Clinton County, Michigan is requesting bids for auditorium seating re-upholstery services on behalf of Bath Community Schools. The procurement involves the reupholstering of 459 auditorium chairs located at Bath Middle School (13675 Webster Road, Bath, MI 48808). The scope of work includes removal and replacement of seat and back cushion upholstery using Momentum Cover Cloth in Graphite color, with existing seat foam retained unless individual replacement is needed. The contractor must perform offsite sewing and assembly while completing onsite disassembly, installation, and reassembly within 25 business days during summer recess or at a time determined by the school administrator. Bidders must submit sealed proposals by 11:00 AM on Wednesday, October 18, 2017, to Bath Community Schools (6175 E Clark Road, Bath, MI 48808). A mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for Friday, October 6, 2017 at 12:00 noon. Comprehensive pricing must include material costs for new upholstery, labor for removal of existing upholstery, and labor for installation of new upholstery to chair frames, with separate pricing proposals requested for per-chair cushion replacement as needed and for hardware replacement on seat and back units. The project completion target date is November 30, 2017.

The request does not specify set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations eligible to respond, nor does it identify disadvantaged enterprise requirements. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the available documentation. The specification document references existing infrastructure including steel seat bases and polymer back frames attached to floor-mounted platforms with arms that must remain functional and properly integrated with the newly upholstered components. No specific award value or budget range is provided in the procurement documents, requiring interested vendors to develop their own cost proposals based on the detailed specifications outlined.
