RFB-LIB-PLAY&LEARN CHILDREN'S EXHIBIT FURNITURE

The City of Saint Paul Parks Department is soliciting bids for a multiyear master contract to fabricate, furnish, deliver, and assemble children's exhibit furniture designed for creative and imaginative play. The scope includes the production of approximately 15 Imagination Stations, featuring items such as play kiosks, activity tunnel shells, and specialized accessory kits including registers, cooktops, and magnetic prop sets. All furniture must be customized to match specific branch stain colors and adhere to strict child safety standards to prevent pinch points, entrapment, and tipping. The contract is structured as a single-vendor award to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with an initial one-year term and the option for the City to renew for up to four additional one-year periods. The selected vendor is responsible for the entire lifecycle of the deliverables, including the provision of shop drawings and samples for City approval, packaging, freight, inside delivery, assembly, and a minimum one-year warranty. Bidders must submit all responses electronically via the Supplier Portal by December 2, 2026, at 2:00 PM Central Time. Additionally, the contract requires compliance with the Vendor Outreach Program for projects exceeding 50,000 dollars, necessitating the identification of certified minority, women, or small business participants. Payment and subcontractor reporting must be managed through the B2Gnow system, and final payments are contingent upon up-to-date reporting within that platform.
