Custom Moveable Panel Wall with Installation in the lecture hall (Sheriff Training Facility)

Milwaukee County is seeking a custom moveable panel wall installation for the Sheriff Training Facility located in Franklin, Wisconsin, through an Invitation to Bid (ITB-2025). The procurement involves procuring and installing a new folding acoustically sealed paired panel wall in the facility's lecture hall, which requires complete removal of the existing movable wall. Specific technical requirements include an overall wall opening dimension of 44'-10 7/8" x 10'-0", a Sound Transmission Class (STC) value of 50, and two doors with photo luminescent exit signs. The wall will be mounted on an existing 40 Hufcor track and must have fixed sweeps to close off current steps. Bidders must provide a standard vinyl finish selected from the manufacturer's color chart, with final color validation by a Sheriff Representative. An optional pre-bid meeting is scheduled for Friday, September 19th, 2025, at 2:00 pm Central, located at 9225 S. 68th St. in Franklin, WI, with the bid submission deadline set for September 30th, 2025. Vendors must communicate through the online bid's Question & Answer forum and comply with comprehensive technical specifications detailed in the project documents.

While no specific set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise requirements are explicitly stated, Milwaukee County has established stringent vendor qualifications and insurance requirements. Vendors must maintain comprehensive insurance coverage, including Commercial General Liability ($1,000,000 per occurrence), Automobile Liability ($1,000,000 per accident), Workers' Compensation, and Cyber Liability insurance with $5,000,000 limits. The county will evaluate bids based on responsiveness, responsibility, and economic value, with the procurement division reserving the right to negotiate with low bidders and potentially award contracts for individual items or groups of items. Bidders must be licensed and authorized to sell and distribute the movable wall product, and they can leverage various government contract pricing options such as GSA, University of Wisconsin, VendorNet, MMCAP, NPP, and SourceWell. Although no specific budget range is provided, the county emphasizes total cost of ownership and seeks competitive pricing with manufacturer warranty support. Potential vendors must provide new, unused items and include delivery costs in their proposals.
