Custodial Supplies

Questions Due Date: Nov 8th 2022, 11:00 AM Intent to Bid Due Date: Nov 10th 2022, 10:30 AM CST Parkway School District is seeking bids, from qualified distributors, to provide the district custodial supply products, to be ordered on an as needed basis, as required, throughout the term of the contract, under a blanket purchase order agreement. The District estimates that during the term of this agreement it will spend approximately $35,000 for a twelve (12) month period. This is not a guarantee but is listed for vendor guidance in estimating a discount. The District does not guarantee any quantities that it will purchase as a result of this invitation for bid. The initial term of the contract will be for twelve (12) months. Vendors have the opportunity to offer the district multi-year proposals in item number two of the vendor signature section. The successful vendor would be the prime supplier for all the major item(s) listed in these specifications. When an item is required and is not immediately available, the District retains the option to secure the item(s) from another source. The prime supplier would have the option to stock the item for future orders under the same conditions of the original agreement. Releases from the blanket purchase order will be made as needed. A list of Parkway personnel authorized to release orders will be made available to the successful vendor. The person placing an order must provide to the vendor the department blanket purchase order number or an individual purchase order number. Packing slips are required with each shipment. The purchase order number must appear on the invoice, packing slip, and all cartons. No substitutions shall be made on any item ordered without authorization from the ordering or purchasing department. No exceptions may be drawn to this clause. All unauthorized substitutions as well as unacceptable products will be returned at no expense to the District. If bidding a different brand other than those specified, the bidder shall be required to include the make, model and case size bid. Failure to do so may result in the rejection of your bid. The Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) has established the Missouri Green Cleaning Guidelines and Specifications for Schools (Green Guidelines). See Attached. These are guidelines and specifications for products and equipment that directly impact the learning environment of students. The Parkway School District wants to be aware of the products and equipment that enters our district and classrooms. As part of this bid process you will be required to indicate Yes, No or an N/A answer as to indicate if the product you are bidding complies with these guidelines. If a product is either not indicated appropriately, or falsely represented, Parkway School District reserves the right to throw out the entire vendors bid response.
