Furniture bid

Zeeland Public Schools is soliciting sealed bids for a 21st Century Furniture project (Project 5-3978) located in Ottawa County, Michigan. The procurement encompasses multiple furniture and equipment categories necessary to complete furnishings for the 21st Century project, though specific furniture items and quantities are not detailed in the notice. Bidders must submit two complete copies of sealed bid proposals to Lynn VanKampen, Finance Director, at the Zeeland Public Schools Administration Building, 183 W. Roosevelt Ave., Zeeland, MI 49464, by 11:00 A.M. local time on Monday, April 16, 2018, at which time proposals will be opened publicly and read aloud. Electronic bidding documents are available from GMB Architecture + Engineering at www.gmb.com under "Bid Sets" or at their office located at 85 East Eighth Street, Holland, Michigan 49423, beginning Monday, April 2, 2018. All bidders must provide bid security equal to five percent of the total bid amount in the form of a bid bond, certified check, cashier's check, or money order; personal and company checks are not acceptable. For bids exceeding $50,000, Performance and Labor and Material Payment Bonds covering 100 percent of the project value are required as separate line items. All bidders must demonstrate bondability and complete notarized Affidavit of Bidder and Affidavit of Compliance - Iran Economic Sanctions Act forms; failure to complete these documents will result in bid disqualification, and all bid proposals must remain firm for sixty days from the bid opening date.

The Notice to Bidders does not specify any set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise restrictions, or limitations on the types of organizations eligible to respond. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the available documentation. The Board of Education reserves the right to accept or reject any or all bids, waive irregularities, and evaluate bids on any basis determined to be in the board's best interest. No specific budget range or award value is provided in the notice; however, the requirement for Performance and Labor and Material Payment Bonds on bids exceeding $50,000 suggests the project value may fall in or exceed that threshold. Prospective bidders are responsible for reviewing all drawings and specifications and must complete an Electronic Media Request Form to obtain CAD files as needed for bid preparation.
