The City of Gunnison is soliciting competitive bids for a comprehensive Recreation Center Sound System Upgrade through Request for Bids (RFB) 25-03. The project involves integrating a centralized sound system across multiple facility zones, including the lobby, climbing areas, office spaces, aquatics center, locker rooms, kitchen, conference rooms, senior room, gymnastics area, and basketball courts. The upgrade will require installing new amplification, speakers, and network components to enable seamless and independent zone audio control and streaming capabilities. Proposals are due on April 24, 2025, at 2:00:00 PM MDT, with a recently expanded proposal limit of 10 single-sided pages (8-1/2" x 11"), excluding cover page and dividers, and requiring a minimum 11-point font. Bidders must acknowledge receipt of Addendum No. 4 by inserting its number and date on the Bid Form, and demonstrate technical capability to design and implement a robust, multi-zone sound system that meets the recreation center's diverse audio requirements.

While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly mentioned in the provided documentation, the contract opportunity appears to be open to qualified sound system integration and audio technology vendors. The project is located in Colorado and specifically involves Grand County's jurisdictional area, potentially indicating local preference or consideration. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the documentation.
