Mason Public Schools is seeking multiple prime sealed bids for a comprehensive school furniture and equipment procurement for the James Harvey Education Center located in Mason, Michigan. The procurement spans furniture and installation for multiple educational spaces, including kindergarten classrooms, Pre-K rooms, ECSE areas, multipurpose spaces, and support facilities. Detailed architectural plans specify furniture quantities and types, with specific coded items like student chairs (CH1-CH10B), teacher stations (TA1-TA3), and storage units (ST1-ST5). The bid requires two complete copies of the proposal, with a mandatory 5% bid security in the form of a bid bond, certified check, cashier's check, or money order. Sealed bids must be delivered to Ronald Drzewicki, Superintendent, by 10:00 A.M. local time on Thursday, February 28, 2019, with proposals remaining firm for 60 days from the bid opening date. Bidders must complete an Affidavit of Bidder form and Affidavit of Compliance regarding Iran Economic Sanctions Act, and the Board of Education reserves the right to accept or reject any bids based on the board's best interest.

The procurement does not explicitly indicate specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. For bids exceeding $50,000, Performance and Labor and Material Payment Bonds covering 100% of the project value are required, with these costs excluded from the base bid. Prevailing wage rates do not apply to this project. Electronic Bidding Documents are available through GMB Architecture + Engineering's website after February 13, 2019. While specific budget ranges are not detailed in the documentation, the comprehensive nature of the furniture procurement across multiple educational spaces suggests a significant investment. The bid encompasses furniture for various specialized areas including a Staff Co-Lab, OT/PT room, MOCI space, and extended learning areas, indicating a complex and potentially high-value procurement. Potential bidders should carefully review the architectural plans and bid specifications to understand the full scope of the furniture and installation requirements.
