RFP for window films

Spring Lake Public Schools in Ottawa County, Michigan, is seeking proposals for a safety-focused window film installation project across multiple school facilities, including Holmes Elementary School, Jeffers Elementary School, Intermediate/Middle School, and Spring Lake High School. The Request for Proposal (RFP) requires contractors to submit two sealed proposals and one PDF copy by October 15, 2019, at 2:00 pm. The project specifications mandate the installation of 3M Ultra S800 security window film, which is 8 mil thick, comprised of 42 micro-layers, and possesses 32,000 psi tensile strength. Detailed installation requirements include comprehensive window preparation, precise edge cutting, gasket removal, backer rod installation, silicone sealant application, and implementation of a BondKap security film anchoring system. Contractors must provide unit pricing per square foot of security window film and submit both total base bid and individual building breakout costs. Evaluation criteria will likely include pricing, technical capabilities, installation methodology, and compliance with detailed project specifications.

The procurement appears to be open to qualified contractors without specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. Contractors must provide comprehensive insurance coverage, including workers compensation, general liability, automobile liability, and personal injury protection with specified minimum coverage amounts. The project is funded through a safety grant and includes a 5-year manufacturer's warranty covering solar reflective properties and protection against film defects such as cracking, crazing, delaminating, peeling, or discoloration. For authorized changes, contractors will be permitted a 15% markup for work not under subcontract and a 10% markup for work under subcontract, applicable to both additions and deductions. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the project involves window film installation across multiple school buildings, suggesting a substantial project value. Interested contractors will need to demonstrate technical expertise in security window film installation, adherence to precise specifications, and the ability to work within a school district environment.
