CSPS Filter First - Please see Attachment

Cedar Springs Public School District is seeking qualified contractors for a comprehensive Filter First Fixture Replacement Installation project across multiple school facilities, including Cedar Springs High School, Middle School, Cedar View Elementary, Cedar Trails Elementary, and the District Administration/Early Childhood Center. The procurement involves removing existing water fountains and installing new Elkay bottle filling stations of various models, including single and bi-level configurations at specific locations throughout the district's buildings. Contractors must provide detailed pricing for each location, submit comprehensive proposals including references, insurance evidence, regulatory compliance documentation, and a 5% bid bond of the total proposal value. Key procurement dates include a mandatory pre-proposal meeting held on October 8, 2025, clarification request deadline of October 10, 2025, and proposal submissions due on October 17, 2025, with sealed bids to be submitted by October 24, 2025 at 1:00 P.M. to Matti Sullivan, Chief Financial Officer. The project is subject to the Davis-Bacon Act, requiring prevailing wage rates, and involves multiple proposal attachments such as pricing forms, references checklist, familial disclosure affidavit, and Iran Economic Sanctions Act compliance document. Contractors will be evaluated based on their ability to complete fixture installations using specific Elkay models like LZS8WSSP Single Hole Filling Stations and LZSTL8WSSP Bi-Level Fill Stations, with work scheduled to begin December 15, 2025, and complete by June 30, 2026.

The project appears to be funded through a federally supported initiative focused on improving hydration infrastructure in school facilities, with the district reserving the right to accept or reject proposals and potentially award the contract to one or more contractors. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly mentioned, contractors must demonstrate compliance with various regulatory requirements, including providing evidence of insurance and completing required documentation. The project requires all electrical work to be handled by the bidder and incorporated into their bid proposal, with all installation work to be performed outside of school hours as specified on the district's website. No incumbent vendors are identified, and the project seems to involve a complete replacement of existing water fountain infrastructure across multiple school buildings. Though no specific budget range is provided, the comprehensive nature of the project spanning multiple facilities suggests a significant investment in modernizing water infrastructure. Interested contractors can obtain additional information by contacting the district at (616-696-1204) or via email at cspstogether@csredhawks.org, with proposals to be submitted to the district's administrative offices at 204 E. Muskegon St., Cedar Springs, MI 49319.
