DSU BAC Scoreboard

Dickinson State University is seeking sealed bids for a comprehensive scoreboard replacement project at the Biesiot Activities Center located in Dickinson, North Dakota. The procurement involves removing the existing 12'x21' scoreboard and installing a new video scoreboard measuring approximately 16'x30', with specific requirements for reusing the primary structure and modifying existing infrastructure. Key deliverables include replacing or retaining the existing ID panel and sound system, installing new play clocks, control systems, software, and licensing, and providing necessary wiring for data and power. The solicitation requires vendors to conduct a preliminary site walkthrough to assess electrical and data infrastructure, manage equipment storage, removal, disposal, and complete installation services. Critical bid submission deadlines include a proposal due date of June 24, 2025, with vendors responsible for comprehensive installation tasks such as equipment acceptance, lifting, unloading, inspection, and testing. Optional project elements include potential upgrades like a new audio system, live score bug equipment, radio equipment installation, and third-party stats integration with platforms like Genius/NCAA Live Stats or Presto Sports.

The solicitation does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The document does not provide clear information about incumbent vendors or precise budget constraints for the project. While the specific award value is not detailed, the comprehensive nature of the scoreboard replacement suggests a significant capital investment requiring technical expertise in electronic display systems and sports facility infrastructure. The university will provide limited storage assistance, and vendors must manage building penetrations, resealing existing areas, and negotiating any additional infrastructure modification requirements. Potential bidders will need specialized technical capabilities in scoreboard systems, electrical infrastructure, data networking, and installation services specific to athletic facility technology upgrades. The project appears to require vendors with demonstrated experience in sports facility technology integration, with a focus on comprehensive, turnkey solution delivery for complex electronic display system replacements.
