RFP Carpet

JKL Bahweting School, a public school academy located in Sault Sainte Marie, Michigan, issued this Request for Proposal (RFP) on September 10, 2018, seeking qualified vendors to purchase and install new carpet squares and cove base in 10 classrooms and 1 hallway within the upper elementary wing. The procurement requires removal of existing carpet and cove base, installation of matching carpet throughout all areas with yellow cove base in the hallway and black cove base in classrooms, moving and returning classroom furniture, and coordination of installation during school breaks or non-session times on a room-by-room basis. Vendor responses must include a detailed quotation encompassing all material, supply, and labor costs for removal and installation, along with three required forms: vendor contact information, a notarized Iran Economic Sanctions Act affidavit certifying non-association with Iran-linked businesses, and a sworn, notarized relationship disclosure statement disclosing any familial connections between the bidder's ownership or employees and JKL Board of Education members or the superintendent. An on-site visit is mandatory for all responding vendors to determine appropriate material quantities and to view a sample of the required carpet squares for manufacturer and style verification. Sealed bids are due September 24, 2018, at 2:00 PM EST, submitted to the Director of Business and Finance at the school's address, with bids lacking any required documentation subject to rejection without further consideration.

The RFP does not identify specific set-aside designations or restrictions limiting responses to disadvantaged enterprises or particular organization types, nor does it reference incumbent vendors or current contractors. No existing infrastructure or technology integration requirements are specified in this procurement. The document indicates that the school is tax-exempt and will provide tax documentation at the time of purchase, though no specific award value or budget range is disclosed in the available materials. The school board approval, notification of award, and final purchase and installation dates are to be determined. The school reserves the right to accept or reject any bids, waive minor discrepancies, and is not bound to accept the lowest bid or to award a contract or reimburse proposal preparation costs.
