bullet resistant glass

Owosso Public Schools in Wayne County, Michigan, is seeking proposals for the installation of bullet resistant glass across six district locations, totaling approximately 686 square feet. The procurement involves providing and installing safety glass with a minimum 12mm thickness, including all necessary hardware, caulking, and installation materials, while utilizing existing window and door frames. The Request for Proposal (RFP) specifies detailed physical, mechanical, and thermal property requirements for the glass, with installations planned for Owosso High School, Emerson Elementary School, Bryant Elementary School, Central Elementary School, Bentley Bright Beginnings, and Washington Campus. Sealed bids are due by 2:00 PM on March 29, 2019, at the Administration Building, with a public bid opening to follow immediately. The district will notify the winning bidder by April 5, 2019, with a mandatory installation completion date of August 16, 2019. Bid prices must be quoted F.O.B. to specified delivery points and exclude taxes, as the school district is tax-exempt. The contractor will be responsible for providing written installation requirements, while the district manages electrical and site preparation work.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly mentioned in the procurement documents. The RFP does not list incumbent vendors or provide specific details about existing infrastructure requirements for integration. Bids will remain firm for 120 days from the opening date, and while no exact budget range is specified, the comprehensive scope suggests a potentially significant investment in district security infrastructure. The procurement appears open to qualified contractors capable of meeting the detailed technical specifications for bullet resistant glass installation. Interested bidders should carefully review the full RFP document to ensure compliance with all technical requirements, installation specifications, and project timeline expectations. The project represents a strategic investment in school safety, focusing on hardening entry points and windows across multiple school facilities within the Owosso Public Schools district.
