requeest for pricing -Dumpsters, portable toilets and fencin

The Avondale School District Board of Education issued Invitation to Bid #1173 for auxiliary construction services, specifically seeking firm unit price agreements for dumpsters, portable toilets, and fencing services to support District operations. The procurement covers a four-year contract period from September 1, 2018 through December 31, 2022, with services to be provided throughout the District. Bidders must submit sealed, opaque proposals addressed to Frank Lams, CPA, Assistant Superintendent for Financial Services, at the Avondale Administrative Offices located at 2940 Waukegan Street, Auburn Hills, Michigan 48326, with a deadline of 12:00 noon on August 6, 2018. Public opening and reading of all bids will occur at 2:00 p.m. on the same date at the Avondale Administrative Offices main board room. Proposals must be completed on forms furnished by the construction manager and remain firm for sixty days following submission. All proposals exceeding $23,881 must include either a bid bond from a U.S. Treasury-listed surety company or a cashier's check equal to at least 5% of the proposal amount, made payable to Avondale School District. Each bid must be accompanied by sworn and notarized statements disclosing any familial relationships between the bidder or its employees and members of the Board of Education or the Superintendent, as well as signed and notarized statements confirming compliance with the Iran Economic Sanctions Act of 2012 and Equal Opportunity requirements.

The solicitation does not indicate specific set-aside designations or restrictions targeting disadvantaged enterprises, though all bidders must demonstrate compliance with Equal Opportunity requirements. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the procurement notice. The Board of Education reserves the right to accept or reject any or all bids in whole or in part, to award the contract to other than the lowest bidder, and to waive any irregularities or informalities in its sole discretion. The bid bond requirement of 5% of the proposal amount for bids exceeding $23,881 suggests the District anticipates contract values in this range or higher, though no specific budget allocation or award value range is stated in the advertisement.
