Jerry Hughes Athletic Center LED Display Equipment and Installation

The University of Central Missouri is soliciting bids for the supply and installation of LED display equipment at the Jerry Hughes Athletic Center, specifically for a center-hung display and a scorers table display, along with associated perimeter signage, audio, and control systems. All bids must be submitted electronically through the UCM Ebid system by August 22, 2025, at 5:00 PM. A mandatory pre-bid meeting was scheduled for August 13, 2025, as it served as the sole opportunity for vendors to view the work site. The project follows a firm-fixed price contract model awarded to the lowest responsive bidder, requiring a 5% bid bond and 100% performance and payment bonds from a surety rated B+ or higher by A.M. Best. Performance is tied to strict installation milestones, with the scorers table display scheduled for completion between September 30 and October 5, 2025, and the center-hung display between October 20 and October 30, 2025. Contractors must comply with Missouri Prevailing Wage Law, E-Verify work authorization, and specific insurance mandates including Workers Compensation and Public Liability. Additionally, projects exceeding $100,000 require MBE/WBE participation, and those over $75,000 must adhere to prevailing wage reporting. Technical requirements include a three-year warranty for all equipment, front-access service design for LED components, and mandatory 10-hour OSHA training for on-site employees.
