Department of Safety & Security - Supply & Installation of Public Address System Equipment

The Board of Education of St. Mary's County, on behalf of St. Mary's County Public Schools (SMCPS), is seeking experienced and qualified contractors to supply and install Telecor eSeries public address system equipment to replace intercom/public address systems at multiple SMCPS school and office locations. The successful bidder(s) will be responsible for removing all existing intercom system equipment and replacing it with the new Telecor eSeries or a substantially equivalent system that meets or exceeds the specified requirements. Bids are due by April 7, 2021 at 1:00 pm local time, and the contract will be awarded for one year with the option for four additional one-year terms. Bidders must provide fixed pricing for materials and labor, as well as information on their experience, licenses, insurance, and claims history. SMCPS reserves the right to award the bid in total or in part, and to make multiple awards.

Minority Business Enterprises are encouraged to respond to this solicitation, although there is no specific Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) percentage requirement. The contract does not have an incumbent vendor or current contractor, and the successful bidder(s) will be responsible for integrating the new public address system equipment with existing infrastructure. The budget for this procurement is not specified, but the bid responses should include a percentage discount off the manufacturer's list price for the Telecor eSeries equipment or equivalent, as well as separate pricing for data and audio cabling materials.
