RFP 26-0324 District-Wide Security Glazing

The Walled Lake Consolidated School District is soliciting sealed bids for district-wide safety and security glazing installations as part of its 2024 Bond Projects through RFP 26-0324. This procurement seeks prime contractor bids for comprehensive safety and security glazing work across the district's facilities. Bidding documents, including plans and specifications prepared by TMP Architecture of Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, are available through PreconSuite and for physical review at AUCH Construction's office (65 University Drive, Pontiac, Michigan 48342, available after 1:00 pm on February 23, 2026). A mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for 3:00 pm on Thursday, March 5, 2026, at the main entrance of Western High School (600 Beck Road, Commerce Township, Michigan 48390). Sealed proposals in duplicate must be submitted no later than 12:00 pm EST on Tuesday, March 24, 2026, either to Victoria Amore at the Walled Lake Consolidated School District (850 Ladd Road, Building D, Walled Lake, Michigan 48390) or electronically through PreconSuite, with bid opening occurring at 12:00 pm EST on March 24, 2026, at the Educational Services Center and via Microsoft Teams. All proposals must remain firm for sixty days, and qualified bidders must possess prevailing wage registration and compliance with the Iran Economic Sanctions Act, along with sworn and notarized statements disclosing familial relationships with board members or the superintendent and criminal background clearances.

Bid proposals exceeding $31,321 require a bid bond from a Treasury-listed surety company or a cashier's check equal to at least 5% of the proposal amount, while successful bidders with proposals of $50,000 or more must furnish a Performance and Payment Bond in the amount of 100% of their bid, with bond costs included in the proposal. The solicitation does not specify set-aside designations or restrictions targeting disadvantaged enterprises, nor does it identify incumbent vendors or current contractors. The Walled Lake Consolidated School District reserves the right to reject any or all bids and to award the contract based on its determination of the owner's best interests rather than solely on low bid, suggesting evaluation criteria may extend beyond price considerations. While specific budget ranges are not disclosed in the advertisement, the threshold amounts for bonding requirements ($31,321 and $50,000) provide indicators of anticipated project scope and potential award values within or exceeding these ranges.
