The RFP-JCI-260000002378-2 seeks a turnkey installation of a Public Address and Bell System across four school buildings in Jackson, Michigan, including the Lyle Torrant Center, Kit Young Center, Jackson County ISD Transportation, and Scott House. The scope encompasses full cabling infrastructure using plenum-rated Cat6a cable with strict color-coding standards—gray for speakers, blue for data, and orange for HDMI—along with mandatory typed labeling in the format of `<closet>-<Patch>-<Patch Port>` at both ends of every cable, using color-matched keystones on patch panels. Cables must be tested and certified using a Level III tester with OTDR/TDR results for backbone links, and all work must comply with ANSI/TIA-568-D, TIA-569-E, TIA-606-B, TIA-607-B, NEC, OSHA 29 CFR, and BICSI standards. The vendor must provide new equipment unless explicitly approved for reuse, ensure all personnel undergo law enforcement background checks, and strictly adhere to site conduct rules prohibiting smoking, alcohol, and inappropriate language. Training for at least ten district employees and comprehensive documentation including schematics, IP maps, wire paths, and a user guide are required deliverables. Final payment is contingent upon full acceptance of all installations and documentation. The proposal must be submitted via email by 11:59 a.m. on July 30, 2026, to jcisdrfp@jcisd.org, and must include mandatory attachments such as the Certification of Compliance with the Iran Economic Sanctions Act, a Bid Bond or 10% check, Conflict of Interest Affidavit, Familiar Disclosure Affidavit, Contractor Agreement Form, Election to Bid Form, and professional references. Bid alternates are permitted for UPS runtime options of 15 or 30 minutes, and the proposal validity period must extend at least 180 business days after award. The vendor assumes full responsibility for equipment until official acceptance at the job site, with no FOB or shipping terms specified beyond retention of risk until then. No formal contracting officer, COR, COTR, or payment office details are provided; inquiries should be directed to Rick Vess or Brad Hess. Pricing details are not available in the solicitation, and no contract value, CLIN structure, or award methodology such as LPTA is stated.
