About this file
This memorandum is a bid rejection notice from the School Board of Sarasota County, Florida regarding Bid #27-0132 for Scoreboards and Installation Services. The solicitation was issued on May 20, 2026, with bids received from four vendors on June 10, 2026. The School Board seeks to establish a contract for the purchase and installation of complete scoreboards, including training and all associated labor, materials, equipment, and subcontracted services for district-wide use on an as-needed basis. All four submitted bids—from Daktronics, Inc., All Electro-Mech Scoreboard Co., i2 Visual Inc., and Monarch Sign Factory—were rejected as non-responsive to the solicitation requirements. The primary reasons for rejection included failure to meet technical detail specifications and omission of required scoreboard specification sheets.
The School Board determined that none of the bids adequately satisfied the minimum technical requirements established in the solicitation documents. The rejection was recommended by Tracy Brizendine, Director of Materials Management, with support from Jody Dumas, Executive Director of Facilities Management, and Dr. Michael Kemp, Chief of Operations. No financial impact was recorded for Fiscal Year 2026-2027, as funds were not allocated due to the bid rejection. The solicitation aligns with the district's Strategic Plan Pillar 4 regarding equipping every school and creating high-quality infrastructure. The School Board indicated that the solicitation will be reissued in the future to obtain compliant proposals that meet the established specifications.
