Van Dyke Public Schools in Warren, Michigan, has issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) for a door access control system installation project spanning eight district locations. The procurement seeks a contractor to install swipe card access systems at Lincoln High School, Lincoln Middle School, Lincoln Elementary School, Carlson Elementary School, McKinley Elementary School, Kennedy Early Childhood Center, Administration Building, Service Building, and Thompson Community Center. The project requires integration with the existing Vanderbilt Access Control System, with specific equipment requirements including VSRC-A or VRINX systems, readers, electric strikes, and specific lockset models. Contractors must have at least five years of experience in door access system installation, with all work performed by direct employees. The pre-bid meeting is scheduled for March 4, 2025, at 10:00am, with bid submissions due on March 11, 2025, by 2:00pm. Bidders must submit a bid bond or certified check for 5% of the total bid price, and preferred installation times are between 3:30pm and 11:00pm to minimize disruption to educational programs. The project is partially or fully funded by state funds and must comply with Michigan's prevailing wage guidelines under MCL-Act 10 of 2023. While no specific set-aside designations are mentioned, contractors awarded contracts over $50,000 must provide a performance and payment bond. The existing infrastructure involves the Vanderbilt Access Control System, which requires careful integration with the new access control installations. Contractors will be expected to complete the entire project by June 30, 2025, with a one-year warranty on the complete installation. Payment terms include invoicing within 30 days after work completion, with the district making payment 30 days after project acceptance. Although a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the complexity of installing access control systems across eight different locations suggests a significant project scope and potential substantial contract value.
