Spray In Fibar

The City of Royal Oak, located in Oakland County, Michigan, is seeking proposals for a Spray In Fibar project involving the supply, delivery, and installation of Certified Engineered Wood Fibar (EWF) Playground Mulch. The procurement requires vendors to provide 1,000 cubic yards of EWF playground mulch for spray installation across nine municipal parks, including Exchange Park, Upton Park, Maudlin Park, Dickinson Park, Miller Park, Memorial Park, Lockman Park, V.F.W. Park, and Pioneer Park, with an additional 200 cubic yards to be delivered to the Department of Public Services. Proposals must be submitted electronically through the OpenGov procurement portal by April 30, 2025, at 12:00 pm, with submissions remaining valid for 90 days. The city will evaluate proposals based on vendors' previous experience, performance, and overall best interest, potentially requesting oral presentations from finalists. Key proposal requirements include comprehensive insurance documentation ($1,000,000 in commercial general liability coverage), a non-collusion affidavit, debarment certification, and verification of non-Iran linked business status.

The procurement does not explicitly indicate specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, though the RFP emphasizes non-discrimination policies and ethical guidelines for potential bidders. Vendors must comply with the city's comprehensive documentation requirements, including providing detailed certifications and adherence to local procurement regulations. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated in the available documentation, the scope of work suggests a moderate-scale municipal infrastructure improvement project. The city reserves the right to reject any or all proposals and to accept the submission most favorable to its interests. Potential bidders should be prepared to demonstrate technical capability, relevant experience in playground mulch installation, and compliance with all municipal procurement standards. No information is provided about incumbent vendors or existing technological infrastructure that might require integration with this project.
