LPS Central Office Complex Monument Sign Bid

Livonia Public Schools (LPS) is seeking bids for a Central Office Complex Monument Sign project located at 15125 Farmington Road in Livonia, Michigan. The procurement involves replacing the existing monument sign with a new sign that includes site demolition, electrical work, and landscaping restoration. The project has two bid options: a base bid for a stone sign and an alternate bid for an EPS foamcore sign with a hard coat. Key deliverables include a brick veneer base with cast stone caps, dimensional blue lettering, an embossed district logo, integrated ground-mounted lighting, and comprehensive site restoration. A mandatory walk-through is scheduled for Tuesday, September 23, 2025, at 9:30am, with sealed bids due by 12:00 p.m. on October 2, 2025. Bidders must submit two signed copies of the bid package and include specific documentation such as a Familial Disclosure Statement, Iran Economic Sanctions Act Affidavit, and Equal Opportunity Statement. Evaluation criteria include local preference, vendor establishment (minimum three years in the field), and potential reference checks.

The bid requires a 5% bid bond or certified check for proposals over $30,500 and includes a two-year warranty. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly mentioned, the bid documents suggest a competitive procurement process open to qualified contractors. The project appears to be funded through the Livonia Public Schools district's capital improvement budget, though specific budget ranges are not disclosed in the documentation. Bidders must be established in the relevant field and may be required to provide additional references. The Livonia Public Schools Board of Education reserves the right to accept or reject any bid, award to entities other than the lowest bidder, and make awards in the best interests of the district. Pricing is to be F.O.B. Destination, with all purchases exempt from state and federal taxes. Bids will remain firm for 90 days following submission, providing flexibility in the award process.
