Macomb Community College in Warren, Michigan has issued Request for Proposal (RFP) No. 6452 for a comprehensive Audio-Visual (AV) Upgrade project targeting mediated classrooms. The procurement seeks a qualified vendor to remove existing equipment and install new AV systems across 78 classrooms, with an additional 21 rooms requiring equipment removal. Specific equipment requirements include Epson projectors, ScreenBeam wireless display receivers, Extron controllers and amplifiers, and Freedom One eLift Lecterns. Professional installation services must encompass equipment delivery, mounting, wiring, connection setup, and existing equipment removal. Bidders are required to provide itemized pricing for 24 different line items and submit three references from similar higher education clients, along with proof of manufacturer certification. The proposal submission deadline is Tuesday, September 30, 2025, at 3:00 PM, with electronic submissions to be sent to bids@macomb.edu and idrisg@macomb.edu. The project has a targeted completion date of June 30, 2026, with installations to be conducted in stages, limited to 5-10 installations per period.

The RFP does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The college has strict logistical constraints, allowing only 5 equipment sets to be stored on campus at any given time, which requires precise inventory management and coordination from the selected vendor. The bidder must maintain a weekly updated spreadsheet with detailed device information and manage delivery and installation with significant logistical precision. While a specific budget range is not disclosed in the documentation, the project involves comprehensive AV system upgrades across multiple classrooms, suggesting a potentially substantial investment. The vendor will need to demonstrate technical expertise, manufacturer certifications, and the capability to manage a complex, phased installation process across an entire community college campus. Integration will require careful coordination with existing infrastructure and minimal disruption to ongoing educational activities.
