Royal Oak Schools in Michigan is seeking sealed bids for a door hardware replacement project at Northwood Elementary School, identified as Bid #19-3. The procurement involves removing and replacing 30 door lock sets with Best brand hardware (model 45HCA-AT-626 with 40HTK-IS2-3-J-626-VIT inside trim kits) and retrofitting 8 doors with Von Duprin panic door lock sets. Bidders must have at least 5 years of successful experience on similar projects and demonstrate expertise in school facility hardware upgrades. A non-mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for February 20, 2019, at 4:00 PM at Northwood Elementary School, with sealed bids due by 11:00 AM on March 1, 2019. The project timeline allows for work completion between May 1, 2019, and July 31, 2019, with contractors able to choose either afternoon or day shift work periods. Each bid must include a 5% bid security in the form of a certified check, money order, or bid bond, and proposals must remain valid for 60 days from the bid date.

The procurement does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, but does indicate a preference for local vendors who are taxpayers in the school district. Contractors will be required to provide performance and payment bonds for 100% of the contract amount if awarded. An 18-month warranty on materials and installation is mandatory, and daily penalties of $500 will be assessed for failure to complete punch list items, permit finalization, and closeout documents by the specified completion date. While no specific budget range is detailed in the documents, the contractor will be responsible for all permits, fees, clean-up, and damage repairs during the project. The bid requires sworn and notarized statements disclosing any familial relationships between the bidder and school board members or superintendent, and confirmation that the bidder is not an Iran Linked Business.
