Task Chairs

The Anchor Bay School District has issued a Request for Quote (RFQ) for a comprehensive district-wide procurement of task chairs, targeting seven school buildings across its district. The solicitation seeks 290 mesh mid-back swivel/tilt chairs in black fabric with specific technical requirements, including padded T-bar arms and the capacity to support up to 275 lbs. Chairs will be distributed across multiple schools: Middle School North (50 chairs), Middle School South (50 chairs), Great Oaks Elementary (30 chairs), Lighthouse Elementary (40 chairs), Ashley Elementary (40 chairs), Naldrett Elementary (40 chairs), and Maconce Elementary (40 chairs). Bidders must provide two pricing options: one without installation and one with installation, offering the district procurement flexibility. The bid proposals are due on Friday, May 23, 2025, at 10:30 a.m., with the district planning to award the contract during its May 2025 Board of Education meeting. All materials must be received by August 1, 2025, with potential installation to be completed by August 22, 2025. Vendors are required to submit detailed product specifications, warranty information (minimum five-year manufacturer's warranty), and demonstrate compliance with CAL TB117-2013 and ANSI/BIFMA standards.

The RFQ includes specific vendor requirements such as direct shipping to each building with driver-assisted delivery, and vendors must have a lift gate and pallet jack available. Insurance requirements mandate commercial liability coverage with the district listed as an additional insured, preferring a general liability limit of $1,000,000. Vendors must also complete a familial disclosure form and certify compliance with the Iran Economic Sanctions Act. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are mentioned, the comprehensive requirements suggest a competitive bidding process open to qualified vendors. The solicitation does not specify an exact budget range, but the procurement of 290 chairs across multiple buildings indicates a substantial contract value. The district's detailed specifications and multi-step evaluation process suggest a thorough approach to selecting a vendor that can meet their precise technical and logistical requirements for task chair procurement.
