Outdoor Digital Signage at Saint Paul College

Minnesota State is requesting proposals for the design, installation, and setup of exterior digital signage and wayfinding solutions at Saint Paul College, with proposals due July 23, 2026 at 12:00 a.m. CDT and a question-and-answer session scheduled for July 13, 2026 at 1:00 p.m.

The scope includes design and construction of a monument-style electronic message center sign on the East Lawn, installation of at least four static exterior wayfinding signs to replace existing signage, schematic design documentation for zoning variance and permitting compliance, development of digital templates using messaging system software, and coordination with the Marketing and Communications department for initial content development. Respondents must provide detailed specifications for hardware and software (including whether cloud-based, on-premises, or hybrid), pricing models with disclosure of recurring fees, and a timeline for design and construction services.

The anticipated contract value is $200,000 over a six-month term effective July 13, 2026 or upon the date of the last recognized signature, whichever is later. Evaluation will be weighted as follows: Cost/Value (40 percent), Work Plan (20 percent), Qualifications of Respondent and Personnel (20 percent), Adherence to Minnesota State Terms and Conditions (10 percent), and Completeness, Thoroughness and Detail of Response (10 percent). Minnesota State reserves the right to conduct vendor interviews on June 26, 2026.

All submissions must be made exclusively through Minnesota State's e-procurement system; hard copy and email submissions are not accepted. Respondents must submit a notarized Affidavit of Non-Collusion and an Affirmative Action declaration form. If Minnesota State and the successful respondent cannot negotiate and sign a contract by August 1, 2026, Minnesota State reserves the right to seek an alternative respondent.
