About this opportunity

The Madison Metropolitan School District's Curriculum & Instruction department issued Request for Bid (RFB 4018) on May 31, 2018, seeking bids for 91 string instruments for educational purposes. The procurement specifically requires Eastman Model 80 instrument outfits, which include the instrument, fiberglass bow, and case, across multiple sizes and types: 20 full-size cellos, 16 three-quarter-size cellos, 4 bass instruments, 8 thirteen-inch violas, 5 fourteen-inch violas, 14 half-size violins, 18 full-size violins, and 6 quarter-size violins. The bid submission deadline was set for June 29, 2018, at 2:00 PM (CST), with bids to be submitted in one original plus three copies via U.S. mail, hand delivery, or delivery service to Administrative Services at 4711 Pflaum Road, Madison, Wisconsin 53718. Vendors were required to provide unit prices and total costs, reflecting governmental and educational discounts, with all instruments to be fully set up and ready to play, including necessary technician adjustments. The initial contract period ran from May 31, 2018, through August 31, 2018, with all pricing to remain firm during this timeframe, and delivery mandated within 45 days of Purchase Order issuance.

Vendors were permitted to bid on all or part of the itemized list and could submit alternative comparable makes and models for consideration, though the District retained sole decision-making authority on equivalency. The District reserved the right to purchase from a single or multiple vendors as deemed most advantageous, with award to be made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder meeting all specifications. Non-exempt vendors were required to comply with affirmative action and equal employment opportunity requirements, with exemptions for vendors having 15 or fewer employees or annual aggregate business of $25,000 or less. While no specific budget range was explicitly stated, the comprehensive procurement of 91 instruments suggests a substantial investment in the district's music education infrastructure. Vendors were expected to include all shipping and handling costs in their unit pricing, and the District maintained flexibility in vendor selection to ensure the best overall value and quality for the school system's musical instrument needs.
