1.3 OBJECTIVE OF RFP<br />

The objective of this Request for Proposal (RFP) is to offer experienced professional facilities<br />

management companies the opportunity to present a thoroughly detailed Proposal of their expertise<br />

and qualifications to The School District of the City of Saginaw. The subsequent Proposal will detail<br />

the Contractor’s experience and expertise in assisting districts of similar size and scope as The<br />

School District of the City of Saginaw with their facilities management services outsourcing process.<br />

This Proposal specifically requests that Proposers present their qualifications and experience in<br />

facilities management services. Refer to Proposal Format Section 1.9<br />

The School District of the City of Saginaw will select the Proposal that it deems most qualified to<br />

serve the best interests of the District. The Contract will be awarded, if at all, to the lowest<br />

responsible Contractor who provides the best value, while meeting specifications as determined by<br />

the Board of Education. Proposals should be submitted on the premise that The School District of<br />

the City of Saginaw intends to Contract as a single unit, and that the Proposal must be acceptable to<br />

the Board. Acceptance of a Proposal by the School District does not constitute a Contract. The<br />

final Contract document will be subject to negotiation and the Board will approve execution of a<br />

Contract. While the financial responsibility of the Contractor is a significant concern, the Board is<br />

equally concerned with the proven ability of the Contractor to satisfactorily perform the Contract so<br />

that the services will be provided in accordance with the proposed Contract. Refer to proposed<br />

Contract; Appendix H.<br />

The School District of the City of Saginaw expects the Contractor to continuously use its expertise in<br />

order to streamline operations and costs while maintaining service levels and complying with Board<br />

policy and safety guidelines. Periodically, The School District of the City of Saginaw will request the<br />

Contractor to identify and implement operational efficiencies that will lead to cost reductions in<br />

facilities management services as cost reductions are pursued in other School District services.<br />

Savings will accrue to The School District of the City of Saginaw in accordance with a decrease in<br />

facilities management staffing. All Proposers are required at a minimum to submit a base bid.<br />

The RFP will be based on the premise that The School District of the City of Saginaw will loan all<br />

equipment as listed in Appendix E & G to the Contractor and the School District will hold title to all<br />

such equipment. The Contractor will have access to this equipment for such things as cleaning,<br />

grass cutting, trimming and snow removal. This equipment will be maintained by the Contractor.<br />

The Contractor should include all repairs necessary to keep the listed equipment in an “As Is<br />

Condition” subject to normal wear and tear. The Proposal should include an allowance of $35,000<br />

to purchase new equipment in each year of the Contract. The School District of the City of Saginaw<br />

shall hold title to all such equipment and the Contractor shall be required to provide repairs as<br />

necessary to the new equipment. Requests for all new equipment shall be submitted for approval to<br />

The School District of the City of Saginaw Operations Manager or his/her designee. In the event the<br />

allowance is not spent, the remaining funds will be returned to the School District. The Contractor<br />

shall be liable for any misuse or injury caused by the operation of the equipment. If the Contractor
