Parkland High School Gym Lighting Replacement

Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools is seeking bids for the Parkland High School Gymnasium Lighting Replacement project, a turn-key installation procurement requiring comprehensive lighting system upgrades. The project involves replacing existing linear light fixtures with new LED technology, specifically including 48 linear fixtures, 4 RGBW units, and 1 GOBO fixture, along with a complete lighting control system featuring a DMX-compatible console and two remote control iPads. The bid was posted on June 26, 2025, with proposals due on July 22, 2025, at 2:00 PM, and a mandatory initial bid meeting scheduled for July 8, 2025, at 9:00 AM at the school site. Contractors must complete the entire installation within 60 days and are responsible for all materials, labor, permits, and inspections. The project requires contractors to demonstrate technical expertise in lighting installation, electrical work, and compliance with OSHA, state, and local regulations, with a focus on precision and quality of technical implementation.

The procurement encourages minority business enterprise (MWBE) participation, with bidders expected to achieve at least 10% MWBE involvement in the project. Contractors must provide general liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage, and submit detailed documentation including minority business participation affidavits. The project includes a comprehensive warranty structure, with one year of coverage on labor and installation, and manufacturer warranties on equipment. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the complexity of the lighting system and technical requirements suggest a substantial investment in modernizing the school's gymnasium infrastructure. Bidders must demonstrate capability in specialized lighting technologies, electrical systems integration, and compliance with educational facility renovation standards, with an emphasis on creating a sophisticated, technologically advanced lighting environment for the school's gymnasium.
