ADA Compliant Basement Entrance Doors Bid

The City of Owosso in Shiawassee County, Michigan, is seeking bids for an ADA Compliant Basement Entrance Doors project at the City Hall Building. This procurement involves furnishing and installing one set of basement entrance doors that meet ADA accessibility requirements. Sealed proposals with original signatures must be submitted by Tuesday, September 30, 2025, at 3:00 p.m., at which time bids will be publicly opened and read aloud. Bidders are required to provide a comprehensive bid package that includes a vendor proposal, local preference affidavit, W-9 form, signature page, and insurance endorsement. Electronic bids are not acceptable, and bid documents are available at no cost on the city's website and the MITN website. The city reserves the right to accept or reject any proposal and may award the contract based on the total bid or alternates.

The procurement includes specific local preference provisions that provide bidding advantages to local businesses. Companies located within Owosso city limits receive a 6% bid advantage or $2,500 (whichever is less) over businesses outside Shiawassee County, while businesses within Shiawassee County but outside Owosso city limits receive a 3% bid advantage. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the bid's focus on a single set of ADA compliant doors suggests a relatively modest project scope. The city's evaluation will likely consider factors such as compliance with ADA requirements, installation quality, vendor qualifications, and overall bid pricing. Potential bidders are advised to carefully review all documentation and ensure full compliance with the specified guidelines and local preference regulations.
