The work also encompasses installing new finishes and rewiring the existing data infrastructure within the simulated environment. The project aims to enhance educational capabilities and modernize the campus facilities, with construction scheduled to commence by December 1, 2025, and substantial completion targeted for August 3, 2026, followed by final completion by August 21, 2026. Vendors interested in bidding must participate in a non-mandatory pre-bid conference scheduled for October 3, 2025, at the Flanagan Campus. Bids are due by October 23, 2025, and must be submitted electronically through Ocean State Procures™. The procurement process requires bidders to provide a bid surety bond or certified check equal to 5% of their proposal, with the successful contractor also required to furnish 100% payment and performance bonds before contract award. The project is valued between $500,000 and $1,500,000, with the contract term set for one year, including an option for renewal. The initiative is overseen by Rhode Island’s state procurement agency, emphasizing compliance with procurement regulations, confidentiality, and timely delivery of the upgraded simulation facilities to support the college’s educational objectives.
