OPHS Training Center Audio Visual Equipment and Installation

Oak Park Schools is seeking bids for a comprehensive Audio/Video Systems and Equipment project (Bid Package 25-T01) at the Oak Park High School Training Center located in Oak Park, Michigan. The procurement involves procuring, installing, integrating, and configuring new audio/video systems across multiple facility areas, including field house sound systems, projector and screen equipment, and weight room sound systems. Sealed bid proposals will be accepted until 2:00 PM EST on Tuesday, June 10, 2025, at the Oak Park Schools' Administration Building, with a projected project completion by early December 2025. Bidders are required to submit several mandatory documents, including a sworn statement disclosing familial relationships, an Asbestos Notification Form, an Iran Sanctions Affidavit, and an Affidavit for Criminal Background Checks. Each bid proposal must include a bid security (certified check, cashier's check, or surety bond) for 5% of the total bid price, and bidders must provide a detailed Bill of Materials and project schedule. The work is structured as a turnkey solution with a single lump sum bid, and bidders must submit comprehensive documentation including manufacturer specifications, technical data, and safety data sheets.

The contract requires a 5-year warranty on work and equipment, with potential deductive alternates for warranty years. While no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on bidder types are explicitly mentioned, the procurement appears open to qualified technology and audio-visual installation contractors. An allowance of $5,000 is included in the base bid, which will be returned if unused and can only be applied with written authorization from the Owner and Technology Designer. Bidders must confirm their intent to bid via email to James Nye by May 30, 2025, and proposal documents are available by contacting Ken Wosik at Metro Technology Services IT, Inc.
