Request for Classroom Storage Units/Cubbies

Richmond Community Schools, a Michigan K-12 public school district serving 1,400 students, is issuing a Request for Proposal (RFP) for classroom storage units and cubbies across multiple school locations in Macomb County. The procurement requires bidders to provide comprehensive installation services including two to three open-face shelves spanning one classroom wall, 32-36 individual open-face student cubbies (approximately 8-9 inches on center) with spaces for books and supplies plus two coat hooks per cubby, one 12-18 inch locking teacher cabinet with interior shelving, wall preparation and painting, and complete removal of existing cabinetry. Pricing shall be submitted on a per-classroom and total basis with FOB delivery, and all costs must be inclusive of unpacking, uncrating, delivery, removal of existing equipment, and disposal, with no additional charges permitted. Bidders must submit sealed proposals by Friday, March 1, 2019 at 2:00 p.m. EST to the Richmond Community Schools Business Office at 35276 Division, Richmond, Michigan 48062, and must provide an Intent to Respond via email to Tammie Schadd, Director of Business and Management Services, by noon on Monday, February 18, 2019. A mandatory site walkthrough is scheduled for Thursday, February 14, 2019 at 3:00 p.m., beginning at Will L. Lee Elementary School and proceeding to Richmond Middle School where primary installation will occur. Clarification requests must be submitted by noon on Friday, February 22, 2019. All proposals must include complete descriptive literature, product specifications, brochures, pictures, manufacturer's data, the names of three similar-sized K-12 school districts where comparable work has been completed with contact information and years of service, proof of workers' compensation and general liability insurance, a 10 percent good faith deposit in the form of a bid bond or certified check, and signed Attachments A (Familial Disclosure Statement) and B (Affidavit of Compliance with the Iran Economic Sanctions Act). The School District intends to award the contract by March 25, 2019, with all storage units installed and operational by June 30, 2019, and a minimum one-year warranty is required.

The RFP does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations eligible to respond, and no incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified. The evaluation criteria include quality, conformity to specifications, delivery schedule, warranty, price, and references, and the School District reserves the right to reject any or all bids, waive irregularities, split awards among multiple bidders, and select other than the lowest bidder. No specific budget range or award value is disclosed in the procurement documents, though pricing is to be submitted by bidders based on per-classroom and total installation costs across multiple school locations. The School District maintains full discretion in the award decision and selection process.
