West Ottawa Public Schools in Michigan is soliciting bids for a comprehensive safety alert system integration centered on Singlewire’s Visitor Aware and Alert Badge technology, fully compatible with its existing InformaCast software infrastructure. The solicitation, identified as RFP-WOP-260000002387-1, was posted on July 17, 2026, with a firm bid deadline of August 3, 2026, at 11:30 AM local time. The scope requires the supply and installation of 830 wearable Alert Badges, between 10 and 22 hardware units scaled to facility size, and over 1,000 software licenses across multiple InformaCast modules, including Reach, Mobile App, Desktop Alert, and Wall Display licenses, as well as integrations with fire panels and PA systems. All pricing must be all-inclusive, covering material, delivery, and installation with no additional charges allowed, and no substitutions for specified equipment are permitted under any circumstances. Bids must be submitted as two signed paper copies in sealed envelopes clearly labeled “Safety Alert Badges” with the bidder’s name, with no electronic, fax, or telephonic submissions accepted. Mandatory compliance includes a notarized Affidavit of Bidder confirming no familial relationships with school board members or the superintendent, and a separate Iran Linked Business Affidavit certifying compliance with Michigan Public Act No. 517 of 2012; false certification for the latter carries severe penalties including civil fines up to $250,000 or twice the contract value, reimbursement of legal costs, and a three-year ban from future Michigan public contracts. For bids exceeding $50,000, a Payment and Performance (PLM) bond must be submitted separately. All bids must remain firm and binding for 90 days from the bid opening date. The place of performance and delivery is the West Ottawa Public Schools Administration Building in Holland, Michigan, and while no formal evaluation weights, contract type, or delivery schedule are specified, award will be based on compliance and cost, with the district reserving the right to accept the bid in its best interest. No UEI, CAGE, or socioeconomic certifications are required, and there are no defined inspection criteria beyond strict adherence to stated specifications.
