Furnish & install window shades at city hall annex & as needed IFB

The City of Lawrence Purchasing Department is seeking bids from qualified contractors to furnish and install window shades at the City Hall Annex, as well as provide replacement and maintenance services for window shades at all Lawrence Public School buildings and municipal buildings within the city. The successful contractor will be required to provide labor, materials, and permits to complete this work. The City is looking to award a one-year contract to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder based on the combined grand total for all shade types and sizes. Bidders must submit a 5% bid deposit with their bid, and the contract prices and terms will remain fixed for the entire length of the one-year contract period. The contractor must also provide prevailing wage rates, payment and performance bonds, and OSHA certifications for all employees. The City will evaluate bids based on the bidder's qualifications, experience, and references. The bid submission deadline is Thursday, April 19, 2018 by 11:00 AM.

The contract opportunity is open to all qualified contractors, and there are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The City has not identified any incumbent vendors or current contractors for this work, and there are no specific technology or infrastructure integration requirements. The contract value is not predetermined, as the City will award the contract to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, and the total contract value will depend on the bid prices and the actual quantities of work required during the one-year contract period.
