Boiler RFP

Schoolcraft Community Schools has issued a Request for Bid (RFB) for a comprehensive boiler replacement project at their 7-12 Jr/Sr High School located in Schoolcraft, Michigan. The procurement specifically requires the complete demolition and removal of existing boilers 1 and 2, followed by the installation of two new replacement boilers matching the P-K Thermific model N2000-VX2 with a 2,000,000 BTU/hr input rating. Bidders must submit sealed proposals by Thursday, August 28, 2025, at 1:30 pm, with a public bid opening scheduled in the school's cafeteria at the same time. The project documentation requirements are extensive, including a cover letter, company information, detailed project plan, comprehensive cost breakdown, warranties, performance bonds, and professional references. Evaluation criteria will likely involve technical capabilities, project timeline adherence, and comprehensive documentation, with the critical requirement that the awarded contractor guarantee full boiler operational status prior to October 1st, 2025.

The procurement does not explicitly indicate specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Bidders must complete a Michigan Familial Relationship Disclosure Statement and an Iran Linked Business Affidavit as part of their submission. Insurance requirements are substantial, mandating Commercial General Liability Insurance with $1,000,000 per occurrence limits, Professional Liability Insurance of $1,000,000, and Workers Compensation coverage compliant with Michigan law. While a specific budget range is not disclosed, the complexity of the boiler replacement project suggests a significant capital investment. The procurement is limited to Kalamazoo County and specifically targets Schoolcraft Community Schools' infrastructure upgrade needs, with a clear emphasis on technical competence, operational reliability, and comprehensive project management.
