New Air Compressor, Service and Maintenance

The Southeast Macomb Sanitary District (SEMSD) is seeking proposals for air compressor service and maintenance across five facilities located in Macomb Township, St. Clair Shores, and Grosse Pointe, Michigan. The Request for Proposal (RFP) solicits bids for comprehensive compressor maintenance services, including quarterly and annual maintenance of existing systems, and potential replacement of the compressor at the Site 9/9A Landfill. Bidders must provide detailed maintenance services such as oil sampling, filter replacements, and equipment inspections, with specific requirements for a new compressor that can supply over 100 psi at 130 cfm and includes a variable speed drive. The RFP requires bidders to submit three professional references, Material Safety Data Sheets, and a certificate of liability insurance naming SEMSD and its subcontractors as additional insured parties. Proposals are due on February 19, 2025, with a proposed two-year contract term and firm pricing throughout the contract period. The district reserves the right to award bids on individual items or the entire list, with the intent to select the most advantageous proposal, which may not necessarily be the lowest-priced submission.

While the RFP does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises, it does indicate a comprehensive evaluation process that considers multiple factors beyond price. The contract allows for cancellation with 30 days written notice and is structured for a two-year term. As a tax-exempt government entity, SEMSD is seeking a vendor capable of providing high-quality, reliable compressor maintenance and potential replacement services. The potential award value is not explicitly stated, but would include both ongoing maintenance services and the potential procurement of a new compressor for the landfill site. The district's approach suggests they are seeking a qualified, experienced vendor with demonstrated technical capabilities in industrial air compressor maintenance and the ability to meet specific performance and operational requirements across multiple municipal facilities.
