The scope covers structured cabling infrastructure comprising 281 total drops distributed across multiple systems: 68 access point drops, 61 camera drops, 88 data drops, 26 intercom drops, 18 clock drops, 7 outdoor horn drops, 9 door access control drops, and 4 Centegix system drops. The RFP specifies Cat6 Plenum cable, Siemon Z-Max jacks and faceplates, 24-port patch panels, color-coded patch cables, proper cable management using Velcro and J-hooks, and specific data closet racking configurations. Exhibit A contains drop and MDF locations that vendors must reference for scope development.

The project is divided into two phases: Phase 1 (cafeteria addition and six new classrooms with potential July 2026 start) and Phase 2 (renovation of existing office and old cafeteria, scheduled May 2027 through July 31, 2027). The contract term begins upon superintendent recommendation and concludes once the general contractor signs off on completed work.

Evaluation criteria carry the following weights: price (30 points), qualifications and scope of work (20 points), comprehensive integration (15 points), prior experience (15 points), references (10 points), and management capability (10 points). Madison County School System reserves the right to reject any proposals, accept proposals from multiple vendors, and award portions of the project as deemed in the school system's best interest. Bid evaluations will occur July 20–23, 2026, with vendor interviews possible July 21–23 and recommendation to superintendent by July 23. Prices must remain firm for one year from award date. Payment terms are Net 30 with monthly invoicing.
