The bid proposal must include delivery, installation, staff training, and warranty coverage at the Genesee Career Institute location on a turnkey basis, with all services, materials, supplies, shipping, insurance, and labor included in the base bid price. Sealed written bids in one original and two copies must be submitted to Cynthia McCain, Assistant Superintendent for Business Services, at 2413 West Maple Avenue, Flint, Michigan 48507-3493 by 11:30 AM on April 30, 2019, with bid opening anticipated for the same date and board award expected at the May 14, 2019 regular meeting.

All bid prices must remain valid for ninety days from the bid opening date, and bids deviating from specified products and requirements will not be considered for award.

All bidders must submit a certified check or bid bond equal to 5 percent of the total bid or one month's estimated service cost (whichever is greater) along with their proposals, and the awarded vendor must submit a Performance, Labor, and Materials Bond in an amount equal to the final contract amount. Bidders are required to include notarized compliance documentation consisting of a Public Act 232 of 2004 Familial Relationship Disclosure Statement disclosing any familial or business relationships between the bidder, the bidder's employees, and members of the District's Board of Education, Superintendent, or other District officials, and a sworn certification that the vendor is not an "Iran Linked Business" under Michigan Public Act 517 of 2012; bids without these completed and notarized statements will not be accepted.

The District is exempt from Michigan Sales and Use Tax, and no specific set-asides or designations for disadvantaged enterprises are mentioned in the procurement documents. No incumbent vendors or budget range values are identified in the available documentation, though the contract value will be determined upon award based on the successful bidder's proposal for equipment procurement and associated services.
