Bell/PA System Replacement

The Molalla River School District 35 is seeking quotes for a comprehensive Bell/PA System Replacement project at Molalla High School. The procurement is a Request for Quotes (RFQ) targeting the replacement of the existing PA/Bell system, with an emphasis on utilizing existing speakers and cabling where feasible. Contractors must provide quotes that include repairs and replacements of damaged components, specifically focusing on outdated wiring, patch panels, jacks, and cable management systems. The system must be modular to accommodate potential future upgrades like classroom reader boards. Potential bidders are required to submit electronic proposals to chris.shaw@molallariv.k12.or.us, including their Lowest Corresponding Price (LCP). Walk-through appointments are available from February 15 to March 1, 2025, with quotes due by March 21, 2025, at 4:00 PM. The project timeline indicates an Intent to Award date of April 30, 2025, with the award protest period concluding on May 31, 2025.

While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are mentioned, the project does have significant procurement requirements. Contracts exceeding $50,000 will require prevailing wage rates as determined by the Labor Commissioner and published by the Bureau of Labor and Industry. Building maps are available upon request but are restricted for security purposes. The District retains the right to allow contracts to expire without implementation if appropriate funding does not become available. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are explicitly identified in the documentation. Although a specific budget range is not provided, the comprehensive nature of the system replacement suggests a substantial investment in upgrading the school's communication infrastructure. Interested contractors should carefully review the full RFQ document and ensure compliance with all technical specifications and submission requirements.
