Fruitport Community Schools is requesting proposals for classroom furniture procurement and installation at Fruitport High School. The project involves the purchase and installation of three distinct styles of classroom tables with varying leg heights (27.75", 34.75", and 40.75"), along with teacher desks and lateral file cabinets. Estimated quantities include 302 tables at 27.75" height, 126 tables at 34.75" height, 136 tables at 40.75" height, 37 teacher desks, and 37 lateral file cabinets. All furniture must be supplied by a single manufacturer and installed by the manufacturer's authorized installer in compliance with standard installation procedures. Bidders must submit three copies of all required documents, including samples of one table, desk, and lateral file, and must provide a reference list of five school districts where they have installed classroom furniture within the past five years. The proposal must include product specifications and warranties, with all shipping, delivery, unloading, moving, installation, setup costs, and waste disposal included in the bid price. The bid submission deadline is 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time on August 1, 2019, with bids to be submitted by mail to the Director of Business Services at 3331 Pontaluna Rd., Fruitport, MI 49415.

No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the procurement documentation. Bidders are required to complete affidavits regarding familial relationships with Board of Education members and compliance with the Michigan Iran Economic Sanctions Act.
