MCCCD Land for Digital Billboard Use

The Maricopa County Community College District (MCCCD) has issued a Request for Information (RFI) 3590-9 seeking detailed proposals from digital billboard companies interested in utilizing district-owned land parcels for advertising installations. The RFI targets potential partners who can provide comprehensive services including site evaluation, revenue-sharing models, and strategic billboard development across approximately 434 acres of land located in Phoenix, Scottsdale, Mesa, and Chandler. Respondents must submit comprehensive proposals through the MCCCD Procurement Portal hosted by Bonfire, with a strict submission deadline of 3:00 P.M. Arizona Local Time on November 24, 2025. The district requires interested companies to provide a thorough company overview, detailed capabilities description, proposed cost and profit-sharing structures, and site recommendations focusing on three optimal locations from a provided list of 19 land parcels. Evaluation criteria will likely include the company's methodology for assessing billboard feasibility, potential revenue generation, and strategic alignment with MCCCD's objectives of maximizing land asset utilization.

The RFI explicitly states that this is an information-gathering exercise and not a formal solicitation, with no reimbursement provided for response preparation. There are no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on organizational types mentioned in the documents. The MCCCD, which operates ten colleges and serves over 140,000 students annually, is exploring potential revenue generation strategies through strategic land use. While no specific budget ranges or award values are explicitly stated, the document suggests the primary goal is to identify mutually beneficial partnerships for digital billboard advertising on district-owned properties. Potential respondents must register for an account on the Procurement Portal to access complete RFI documentation, and companies experiencing technical difficulties can request assistance by emailing Support@GoBonfire.com. The RFI emphasizes that submission timeliness is the sole responsibility of bidders, with the MCCCD Procurement Portal's time-stamp serving as the official submission record.
