This document is a Request for Proposal (RFP) from Delta State University for a new sound system and digital scoreboard at Parker Field Stadium. The project offers two alternates: the Base Bid involves replacing the existing football scoreboard with a new, all-digital LED scoreboard (38'-6" wide by 24'-8" tall), and Alternate 1 includes similar scoreboard specifications with two distinct zones for video/advertisements and timekeeping. Alternate 2 focuses on a modern, high-quality sound system capable of supporting game day announcements, music playback, emergency alerts, and public addresses throughout the entire venue. The university requires a "turn-key" system with no additional components and prefers an inline speaker system over a horn system.

The proposal evaluation will be conducted by a team including university leadership, with proposals scored across multiple categories: 30% for pricing, 30% for design, 20% for references, 10% for warranty, 5% for past campus experience, and 5% for schedule. Bidders must provide comprehensive documentation including technical specifications, drawings, mockups, means and methods, schedule, warranty information, and at least 5 references from similar projects completed in the last 5 years in southeastern states. The university prefers references from colleges/universities in Mississippi and the Gulf South Conference. Delta State University reserves the right to reject proposals that do not meet the specified requirements.
