Delta State University has issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for Athletic Field Lighting for its baseball and softball fields, located on Stadium Drive in Cleveland, MS 38733. The project involves removing and replacing existing light fixtures at both athletic fields, with proposals due on October 2, 2025, and an owner turnover date of January 23, 2026. The base bid scope includes installing new LED sports lights with MUSCO Light structure systems, featuring light levels of 70 footcandles in infields and 50 footcandles in outfields, along with new switches and electrical controls.

The RFP includes three alternates: Alternate 1 increases footcandle requirements to 100 in infields and 70 in outfields for potential NCAA major events; Alternate 2 adds Showlight Entertainment Technology with color-changing RGBW luminaries for team colors and theatrical effects; and Alternate 3 provides similar entertainment technology with additional structural lighting capabilities. Bidders are required to submit pricing for the base bid and each alternate separately, with Delta State University reserving the right to select any combination of the bids. The university is exempt from federal excise taxes and state and local sales taxes, and the contract will be awarded to the lowest and best responsible bidder meeting specifications.
