Ann Arbor Public Schools is issuing an Invitation for Bid (IFB 25.0026A) for audio-visual system installation and related services at the New Dicken Elementary School Phase 2 project located at 2135 Runnymede Boulevard, Ann Arbor, Michigan. The procurement seeks qualified contractors to design, supply, and install comprehensive AV systems for the new elementary school facility as part of a rebid process. Bidders must submit sealed bids electronically through BuildingConnected by 2:00 PM on May 28, 2026, with public bid opening scheduled for approximately 2:30 PM the same day via Zoom videoconference. Bidding documents will be available by 4:00 PM on May 4, 2026, and a non-mandatory but strongly encouraged pre-bid meeting is scheduled for May 12, 2026, at 2:00 PM via Zoom. All questions must be submitted through BuildingConnected, and successful bidders must provide a 5% bid security for bids of $50,000 or higher, a completed Bid Pricing Form, Familial Disclosure Statement, Contractor Information Form, Iran Economic Sanctions Act Form, and Certification Form. The awarded contractor may be required to provide Performance and Labor and Material Payment Bonds equal to 100% of the contract price and must execute the contract and provide insurance certificates within 10 days of award notification before commencing work.

The procurement documents do not specify particular set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises or restrictions on bidder eligibility beyond standard bonding and insurance requirements. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the available documentation. Ann Arbor Public Schools reserves the right to reject any or all bids, waive bidding irregularities, and accept a bid other than the lowest submitted, indicating a best-value evaluation approach. The specific contract award value or budget range is not disclosed in the available procurement materials, though the requirement for 5% bid security on bids of $50,000 or higher suggests a potentially significant project scope. Contractors should be prepared to demonstrate experience with K-12 educational facility AV systems and the ability to meet the project timeline established by Ann Arbor Public Schools and the design team comprising DLR Group and Wightman.
