Bid for 2 new gas Combi Ovens for Cedar Trails & Beach El

Cedar Springs Public Schools issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) on April 18, 2019, for the procurement of two new gas combi ovens to be installed at Cedar Trails and Beach Elementary Schools within the district. The RFP invites bids for the specified equipment model or comparable alternatives meeting similar specifications, with bidders permitted to submit alternate proposals for installation services as well. All bidders must be licensed and insured, and site visits can be arranged by contacting Holly Haywood at 616-696-1204 Ext 1462. Sealed bids must be submitted by May 2, 2019, at 3:00 pm to the Cedar Springs District Office, 204 E Muskegon Street, Cedar Springs, Michigan 49319, addressed to Jeff Malloch, Director of Business and Finance, with public bid opening occurring at the same time and location. The combi ovens must be delivered no later than June 17, 2019, with installation required to be completed during the June 17-28, 2019 window. Bidders must provide separate line-item pricing for each of the two combi ovens and alternate pricing for installation services. As mandatory submission requirements, all bidders must submit a sworn and notarized statement disclosing any familial relationships between company owners or employees and members of the Cedar Springs Public Schools Board or Superintendent, and failure to provide this disclosure results in bid disqualification.

The RFP contains compliance requirements that restrict bidder eligibility. All bidders must submit a notarized Affidavit of Compliance with Michigan Public Act No. 517 of 2012 (Iran Economic Sanctions Act), certifying that the bidder is not an "Iran Linked Business" and will not become one during contract performance. False certifications carry significant civil penalties up to $250,000 or twice the contract amount, whichever is greater, plus investigation costs and attorney fees, along with a three-year bidding ineligibility period. The RFP document does not identify any set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises, incumbent vendors, or current contractors. No specific budget range or award value is disclosed in the procurement announcement, though pricing will be determined through the competitive sealed bid process based on the line-item proposals submitted by qualified bidders.
