Musical Instrument Repair and Services

Horry County Schools is establishing a pool of pre-qualified vendors to provide comprehensive inspection, diagnosis, repair, maintenance, and restoration services for musical instruments across its elementary, middle, and high school programs. The scope of work covers woodwinds, brass, percussion, and strings, requiring vendors to provide all necessary labor, tools, and professional quality replacement parts, prioritizing Original Equipment Manufacturer components. Services are performed on an as-needed basis via estimate-based task assignments, with vendors providing secure pickup and delivery at District facilities between 8:00 am and 2:00 pm EST. The contract is structured for an initial one-year term starting January 4, 2027, with four additional one-year renewal options, potentially extending the period of performance through January 3, 2032. Proposals are evaluated based on both price and technical merit, with a ranking system from most to least advantageous. Vendors must demonstrate professional experience, provide technician qualifications, and maintain general liability insurance. Key compliance requirements include certifications regarding organizational conflicts of interest, debarment status, and safety records, including disclosure of any OSHA fines within the last three years. The contract includes a liquidated damages clause of 1,000 dollars for unauthorized contact with citizens or end users. Payments are processed via Electronic Funds Transfer or District purchase cards, requiring detailed itemized invoicing sent to the accounts payable office in Conway, South Carolina.
