RFP-GHAP-260000002396-1 | ELEVATOR AND BFLD CODE UPGRADES

The Grand Haven Area Public Schools district is soliciting proposals for comprehensive elevator and building code upgrades across seven school facilities, including Lakeshore Middle School, Ferry Elementary, the Education Service Center, High School Library, PAC, Stage Lift, and Aquatics. All work must comply with ASME A17.1 safety standards and ADA accessibility requirements, with equipment specified as non-proprietary, open-access, and maintainable by any licensed third-party contractor without reliance on OEM-specific tools or restricted software. Contractors must submit itemized, project-specific bids for each location and are required to attend a mandatory pre-bid site walkthrough of all seven sites; failure to attend results in automatic disqualification. All personnel must undergo criminal background checks and fingerprinting, and are strictly prohibited from interacting with students. Bidders must also submit an Iran Linked Business Affidavit certifying no ties to sanctioned Iranian entities and a Familial Disclosure Statement revealing any personal relationships with school district officials, with the latter requiring detailed supplemental information if a relationship is disclosed. Insurance requirements include general liability, automotive, and workers’ compensation coverage, and a minimum one-year warranty with 24/7 emergency response is mandated. Installation must occur only during non-instructional hours after 4:00 PM or during school breaks. Proposals must be submitted as sealed physical documents to the contracting office by August 3, 2026, at 10:00 AM; electronic submissions are not accepted. The award will be made on a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable basis, with all technical requirements serving as mandatory pass-fail thresholds. No contract value is disclosed, and there are no specified payment, accounting, or invoicing procedures in the documentation. The primary point of contact is Jason MacKay, Director of Operations.
