Marshall Public Schools is seeking bids for the installation of two natural gas-powered backup generators at Marshall Middle School and Marshall Opportunity High School in Michigan, under solicitation RFP-MARS-260000002399-2. At Marshall Middle School, a 22kW generator is to be installed on the roof of the power house to support critical systems in the head-end room, while at Marshall Opportunity High School, a 30kW three-phase 480V generator will be installed adjacent to the boiler room to power the food service kitchen, including lighting and appliances. Both installations require dedicated 100-amp electrical panels, transfer switches, and full natural gas supply line connections. Proposals must include detailed technical specifications and pricing, and alternative suggestions with separate pricing are permitted. Bids are due by 3:00 PM on August 4, 2026, and must be submitted in sealed physical form to the district’s finance office; electronic submissions are strictly prohibited. The contract award is anticipated for August 10, 2026, with no specified performance period beyond that. Certain mandatory certifications and requirements are strictly enforced. Each bidder must submit a sworn and notarized Familial Disclosure Statement as required under Michigan Public Act 232 of 2004, disclosing any familial ties to school board members, the superintendent, or business manager; failure to comply results in immediate bid rejection. In addition, a sworn and notarized affidavit confirming compliance with the Iran Economic Sanctions Act (Public Act 517 of 2012) is required, with false certifications triggering civil penalties of up to $250,000 or twice the contract value, reimbursement of legal costs, and a three-year ban from Michigan public contracting. For bids exceeding $50,000, a bid bond equal to 5% of the bid amount issued by a U.S. Treasury-listed surety company or a cashier’s check must accompany the submission, with bond costs included in the proposal pricing. All bids must remain firm and irrevocable for 60 days.
