DSU requests proposals + for installation of video + display board

Dickinson State University is seeking proposals for the installation of a video display scoreboard at the Biesiot Activities Center, located at 398 State Ave in Dickinson, North Dakota. The procurement, identified by RFQ number 110.3-20-2025, is specifically for installation services, with the Daktronics video display being provided by the university. The display is a sophisticated LED system measuring 17.07' x 30.19', featuring 13x23 modules with RGB color capabilities and an active display area of 514.943 square feet. Vendors must submit their proposals by August 14, 2025, at 1:00 PM Mountain Time, with questions due by August 11, 2025, at 1:00 PM. The required project completion date is May 30, 2025, and vendors unable to meet this timeline must contact the procurement officer, Trent Myran. Award criteria will consider the lowest responsible vendor, evaluating conformity with specifications, delivery terms, quality, and serviceability. Proposals can be submitted via mail, email to trent.myran@dickinsonstate.edu, or through the SPO Online system.

The procurement does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises, though North Dakota preference laws will be applied to out-of-state vendors per N.D.C.C. 44-08-01. The university is tax-exempt (exemption #E-2001) and will make payments within 45 calendar days of receiving a correct invoice, with the option to use a government credit card without passing processing fees to the vendor. The project involves complex technical specifications, including structural mounting requirements for the display, which must support wind pressures up to 72 PSF and include specific ventilation systems. While no incumbent vendor is mentioned, the project requires careful integration with existing infrastructure at the Biesiot Activities Center, including electrical systems, support structures, and potential networking components. Though a specific budget range is not provided, the technical complexity and size of the display suggest a significant investment in the scoreboard installation project.
