Door & hardware replacements for schools

Northville Public Schools is seeking bids for a comprehensive Door & Hardware Replacement Program targeting Meads Mill Middle School and Northville High School facilities. The procurement involves complete replacement of interior doors and associated hardware, requiring bidders to provide all necessary labor, materials, equipment, and services to execute the project. A pre-bid walk-through was scheduled for January 4, 2018, at the Meads Mill Middle School main entrance lobby, which was recommended but not mandatory for potential bidders. Bid submissions were due by 2:00 PM on January 12, 2018, at the Northville Board of Education Room 307, with a public bid opening immediately following in Room 104. Bidders were required to submit a Treasury-listed bid bond or certified check for 5% of the contract amount for proposals exceeding $23,881, and all proposals were required to remain firm for 60 days. Evaluation criteria included compliance with technical specifications, submission of required documentation, and meeting project requirements.

The procurement opportunity appeared to be open to all qualified vendors without specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. Bidders were mandated to provide familial disclosure documentation in compliance with Michigan law (MCL 380.1267), including a sworn and notarized statement disclosing any familial relationships between the bidder's owners/employees and school board members or superintendent. While specific budget ranges were not explicitly detailed, the requirement for a bid bond suggested the project had substantial financial scope. The Board reserved the right to accept or reject any bids and make awards in the owner's best interest, maintaining flexibility in vendor selection. The procurement was subject to Michigan equal opportunity laws, ensuring fair and non-discriminatory bidding processes. No incumbent vendors or existing technological infrastructure integration requirements were specifically mentioned in the available documentation.
