Greeley Central High School Acoustic Upgrades

Weld County School District Six (District 6) is soliciting competitive bids for the Greeley Central High School Acoustic Upgrades project located at 1515 14th Avenue in Greeley, Colorado. The procurement opportunity involves providing and installing acoustic panels, baffles, and related materials across multiple school spaces including the auditorium, gymnasium, band room, ensemble room, historic library, and dance studio. Contractors must procure and install custom-colored acoustic materials from manufacturers like Kinetics Noise Control, with specific requirements for sound absorption, fire ratings, and mounting techniques using Z-clips and suspended baffle systems. The bid is scheduled to open on May 17, 2024, at 9:00 a.m., with a project start date of June 1, 2024, and completion date of July 26, 2025. Qualified contractors must demonstrate expertise in acoustic system installations, provide comprehensive insurance coverage including $1,000,000 in general liability, and be prepared to coordinate closely with the District 6 Building Maintenance Manager throughout the project.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly outlined in the contract documents. The project does not indicate any incumbent vendors or require integration with existing technology beyond the current acoustic upgrade scope. While a precise budget is not specified, the comprehensive nature of the project manual and the multiple spaces being upgraded suggest a significant investment in acoustic improvements. Contractors will be subject to performance bonds, monthly invoicing with 90% payment based on completed work, and a 5% retainage held until final project acceptance. Liquidated damages of $1,000 per calendar day will be assessed for late completion, underscoring the district's commitment to timely project execution. The acoustic upgrades will utilize panels with noise reduction coefficients ranging from 0.70 to 0.85, ensuring high-quality sound management across the targeted school spaces.
