ABSD - RFP - WKS325 - Computer Workstations

Anchor Bay School District in Michigan issued a Request for Proposal on February 28, 2020, for the procurement of 320 computer workstations to be distributed across three school locations: 110 units for Anchor Bay High School, 105 for Middle School South, and 105 for Middle School North. The required specifications include workstations equipped with Intel i7 9700 processors or higher, 8 GB or greater RAM, 500 GB or larger hard drives, 19-inch monitors, Windows 10 operating systems, and a minimum three-year warranty. Vendors must provide unit pricing for all items, as the district reserves the right to purchase quantities different from those estimated. Proposals were due by 2:00 PM on Wednesday, March 11, 2020, at the Anchor Bay School District Administration Office (5201 County Line Road, Suite 100, Casco, MI 48064), with public bid opening occurring at the same time. Clarification requests had to be submitted by 12:00 PM on Monday, March 2, 2020, via email or fax to Tim Sizemore. The district anticipated awarding proposals by March 25, 2020, with a delivery date of May 11, 2020. All vendor proposals were required to remain valid for a minimum of 90 calendar days following the proposal deadline.

Vendors responding to this opportunity must provide comprehensive support and services, including hardware manufacturer-badged local project management, complete logistics and scheduling coordination, equipment receipt, installation, setup, cable dressing, and removal of all packing materials from school premises. Respondents must carry workers' compensation insurance, commercial general liability insurance of at least $2,000,000 per occurrence, and motor vehicle liability insurance of at least $1,000,000, and must provide a Certificate of Compliance with Michigan Public Act 517 of 2012 confirming they are not an "Iran Linked Business." The RFP does not identify any set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises or restrictions on organizational type, and no incumbent vendors or current contractors are referenced. The district is tax-exempt except for enhancements or additions to real property; therefore, vendors must include all applicable state and federal sales and use taxes in their proposals where materials are permanently incorporated into the structure. No specific award value or budget range was disclosed in the RFP documents.
