Request For Proposal

Fitzgerald Public Schools in Warren, Michigan has issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) designated as BP19-1 for Exterior Window Security Film installation across multiple school buildings. The procurement seeks vendors to provide and install security window film on existing glass entry points, with a focus on enhancing building security. Key dates for this opportunity include a pre-bid meeting scheduled for March 12, 2019, at 3:00 PM in the Neigebaur Administration Building gymnasium, and sealed bid submissions due on March 19, 2019, at 2:00 PM. Bidders are required to submit two complete copies of their proposals in sealed envelopes, accompanied by 5% bid security. The project specifications mandate that performance and payment bonds are mandatory for bids exceeding $50,000, and the procurement is non-prevailing wage due to specific funding requirements. Bidders must also include sworn statements confirming familial relationships and compliance with Iran Economic Sanctions Act. The project architect is PARTNERS in Architecture, PLC of Mt. Clemens, MI, and bidders can obtain bid documents by emailing jhoulihan@partnersinarch.com.

The procurement appears to have no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. Electronic or fax submissions will not be accepted, and bids cannot be withdrawn for 60 days after opening. The Board of Education reserves the right to reject any or all bids and evaluate alternatives if low bidders do not meet specified requirements. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly detailed, the requirement for performance and payment bonds for bids over $50,000 suggests a potential project value in that range. The procurement is limited to qualified vendors capable of providing professional window security film installation services for educational facilities. Interested bidders must demonstrate technical capability, compliance with specified documentation requirements, and the ability to meet the security enhancement objectives of the Fitzgerald Public Schools district.
