Public Address System Installation

The Bentley Community School District (BCSD) in Genesee County, Michigan has issued an Invitation to Bid (ITB) for the installation and upgrade of the public address system at Bentley Middle School and Bentley High School. The ITB requests bids for a new public address system that includes district-wide paging capability, integration with existing infrastructure and systems, two-way communication, bell scheduling, emergency alert capabilities, and phone system interfacing. Bidders must provide an itemized list of all hardware, cabling costs, installation labor, and warranty information. The contract will be awarded to the successful bidder, though the district is not required to select the lowest bid. Bids are due by April 3, 2024 at 2:00 PM, and there is an optional site visit on March 20, 2024 for potential vendors.

The ITB does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. Bidders must provide affidavits disclosing any familial relationships with the school district and compliance with the Iran Economic Sanctions Act. The work performed by the selected vendor will be warranted for 12 months against material and workmanship defects. The ITB does not provide any information about incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor does it specify a possible award value or budget range.
