The City of College Park, located in Fulton County, Georgia, is issuing Request for Proposal (RFP) No. 1002-2025 for an External Digital Display Information System for the Georgia International Convention Center (GICC). The procurement seeks to replace the existing digital display system currently managed by Gable Signs & Graphics and Bright Sign Software. The project requires installing six new external digital displays with specific technical requirements, including a 2mm pixel pitch, high refresh rate, heat tolerance, and IP65/IP67 protection rating. Evaluation criteria will allocate 35 points for project approach and management compliance, 35 points for firm qualifications and experience, and 30 points for pricing. Key deadlines include a non-mandatory pre-bid meeting on March 6, 2025, at 10:00 AM EDT and proposal submissions due by April 4, 2025, at 3:00 PM EDT. Bidders must provide a 5% bid bond and have a minimum of 5 years of relevant experience, with contractors required to be licensed to do business in Georgia.

The RFP includes potential local vendor preference for businesses located within College Park city limits with a valid business license of at least one year. Contractors must be prepared to furnish 100% performance and payment bonds upon award. The initial contract term is one year with four optional one-year renewal terms, encompassing comprehensive digital display system deployment, including UPS, power conditioners, network switches, and related infrastructure. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the project involves significant technological infrastructure replacement. The current system by Gable Signs & Graphics will be completely replaced, requiring careful integration of new digital display technologies. Successful vendors must demonstrate comprehensive capabilities in digital display systems, network infrastructure, and ongoing maintenance, with detailed requirements for fiber optics, electrical work, mounting hardware, software platforms, and warranty coverage.
