Invitation for Bid Proposals - Surveillance and PA Systems

Warren Woods Public Schools in Warren, Michigan is soliciting sealed bid proposals for Bid Package 18-T03, which encompasses the procurement, installation, integration, and configuration of new surveillance systems for all district buildings and new public-address systems specifically for Enterprise High School and Hawthorn Center. The project is being managed with Metro Technology Services IT, Inc. serving as the technology designer. Sealed bid proposals are due by 2:00 P.M. EST on March 22, 2018, at the Warren Woods Public Schools Administration Building, with a non-mandatory pre-bid meeting scheduled for February 27, 2018, at 10:00 AM. Bidders are required to submit a single lump sum bid proposal with a mandatory bid security of 5% of the total bid price, which can be provided via certified check, cashier's check, or surety bond. Evaluation criteria include compliance with prevailing wage requirements under Act 166, 1965, submission of required documentation such as sworn and notarized statements regarding familial relationships, Iran sanctions affidavit, and criminal background checks. Bid proposals will remain valid for 90 days after the submission date, and the owner reserves the right to accept or reject any proposals and potentially award contracts to entities other than the lowest bidder.

The solicitation does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are mentioned in the documentation. The bid documents can be obtained by contacting Ken Wosik at Metro Technology Services IT, Inc., and while specific budget ranges are not disclosed, the requirement for a 5% bid security suggests a substantial project investment. The procurement covers technology infrastructure improvements across multiple district buildings, indicating a comprehensive approach to upgrading surveillance and public address systems. The project requires bidders to demonstrate technical capability in system integration, installation, and configuration of advanced technological solutions. While precise award values are not specified, the complexity of installing surveillance systems across all district buildings and specialized public-address systems at two specific locations suggests a significant capital investment. The owner maintains flexibility in the procurement process, explicitly stating the ability to reject any proposals and potentially award contracts based on criteria beyond the lowest bid.
