About this opportunity

The North Kingstown School District in Rhode Island is seeking proposals for a comprehensive water fountain replacement project across six district schools in Providence County. The Request for Proposal (RFP) 2025-24 calls for qualified vendors to remove 42 existing traditional water fountains and install new combination water fountain/bottle filling stations at Quidnessett Elementary (9 units), Forest Park Elementary (2 units), North Kingstown High School (15 units), Stony Lane (9 units), Davisville Middle School (5 units), and Davisville Academy & Early Learning Center (3 units). The project requires vendors to provide durable bottle filling stations with no exterior plastic components that are fully ADA compliant. Evaluation of proposals will be conducted using a point-based system: 35 points for pricing, 30 points for technical requirements, 25 points for past project experiences, and 10 points for references. Key dates include a mandatory site tour on Friday, August 22 at 2:00 PM, with proposals due by Friday, August 29, 2025 at 2:00 PM, and an anticipated project award date of Friday, September 12, 2025.

The district has established specific requirements for vendor participation, including comprehensive insurance coverage with minimum thresholds for workers' compensation, general liability, and automobile liability. There is a strong emphasis on supporting minority and women-owned businesses, with a mandated minimum 15% participation in the procurement process. Vendors must demonstrate technical capability, past performance, and the ability to provide high-quality, durable bottle filling station installations. The contract is subject to funding and approval by the School Building Committee, and the district reserves the right to reject any or all proposals. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the project involving 42 unit replacements across six schools suggests a significant investment. Successful vendors will need to provide a turnkey solution that includes removal of existing fountains, installation of new units, and ensuring complete compliance with ADA standards and the district's technical specifications.
