Amity Middle School (Bethany & Orange) Acoustical Panel Installation

Amity Regional School District No. 5 is seeking Requests for Proposals (RFPs) for an acoustical panel installation project at two middle school locations in Bethany and Orange, Connecticut. The project involves the comprehensive installation of acoustical panels to improve sound management and acoustic performance within the school facilities. Potential vendors must submit sealed proposals by October 8, 2021, at 10:00 AM, with a non-mandatory pre-bid meeting scheduled for September 29, 2021, at 4:00 PM at the Amity Middle School in Bethany. Interested contractors are strongly encouraged to attend the pre-bid meeting, as the district will not allow change orders for unknown site conditions discovered after the bidding process. All questions must be submitted in writing to Steve Martoni via email by October 7, 2021, at 10:00 AM. The district reserves the right to waive errors in proposals, accept proposals from vendors other than the lowest bidder, and reject any or all proposals at its discretion.

The solicitation does not explicitly indicate specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged businesses or minority-owned enterprises, though some documents reference micro-business and veteran-owned micro-business preferences. No incumbent vendor is identified, and no specific budget range or total project value is disclosed in the available documentation. The RFP includes comprehensive questionnaires requiring vendors to provide information about their company, including details on contractor debarment, suspension status, criminal convictions, OSHA violations, and compliance with non-discrimination policies. Vendors must complete these questionnaires as part of their proposal submission. The project appears to be funded directly by Amity Regional School District No. 5, with payment terms to be specified by the selected vendor. Contractors will be evaluated based on their ability to meet the technical requirements of the acoustical panel installation and their compliance with the district's administrative and legal requirements.
