Air Purifier RFP

The Anchor Bay School District in Michigan issued a Request for Bids (RFB) for the procurement of approximately 35 air purification units to meet specific technical and manufacturer requirements. Sealed bid proposals must be submitted by 1:00 p.m. on November 16, 2021, to the District's Maintenance Office at 51890 Washington, New Baltimore, Michigan 48047, with bids to be publicly opened and read immediately following the deadline. The air purifiers must be ETL-listed, factory-assembled units equipped with MEGAcel eFRM HEPA filters and MERV 11 pre-filters, integrated LCD control interfaces, and particulate matter sensors. Acceptable manufacturers are limited to AAF Flanders or other approved manufacturers holding ISO 9001 or ASME NQA-1 quality management system certifications with third-party verification. Bidders must submit proposals in duplicate on furnished forms, and all bids shall remain firm for 90 days following submission. Bid pricing must include delivery costs and all first-year maintenance expenses, with all applicable federal, state, and local taxes included, as the District is exempt from state sales tax. The District reserves the right to reject any or all bid proposals in whole or in part, waive any informalities or irregularities, or award the contract to other than the lowest bidder.

All bidders are required to complete and submit a sworn and notarized familial disclosure form in compliance with Michigan Compiled Law 380.1267. The RFB does not specify set-aside designations or restrictions limiting responses to particular types of organizations such as disadvantaged enterprises or minority-owned businesses. No incumbent vendors, current contractors, or existing infrastructure requirements for integration are mentioned in the procurement documents. The specific award value or budget range for this procurement is not disclosed in the available documentation, though the requirement for approximately 35 units with included delivery and first-year maintenance suggests a substantial contract value.
