White board replacement/upgrade

Comstock Public Schools, located in Kalamazoo County, Michigan, is issuing a Request for Proposal (RFP) for the retrofit and replacement of whiteboards across six school buildings. The procurement seeks proposals for whiteboard installations ranging from 4' x 8' to 4' x 16' in size, with exact quantities and specifications to be determined during a mandatory pre-bid walkthrough. The required whiteboards must feature retrofitted designs installed over existing units and include porcelain steel magnetic surfaces, map rails, and aluminum frames. Proposals must include material samples or scaled versions for inspection, detailed costing with separate line items for retrofit whiteboards, labor, and installation materials at each location, as well as availability timelines and installation schedules. A mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for August 9, 2018, at 9:00 a.m. at Compass High School (3010 Gull Road, Kalamazoo, Michigan 49048), where district representatives will conduct walkthroughs at all six buildings to verify counts and specifications. Proposals must be submitted in person to Ken Greenwood, Business Manager, by August 16, 2018, at 2:00 p.m., with electronic or faxed submissions not accepted. All bidders must submit sworn and notarized conflict of interest affidavits, along with certifications regarding debarment status, nondiscrimination compliance, access to records, and Iran Economic Sanctions Act compliance as required by Michigan law. Technical questions regarding materials or installation should be directed to Sean Gillette at GilletteS@comstockps.org.

The RFP does not specify set-aside designations or restrictions limiting responses to particular categories of organizations such as disadvantaged enterprises or minority-owned businesses. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the procurement documents. The district reserves the right to reject any or all bids and will make final award determinations based on the district's specific needs, with consideration given to alternate designs and proposals. No budget range or award value is explicitly stated in the available documentation, though costs will be evaluated based on the detailed line-item pricing submitted by bidders for materials, labor, and installation across all six school locations.
