RFP for Safety Security Window Film installed.

Reeths-Puffer Schools issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) for the installation of safety and security window film across seven school buildings located in Muskegon County, Michigan. The procurement required the installation of optically clear safety and security film and attachment systems at entrances and selected locations across RP Middle School, RP Central Elementary, McMillan Elementary, Pennsylvania Elementary, RPI/RPEL, Twin Lake Elementary, and RP High School, with a total scope encompassing approximately 4,668 square feet of safety film and 7,007 running feet of attachment system. Bids were due by 1:00 p.m. Eastern Time on August 12, 2019, submitted via mail to the Director of Finance at 991 West Giles Road, Muskegon, Michigan 49445, with public bid opening scheduled for the same date and time. All installation work was to be completed by April 15, 2020, with construction restricted to after 4:00 p.m. on weekdays, weekends, or non-school days. Bidders were required to provide pricing on a cost-per-square-foot basis for film installation and cost-per-running-foot basis for attachment system installation, with base bid specifications for Ultra 800 film and alternate pricing options for Ultra 600 film or equivalent products. Contractors must have demonstrated a minimum of five years' experience installing similar products and provided references from five commercial buildings where safety window film was installed within the prior year, with all work performed by contractors from a single manufacturer. Additional requirements included completion of four mandatory documents: a bid proposal sheet, familial relationship disclosure form, affidavit of compliance with Michigan's Iran Economic Sanctions Act, and a general affidavit, with three copies of all required documents to be submitted.

The RFP documentation did not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions based on disadvantaged enterprise status or organization type. No incumbent vendors or current contractors were identified in the procurement materials. No award value or budget range was disclosed in the available documentation, though the district reserved the right to reject any or all bids and to adjust the final contract amount based on actual installation quantities confirmed prior to award. Walkthroughs with the Director of Operations were available through August 8, 2019, allowing prospective bidders to assess installation sites and coordinate with school officials prior to bid submission. The procurement represents a competitive bidding process open to qualified contractors meeting the specified experience and reference requirements without apparent geographic or business type restrictions.
