Westwood Event Seating and Staging Solutions

Paragraph 1:

The state of Michigan, in partnership with the Michigan Association of Counties (MAC) CoPro+ Program, has issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for Event Seating and Staging Solutions, designated as RFP WEST-04-2023-2024-12. The procurement is being conducted for the jurisdictions of Wayne County and Dearborn City. The RFP seeks qualified vendors to establish a statewide cooperative contract for the provision of indoor and outdoor grandstands, bleachers, telescopic seating, arena seating, stages, platforms, and related services such as pre-construction design, installation, safety inspections, repair, renovation, and refurbishment. The RFP requires vendors to provide pricing on both non-specified and specified items, with encouragement to offer high-volume pricing discounts. A mandatory pre-proposal meeting is scheduled for February 13, 2024, and proposals are due by February 29, 2024.

Paragraph 2:

The RFP does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. Similarly, the provided information does not list any incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor does it mention any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The contract will have an initial term of three years with two one-year renewal options, and a 2% administrative fee will be remitted to the CoPro+ program quarterly based on actual sales volume. The funding for the award is contingent upon approval from the Westwood Community School District Board of Education, but the RFP does not provide any details regarding the possible award values or budget ranges.
