About this opportunity
The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is seeking proposals for audiovisual (AV) equipment and installation services for the new Steven D. Bell Hall at the Kenan-Flagler Business School. This procurement covers a comprehensive technology integration project for a 156,000 square foot facility that includes four stories of classrooms, program offices, meeting spaces, and a 240-seat multi-purpose event facility. The successful vendor will be responsible for providing, configuring, installing, testing, and commissioning multiple integrated AV systems, including large direct view projection systems, AV-over-IP building-wide signal distribution, Dante networked audio, divide/combine classroom technologies, and Crestron AV control systems. Vendors must demonstrate prior experience with networking, AVoIP, and advanced control system programming. The mandatory pre-offer conference and site tour is scheduled for February 19, 2025, at 2:30 PM ET, with proposals due on March 20, 2025, at 3:00 PM ET. The University will evaluate proposals using a trade-off method, considering technical conformance, pricing, schedule, warranty/service, personnel qualifications, past experience, and potential risks.
The procurement does not specify explicit set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, but vendors must be registered with the North Carolina Secretary of State and maintain required insurance coverage. The existing infrastructure for AV systems, including boxes, conduit, raceways, power, cooling, and structured cabling, has been installed under a separate contract. The AV systems were designed by Newcomb & Boyd and coordinated with LS3P, the architectural firm of record, with several components being brand-specific to maintain the Kenan-Flagler Business School's academic technologies standardization. The project requires completion by August 15, 2025, with AV system installations phased to begin after contract execution. While a specific budget range is not disclosed, the University reserves the right to make partial, progressive, or multiple awards if deemed advantageous to the institution. Potential bidders should carefully review the detailed requirements in the RFP document to ensure full compliance with the project specifications.

The facility includes four (4) stories of classrooms, program offices, meeting, group study and interview spaces, a penthouse, and two (2) below grade levels of parking (not included in the gross SF). Bell Hall will house a 240-seat multi-purpose event facility with ceiling mounted sky fold dividing walls, a café and dining facility, sixteen (16) tiered and flat teaching classrooms, an interview suite with meeting rooms, and student support, study and collaboration spaces. The scope also includes renovations to the second floor of the existing McColl Building where two (2) classrooms have been removed and replaced with new lounge seating and study spaces. KFBS is looking for a capable technology integration firm that can provide, configure, install, test and commission the multiple, integrated AV systems throughout Bell Hall. These systems include, but are not limited to, large direct view projection systems, AV-over-IP (AVoIP) building-wide signal distribution, Dante networked audio, divide/combine classrooms, and Crestron AV control systems all centered around interactive education. Prior experience with networking, AVoIP and advanced control system programming is strongly preferred.
