Lakeview Public Schools Auditorium Presentation System

Lakeview Public Schools, located in Macomb County and Stephenson City, Michigan, is soliciting sealed bids for an Auditorium Presentation System installation project (Project No. 20-LPS-APS-01) through a Request for Bid (RFB) process. The procurement involves the design and installation of a complete auditorium presentation system, with Wright & Hunter, Inc. serving as the designer of record. The system specifications include a wired touch panel control system (TSW-1060-B-S), an Epson Pro L1755UNL projector in black, and a 150" high by 240" wide rear projection screen (DaLite part #14192) that will replace two existing screens. Bidders must submit sealed bids by 2:00 p.m. EST on September 3, 2020, via email to Linda DeHooghe at ldehooghe@scslakeview-k12.com. A mandatory vendors' pre-bid meeting was held on August 6, 2020, at 10:00 a.m. EST at Lakeview High School in St. Clair Shores, Michigan, with attendance requiring pre-screening, masks, and social distancing compliance. RFB documents became available on July 29, 2020, on the district's website, and bids will be publicly opened and read aloud via virtual bid opening. All submitted bids must include sworn and notarized Familial Relationship Disclosure Statements as required by Michigan Public Act No. 232 of 2004 and Iran Sanctions Act compliance documentation as defined in Public Act 517 of 2012, with non-compliant submissions being rejected from consideration.

The bid documents indicate that Extron components may be utilized as alternates subject to pre-approval with revised part numbers, suggesting some flexibility in equipment sourcing. Bidders must acknowledge Addendum 1 on the bid form and incorporate all associated costs into their base bid submissions. The existing infrastructure includes a projector scissor lift that is anticipated to accommodate the new Epson projector based on comparable weight specifications. The district reserves the right to reject any or all bids in whole or in part, accept alternates in any order or combination when determining the low bidder, and adjust unit prices to ensure comparable evaluation across all submissions. The procurement documents do not specify designated set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises, incumbent vendors, or contract award values and funding amounts. Bid withdrawals are prohibited for ninety days following the bid opening date, establishing a firm commitment timeline for selected bidders.
