2022 Bond Projects District Wide PA & Clock Upgrades

Clarkston Community Schools' Board of Education is seeking bids for a District-Wide PA & Clock Upgrade project involving low voltage structured cabling and device installations across eleven educational facilities, including elementary, middle, and high schools, plus an administration center. The procurement opportunity was posted on February 19, 2025, with bids due by February 27, 2025 at 2:00 pm EST, with multiple submission options including electronic submission through PreconSuite and hardcopy delivery. A mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for February 17, 2025 at 10:00 am at North Sashabaw Elementary, and the bid documents can be downloaded from PreconSuite or reviewed at George W. Auch Company. Bidders must submit a bid bond or cashier's check for 5% of proposals exceeding $30,512, and those with proposals over $50,000 must provide Performance and Payment Bonds covering 100% of the bid amount. Evaluation criteria include compliance with specified documentation requirements, including sworn statements regarding familial relationships, Iran Economic Sanctions Act compliance, Equal Opportunity, and Criminal Background Checks. The Board reserves the right to reject any bids and select the proposal deemed most advantageous.

While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly mentioned, bidders must meet comprehensive compliance requirements including submitting notarized statements and passing background checks. The project appears to be open to qualified vendors capable of completing district-wide technological infrastructure upgrades across multiple school facilities. No incumbent vendors are identified in the documentation, and the scope suggests a complete replacement or significant upgrade of existing communication and timekeeping systems. The bid documents do not specify an exact budget range, but the requirement for Performance and Payment Bonds for proposals over $50,000 indicates a substantial project investment. Potential bidders should be prepared to demonstrate expertise in low voltage structured cabling, communication systems installation, and comprehensive technological integration across multiple educational facilities.
