Music Department Instrumental Equipment

Dearborn Public Schools has issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for Music Department Instrumental Equipment, soliciting comprehensive procurement of musical instruments and percussion equipment. The specific procurement includes 5 Maple Shell Concert Snares, 4 Concert Bass Drums, 6 Adams Xylophones, 7 Adams Marimbas, 7 Adams Vibraphones, 7 Adams Chimes, 4 LP Congas, 4 TreeWorks Triangles, 4 Tambourines, 6 Granite Blocks, 3 Zildjian Suspended Cymbals, 4 Suspended Cymbal Stands, 10 Tuba 3/4, 6 Tuba 4/4, and 8 Tuba Stands. The bid is scheduled to open on Wednesday, April 2, 2025, at 10:00 A.M., with bids due by Thursday, January 30, 2025, at 10 AM local time. The district intends to award a firm fixed price contract to the lowest responsive responsible bidder, with pricing remaining fixed for the duration of the agreement. Evaluation will be based on compliance with bid specifications, pricing, and contractor responsibility.

The procurement is specific to Wayne County, Michigan, and appears open to all qualified bidders without specific set-aside designations. Bidders must provide proof of insurance with specific coverage limits, submit a notarized familial disclosure affidavit, and certify compliance with Iran Economic Sanctions Act. Contractors must complete various forms including a bidder information form, certification document, and Iran Economic Sanctions certification. The contract is contingent upon fund availability, and Dearborn Public Schools reserves the right to unilaterally rescind or modify the contract if funds are not appropriated. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly detailed, the comprehensive nature of the musical equipment procurement suggests a substantial investment in the district's music department infrastructure.
