Rohs vertical lift modernization

The Royal Oak School District is seeking competitive bids for a Vertical Platform Lift (VPL) Modernization project at Royal Oak High School, involving the removal of existing lifts and installation of two new vertical platform lifts with specific technical requirements. The procurement is structured as a sealed bid process, with proposals due by 10:30 AM on Friday, June 28, 2019, and a mandatory pre-bid meeting scheduled for Wednesday, June 19, 2019, at the high school's front office. Each vertical platform lift must have a 750-pound capacity, operate at 10 feet per minute, and include a DC battery-powered drive system with manual emergency lowering capabilities. Contractors are required to provide comprehensive engineering, labor, materials, transportation, services, and equipment for the project, with a mandatory 18-month warranty and preventive maintenance included. The project must be completed by August 26, 2019, and all installation personnel must pass criminal background checks. Evaluation criteria appear to include bid pricing, technical compliance, local vendor status, and the ability to meet specific equipment and safety specifications.

The contract does not explicitly outline set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, but it does include several restrictive requirements that will impact potential bidders. Contractors must submit a certified check or bid bond of at least 5% of the proposal amount and provide sworn statements disclosing any familial relationships with school board members and confirming they are not an "Iran linked business." The base quotation for the project is $18,000 for removal and installation of new vertical platform lifts, with warranty maintenance costs included in this price. Two potential alternates are available: a deductive option to retain existing landing entrances and an option to provide a battery lowering system. The Royal Oak School District reserves the right to reject any or all quotations and is not obligated to enter into a contract. All bids will remain firm for 60 days from the opening date, with the recommended contract award to be submitted to the Board of Education at their July 18, 2019 meeting.
