid is due on September 17, 2025, with all questions to be submitted through the Utah Public Procurement Place, and no verbal modifications will be considered. Vendors must provide complete manufacturer documentation and maintain bid pricing for 60 days from the due date. The district anticipates awarding a single contract with potential renewal options for up to four additional one-year periods.

The solicitation does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The contract is structured for a one-year period with the potential to purchase 1-2 units annually, though no quantity is guaranteed. Pricing terms allow for potential price adjustments only under extreme market conditions, subject to documented justification and approval by the District Purchasing Department, with increases limited to the Consumer Price Index (CPI). Vendors must provide comprehensive insurance coverage, including workers' compensation, commercial general liability, and commercial automobile liability with specific minimum coverage amounts. The district reserves the right to order additional units within 12 months if the supplier agrees to maintain original pricing. While no specific budget range is detailed, the procurement suggests a significant investment in specialized educational technology equipment. Vendors must comply with federal requirements, including W-9 form submission, Sherman Antitrust Act compliance, and debarment certification.
