Speaker Cabling Installation

School District 27J (Adams County, Colorado) is requesting proposals for speaker cabling installation at Riverdale Ridge High School, with proposals due October 28, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. local time and questions due October 23 at 3:00 p.m.

The scope covers labor, materials, installation, termination, labeling, testing, and documentation for 18/2 shielded speaker cable replacing existing daisy-chain wiring with dedicated home-run cabling. Each of approximately 49–59 classroom speakers across building wings F, G, E, A, and D (Levels 1 and 2) will be individually wired back to the nearest designated MDF/IDF location. The existing Bogen CSD 1X2 speakers remain in place. The contractor must furnish all cable support infrastructure, fasteners, firestopping materials, labels, and incidental items. Proposals must specify the proposed 18/2 shielded speaker cable manufacturer and part number, cable support infrastructure description, installation schedule with estimated Monday installation dates, material lead times, warranty terms, and any deviations from scope.

Installation is phased by building wing and scheduled primarily on Mondays to minimize disruption to instruction. The District is exempt from sales tax; the contractor bears all applicable state and local sales taxes on purchased materials. Exclusions include connection to Bogen head-end equipment, system programming, speaker or equipment replacement, and PA system commissioning beyond cable testing and verification.

Evaluation prioritizes qualifications, scope compliance, timeline, and cost. Proposal costs must remain valid for a minimum of 90 days from the due date. The estimated contract award date is November 2, 2026. Proposals are submitted via email to Elizabeth Morales at emorales@sd27j.net; no bid opening will be held. The RFP document, speaker specification sheet, and installation manual are attached.
