City Hall Counter Barrier

The City of Auburn Hills is seeking proposals from qualified contractors to install bulletproof protective barriers at service counters within the City Hall, specifically targeting the Assessing, City Clerk's, Finance, and Treasury departments located at 1827 N. Squirrel Road. The procurement is structured as a Request for Proposal (RFP) with sealed proposals due by April 24th at 10:00 am local time, to be opened and read aloud in the City Clerk's office lobby. The project requires contractors to install comprehensive protective barriers, with a recent addendum specifying additional requirements such as package acceptance devices and potential flexibility in working hours. The addendum indicates that each counter side will now include two package exchange devices, and contractors may work outside standard 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM Monday through Friday hours, potentially including weekend work when City Hall is closed. A key technical requirement involves implementing a communication accommodation, such as a sliding barrier, to facilitate interactions during processes like bid openings. Proposals will only be considered if received prior to the specified opening time and date-stamped by the City Clerk's office, with strict instructions that no late proposals will be accepted.

While the documentation does not explicitly outline set-aside designations or specific restrictions on responding organizations, the procurement appears open to qualified contractors capable of executing the protective barrier installation. The project covers jurisdictions including Macomb County and Ann Arbor City, with the primary location being Auburn Hills City Hall. No incumbent vendors or existing contractors are mentioned in the provided documentation, and there are no explicit details about budget ranges or potential award values. The addendum suggests the project involves integrating new protective barrier infrastructure with existing city hall service counter environments, requiring careful consideration of communication and operational continuity. Contractors will need to demonstrate technical proficiency in security barrier installation, understanding of municipal facility requirements, and ability to work within flexible scheduling parameters. The project represents a focused security enhancement initiative for municipal service delivery spaces, requiring precise architectural and safety-oriented implementation.
