EMC sign

The Wexford-Missaukee Intermediate School District (WMISD) is seeking proposals for an Electronic Marketing Sign (EMC) to be installed at the Career Technical Center (CTC) in Cadillac, Michigan. The procurement involves a comprehensive turnkey solution for replacing the existing monument sign with a new double-sided, full-color LED display measuring approximately 16" x 94.5". Vendors must provide complete services including design, visual concepts, fabrication, materials, installation, electrical work, and software support. Proposals are due on Tuesday, September 9, 2025, at 2:00 PM, with an expected contract award by September 19, 2025, and project completion anticipated by December 15, 2025. The evaluation criteria will focus on contractor experience, qualifications, project methodology, cost effectiveness, past performance, and regulatory compliance. Contractors must demonstrate at least 5 years of relevant experience in concrete work and provide appropriate licensing and insurance documentation.

The RFP does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The electronic sign must meet detailed technical specifications, including a minimum 6mm resolution, adjustable brightness, outdoor weather rating, and wireless/hardwired connectivity. A user-friendly web-based content management system is required, and the district reserves the right to reject any or all submissions. While specific budget ranges are not detailed in the provided documentation, the comprehensive nature of the project suggests a significant investment in a high-quality electronic signage solution. Proposals will be kept confidential until the final selection is made, and vendors are expected to provide comprehensive documentation including company information, project approach, cost breakdown, references, and safety compliance. The project is specifically located within the jurisdiction of Washtenaw County and Burt CDP in Michigan.
