ITB-Instructional Technology Center (ITC) Window Covering Project 20211004

Western Oregon University (WOU) has issued an Invitation to Bid (ITB) for the Instructional Technology Center (ITC) Window Covering Project, seeking licensed contractors to furnish and install roller shade window coverings in a 3-story building housing the Computer Science Division offices, classrooms, and computer labs. The procurement is specifically for window coverings, with bids due by 3:00 PM on October 14, 2021, and the project completion timeline set between December 13-31, 2021. Contractors must comply with prevailing wage rates dated July 1, 2020, and the contract will be awarded on an "all or none" basis to the bidder offering the best value to WOU. Required qualifications include being a licensed contractor capable of executing the window covering installation, providing comprehensive pricing, and meeting all specified project requirements. An optional site visit is available, and bidders must acknowledge any issued addenda. Evaluation criteria will likely focus on pricing, contractor qualifications, and overall project approach.

The solicitation encourages bids from Minority, Women, and Emerging Small Businesses, suggesting potential set-aside or preference designations for disadvantaged enterprises. Successful bidders must provide appropriate insurance and bonding, and will be required to execute a contract, performance bond, and payment bond within 20 calendar days of the award. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated in the provided documentation, the project involves window coverings for a multi-story technology center, indicating a potentially significant infrastructure investment. No incumbent vendors or existing contractors are mentioned, and no specific integration requirements with existing technology are outlined. The procurement appears to be a standalone project focused on improving the physical infrastructure of the Instructional Technology Center through comprehensive window covering installation.
