2025 Vape Detector Project

Mount Pleasant Public Schools is seeking bids for the 2025 Vape Detector Project under Bid ID 3076, focusing on supplying and installing advanced environmental detection units at Mount Pleasant High School. The project requires an all-in-one sensor system capable of detecting vape, THC, smoke, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and other environmental factors, with real-time configurable alerts and gunshot/aggression detection capabilities. Bidders must provide a comprehensive solution that includes a monitoring dashboard, three-year warranty, on-site training for two system administrators, and complete documentation. Key procurement dates include bid distribution on July 22, 2025, intent to bid submissions due by July 31, 2025, and public bids due on August 11, 2025, at 10:00am. The project is scheduled for substantial completion by September 30, 2025, with project close-out by October 15, 2025. Successful contractors must be authorized vendors with manufacturer certifications and comply with industry standards. The bid includes a $2,000 allowance for owner-directed infrastructure upgrades and requires strategic sensor installation across various school locations including classrooms, cafeteria, gymnasium, and auditorium.

While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed in the documents, the procurement appears to be open to qualified technology vendors specializing in environmental monitoring systems. The project will integrate with the school's existing Ethernet network, suggesting potential requirements for technical compatibility and network infrastructure expertise. Sensor placement will be comprehensive, with multiple "VS" markers indicated on floor plan diagrams to ensure complete coverage across drop ceiling and gyp ceiling areas. The bid documents emphasize the need for precise technical specifications and comprehensive system integration. Although a specific budget range is not provided, the project's scope and technical complexity suggest a significant investment in school safety and environmental monitoring technology. Vendors will need to demonstrate advanced sensor technology capabilities, installation expertise, and the ability to provide ongoing support and training for the implemented system.
