Request for locker replacement

Niles Community Schools is seeking sealed bids for a comprehensive locker replacement project at Niles High School, specifically targeting the Girls and Boys Varsity locker rooms. The procurement involves removing existing lockers and installing 53 Welded Collegiate Lockers (24" wide, 72" high), 23 Welded Collegiate lockers (18x24x72"), 32 Welded Collegiate 2 Wide lockers, 9 and 16 All Welded Single Tier Lockers, respectively. Additional deliverables include 4 ADA Wood Benches, 4 shelves, 4 ADA locks, 76 shoulder pad and helmet racks, and 86 seat pads. The lockers will be Navy Blue with Vegas Gold seat cushions, and the project must comply with TMP Architecture drawings and ADA requirements. Sealed proposals are due by 9:00 A.M. on June 14, 2019, with bid approval scheduled for the District's Board Meeting on June 17, 2019. All questions should be directed to Jeff Upton at jeff.upton@nilesschools.org, and bidders must submit comprehensive documentation including a familial disclosure statement and an affidavit of Compliance with the Iran Economic Sanctions Act.

The procurement does not specify specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Bidders must provide a $1,000,000 insurance certificate naming Niles Community Schools as an interested party and will be responsible for removing existing lockers. The Board of Education reserves the right to accept or reject any bids, award the contract to a non-low bidder, and waive irregularities. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the locker replacement suggests a significant investment in school infrastructure. Successful bidders must maintain liability insurance and contractor's liability coverage for bodily injury, sickness, disease, and property damage. The project will require careful coordination, as the school does not own a forklift and the project manager will receive deliveries. Final lien waivers will be part of the contract completion requirements.
