Request for School Safety / Security Window Film

Comstock Park Public Schools Board of Education is issuing a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the purchase and installation of safety and security window film across five school buildings within Kent County, Michigan. The procurement seeks optically clear polyester film, nominally 8 mils thick with pressure-sensitive adhesive, to be applied to exterior entryway glass, classroom casements, cafeteria glass, interior door glass, and interior casement windows across Mill Creek Middle School, Comstock Park High School, Stoney Creek Elementary, Pine Island Elementary, and Greenridge Elementary, with approximately 2,194 to 4,062 linear feet of wet glaze application per building. All work must be completed by August 15, 2019, with sealed bids due no later than 12:00 noon on March 15, 2019, at which time bids will be publicly opened and read aloud at the Comstock Park Public Schools Board Room. An optional pre-bid walkthrough is scheduled for 9:00 a.m. on Monday, February 18, 2019, at Comstock Park Schools Central Office, 101 School Street NE, Comstock Park, Michigan 49321. Film specifications must comply with ANSI Z97.1, ASTM standards, and Consumer Products Safety Commission requirements, with minimum performance standards including 400 ft-lbs impact resistance, GSA Rating of "2" blast hazard mitigation performance, 99.9% UV light rejection, and a minimum six-pound peel strength, with acceptable manufacturers limited to 3M Window Film, Eastman Chemical, and Solar Gard. Installers must demonstrate a minimum of five years' demonstrated experience and provide references from five commercial buildings where similar work has been completed. Pricing must reflect the best materials available at the lowest cost to maximize window coverage within the grant award limits.

Bidders must submit sworn and notarized statements disclosing any familial relationships with Board of Education members or the Superintendent, and must provide certification that they are not Iran-linked businesses under the Iran Economic Sanctions Act of 2012. The RFP does not specify set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the procurement documents. The project is funded through a Michigan State Police School Safety Grant, though the specific award value or budget range is not disclosed in the available documentation. The Board of Education reserves the right to accept or reject any or all bids and to award to other than the low bidder, indicating flexibility in the selection process based on factors beyond price alone.
