Golf Simulator Replacement Screen, Flooring & Hitting Mat

The Iowa State University of Science and Technology (ISU) is seeking a qualified supplier to undertake a project involving the removal and reinstallation of a golf simulator hitting screen and surrounding structure within its Golf Performance Center. The scope includes replacing the existing hitting screen, which must measure at least 16 feet wide and 10 feet high, along with the supporting framework. The project also entails removing and replacing the flooring, hitting pad, and turf associated with the hitting area, with the hitting mat specified to be no less than 8 by 4 feet. Suppliers are encouraged to propose either off-the-shelf or custom-designed solutions and to provide detailed descriptions of their proposed structures and any surrounding enhancements. Additionally, the university invites proposals for potential improvements to the overall player experience within the approximately 24’ 9” by 19’ 7” golf simulator room, including free-standing equipment or light renovations that minimally impact the existing infrastructure. The university emphasizes that any proposed upgrades are optional and not guaranteed to be accepted. The procurement process is formalized through a solicitation (RFQ-1001184), with responses due by March 7, 2025. The contract size is estimated between $20,000 and $50,000, and all responses must be submitted electronically via ISUBid. The project requires adherence to Iowa State University’s general terms and conditions, including insurance requirements for construction-related work, and compliance with procurement instructions that specify proposal submission procedures, evaluation criteria, and preferences for Iowa-based products when applicable. The university’s designated point of contact for questions is Dustin Mohr, reachable via email or phone. The project’s successful completion depends on detailed planning, clear communication, and adherence to all specified requirements, with the university reserving the right to accept or reject any proposals or bid alternates based on their suitability and alignment with project goals.
