Hermiston School District High School Promethean TVs

The Hermiston School District 8R is seeking a contractor to provide materials and labor for wiring and installing owner-supplied Promethean TVs in 44 high school classrooms located in Hermiston, Oregon. The procurement is a public works project requiring specialized electrical and technology installation services, with a specific focus on integrating new technology into existing classroom environments. A mandatory pre-bid conference was held on April 5, 2023, and sealed bids were due by 10 a.m. Pacific Daylight Time on April 17, 2023, at the Hermiston School District Office. The project has a defined completion timeline, with substantial completion required by August 18, 2023, and final completion by September 30, 2023. Bidders were required to provide a bid bond equal to 10% of the base bid and must be registered with the Oregon Construction Contractors Board. The evaluation criteria prioritized the lowest responsible bidder, with the district reserving the right to reject any or all bids. Key deliverables include relocating existing cabling, installing new cabling, adding power receptacles, and mounting the Promethean TVs while preserving existing white/dry erase boards.

There are no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations mentioned in the procurement documents. Two bidders participated in the process: Shelco Electric, which submitted a bid of $90,300, and Upstream Electric, which submitted a no-bid response. The project involves integrating new Promethean TVs into existing classroom infrastructure, with the district specifying that new technology should be installed over current white/dry erase boards. The district will coordinate any necessary painting to ensure color matching after installation. The Notice of Intent to Award was issued to Shelco Electric, Inc. as the apparent low bidder, with a standard seven-calendar-day protest period for adversely affected bidders. Contractors are prohibited from beginning work, purchasing materials, or entering subcontracts until both the recipient and the Hermiston School District have agreed to the terms and issued a Notice to Proceed. The project must comply with Oregon's prevailing wage rate requirements, adding additional complexity to the procurement process.
