Request for Doors

The Taylor School District is seeking bids for a comprehensive exterior door replacement project at McDowell Elementary School located in Taylor, Michigan. This procurement is a competitive sealed bid process for selective demolition and installation of new aluminum doors, hardware, and frames. The project requires contractors to completely remove existing exterior doors and replace them with new door systems, ensuring proper fit and functionality. A mandatory pre-bid conference was scheduled for March 28th, 2019, at 2:30 pm in the school lobby, with sealed bids due by 1:00 pm on April 16th, 2019. The district has established two potential completion timelines: the primary completion date is August 12th, 2019, with an alternate completion option of October 1st, 2019, which would require all work to be performed after school hours and on weekends. Bidders must submit bid security equal to 5% of their total bid amount and provide 100% surety bonds for performance and payment of labor and materials. Evaluation criteria include the most advantageous proposal, with the district reserving the right to reject any or all bids.
