Scoreboard at Bonds Field ISD

The Illinois School for the Deaf (ISD) is seeking a contractor to furnish and install a new Fair-Play model# FB-8120TK scoreboard at Jim Bonds Field, replacing the existing damaged scoreboard. The procurement requires a comprehensive solution involving the mounting of a new LED display scoreboard with wireless control capabilities, utilizing current steel mounting posts. The scoreboard must meet specific technical requirements, including a 120 Volt 20Amp circuit, football-specific functions, a federal horn, built-in lightning suppression, and dimensions between 7'-9' in height and 20'-24' in width. Bidders are responsible for providing all necessary labor, materials, and equipment while ensuring no damage occurs to the adjacent running track or field during installation. The project must be completed by the end of fiscal year 2025 (06/30/2025), with electrical wiring to be handled by ISD personnel, and contractors must test the scoreboard's operational functionality. The proposal is due by April 22, 2025, with the opportunity initially posted on April 15, 2025.

While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed in the provided documentation, the standard terms and conditions suggest potential considerations for minority contractors and compliance with state procurement guidelines. The project will likely require vendors to adhere to prevailing wage requirements and potentially demonstrate capabilities in scoreboard installation and technical integration. No incumbent vendor information is provided, and the specific budget range is not disclosed in the documentation. Contractors will need to comply with the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office General Services Standard Terms and Conditions (Version 23.2), which includes provisions for record-keeping, warranties, tax compliance, and operational standards. The successful vendor will be expected to provide a 5-year limited warranty for the scoreboard and demonstrate the ability to meet all technical specifications and installation requirements outlined in the Scope of Work document.
