Contractors must provide all labor, materials, and equipment necessary to execute the replacement, including new speakers, wiring, and audio equipment. The project is scheduled for completion during the 2024 summer break, with substantial completion required by August 20, 2024, and final completion by August 27, 2024. A non-mandatory pre-bid conference was held on January 24, 2024, and bids are due on February 29, 2024, at 2:00 PM Pacific Time. Bidders must submit a 5% bid bond and demonstrate the ability to meet technical specifications, including having a BICSI certified RCDD to oversee the work.

The Beaverton School District has established a goal of 15% participation for Disadvantaged, Minority, Women, Emerging Small Business, and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Businesses (DMWESBSDVBE). The contract will be awarded to the responsible bidder submitting the lowest responsive bid, with IN LINE Commercial Construction, Inc. indicated as the intended awardee. Contractors must be properly licensed to do business in Oregon and comply with prevailing wage requirements as determined by the Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries. The project requires performance, payment, and retention bonds, with a 5% retainage to be held during the contract.

The successful contractor must provide engineered and stamped details for permitting, coordinate with the District, and ensure full compatibility with existing campus infrastructure.
