Window Treatment Service and Supply

The Parkway School District in Missouri is soliciting competitive bids for window treatment services and supplies to be provided on an as-needed basis at various locations throughout the district. This procurement seeks qualified contractors to provide comprehensive window treatment solutions including manual and motorized blinds, manual and motorized roller shades, and associated installation services across multiple district facilities. Bidders must submit pricing using the District's standardized pricing sheet, which establishes labor categories (Project Manager, Manual Operable Window Treatment Installer, Motorized Operable Window Treatment Installer, and Clerical staff) with hourly rates for regular time, overtime, and double-time work, as well as percent discounts for furnish-only and furnish-and-install options. The District requires that all bids be submitted exclusively through the Parkway School District Bonfire Portal at https://parkwayschools.bonfirehub.com/ no later than March 24, 2026, at 2:00 PM CST, with no exceptions to this deadline permitted. Evaluation will be conducted on a "lowest and best" basis considering factors including how well items meet specifications, the vendor's ability to supply all or most required items, commitment to maintain sufficient inventory, prior experience with the District, financial strength of the company, and other factors deemed significant by District officials. The District awards contracts for a period of one year or until all specified supplies are delivered, whichever expires first, with the option to extend for one additional month under identical terms and conditions by written notice, and vendors may propose multi-year agreements with a maximum of ten additional years beyond the initial year. No subcontractors are permitted on this solicitation.

This procurement contains no identified set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises or other restricted vendor categories. However, the District maintains a procurement policy that encourages purchases of products manufactured, assembled, or produced in the United States and provides preference to commodities manufactured, mined, produced, or grown within Missouri when quality, price, and delivery are approximately equal. All contractors must comply with the Federal Work Authorization Program as established by Missouri Revised Statute 285.530, which requires participation in the E-Verify federal work authorization program and execution of a sworn affidavit confirming enrollment prior to or concurrent with contract execution; failure to comply constitutes material breach of the contract. The District does not identify any incumbent vendors or existing contractor information within the available procurement documents. No specific contract award values, budget ranges, or total funding amounts are disclosed in the procurement solicitation materials. Vendors must provide three references preferably from educational institutions, maintain all insurance as required by the District with proof of coverage, maintain tobacco-free environments on District property, and comply with comprehensive non-discrimination policies and the Missouri Anti-Discrimination Against Israel Act.
