RPZ Bid

Saginaw Township Community Schools has issued an Invitation to Bid for district-wide Reduced Pressure Zone (RPZ) Testing, seeking a contractor to conduct comprehensive testing across 19 district units. The bid solicitation covers a two-year contract period from July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2027, with sealed proposals due by 2:00 pm on Monday, August 11, 2025, at the Buildings and Grounds Office. The testing will be completed in two distinct phases: Year One Testing between May 1, 2026, and June 15, 2026, and Year Two Testing between May 1, 2027, and June 15, 2027. The successful bidder must coordinate with the Director of Buildings and Grounds to schedule site visits, understand container locations, and align with district operations. Key deliverables include performing annual RPZ testing on all 19 units, providing test results to the owner and local water authority, and obtaining approval for any necessary repairs discovered during testing. The district will evaluate bids based on responsiveness, functional requirements, and pricing, with the intention of selecting the lowest responsive bidder. Contractors must submit pricing for each year of the contract and will be subject to an annual performance review.

The procurement opportunity is open to businesses, with specific requirements that bidders must meet to be considered eligible. Contractors must certify they are not an Iran Linked Business as defined by Michigan Public Act 517 of 2012 and complete a Familial Relationship Affidavit. The district reserves the right to accept or reject any bids and waive irregularities in the bidding process. While no specific set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise requirements are mentioned, the bid appears to be a competitive procurement open to qualified contractors. Non-compliance with contract terms may result in contract termination. Although no specific budget range is provided in the documentation, the scope involves testing 19 district units over a two-year period, suggesting a moderate-value contract. The bidding process emphasizes technical competence, reliability, and the ability to perform specialized RPZ testing across multiple district locations.
