The City of Dearborn, located in Wayne County, Michigan, is seeking bids for the procurement of 500 picnic tables through Invitation to Bid (ITB) Control No. 157103. The solicitation requires vendors to supply 6-foot long picnic tables constructed from recycled high-density polyethylene with a traditional design featuring attached benches. Tables must be available in earth-tone colors, demonstrate weather resistance, UV-stability, and waterproofing, and support a minimum weight of 800 pounds. Vendors must possess a minimum of 5 years of experience providing similar products and submit comprehensive references to validate their qualifications. The bid process includes a pre-bid question deadline of April 7, 2025 at 1:00 p.m. and a final bid submission deadline of April 9, 2025 at 3:00 p.m., with all submissions required to be uploaded to the Michigan Intergovernmental Trade Network (MITN) website. Bidders must complete multiple forms including a Bid Form, Exceptions and Alternatives Form, Reference Form, Business Information Questionnaire, Subcontractor Form, and Ethics in Contracting Form. The procurement allows for potential local business preference, where a Dearborn-based business within 10% of the lowest bid could be awarded the contract. No specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly outlined in the documentation. The City reserves the right to award the contract as a whole or by individual items, providing flexibility in the procurement approach. Successful bidders must maintain commercial general liability insurance coverage of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate. Delivery of the picnic tables will be to 2951 Greenfield Rd, Dearborn, Michigan, 48126, indicating this is a one-time purchase rather than a recurring contract. While specific budget ranges are not detailed, the procurement involves the purchase of 500 picnic tables with specific material and performance requirements. The solicitation encourages vendors to provide quotes for various frame material options, including metal frames with potential powder-coating or galvanization treatments, suggesting some latitude in specific product configurations.
