Kearsley Community Schools - Wireless Clock System

Kearsley Community Schools, located in Flint, Michigan within Genesee County, is seeking proposals for the procurement and installation of a wireless clock system across six instructional buildings. The project requires the furnishing and installation of synchronized wireless clocks, including 252 analog classroom clocks and 29 digital hallway clocks, with five additional spare analog clocks, based on specifications comparable to the BRG Precision Wireless Clock System or equivalent. Qualified contractors must be established communications and electronics contractors with a minimum of three years of local business operation and must utilize an authorized equipment distributor. Proposals must include itemized cost-per-unit pricing for each school building section, covering equipment, installation, and shipping costs, with installation required outside school hours and project completion mandated by June 30, 2020. Contractors are responsible for all installation costs, configuration, programming, masonry work, and system finishing. Bidders must submit notarized familial relationship disclosure forms and certification of compliance with Michigan's Iran Economic Sanctions Act. The Request for Proposal was posted on December 13, 2019, with bids due by January 10, 2020, and the winning bid expected for approval at the Regular Board of Education meeting on January 13, 2020. Site walkthroughs are highly recommended and can be scheduled by contacting Paul Gaudard at 810-591-7602.

The procurement does not specify set-aside designations or restrictions on organizational types eligible to respond. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the available documentation. The system must integrate with existing school building infrastructure, with all installation work performed to render existing equipment invisible. A one-year warranty covering parts and labor and a five-year limited warranty covering parts only are required from the date of installation. Training of owner personnel in system operation, troubleshooting, and preventative maintenance must be provided within seven days of notice. No specific budget range or award value is listed in the procurement documents.
