Towsley-Dow Auditorium Audiovisual Lifecycle Replacement

The University of Michigan is seeking a single vendor to deliver a complete, turnkey audiovisual system for the newly‑designed Dow Auditorium. The supplier must provide all hardware, labor, installation materials, testing, training, and post‑installation support, while coordinating closely with a consultant handling control‑system software and audio DSP development. Integration with existing infrastructure, aesthetic alignment (finishes, colors), collaboration with furniture vendors, and rigorous cable‑management standards are required. The contract will be awarded to the proposal that best meets technical, schedule, and cost criteria, with a firm price hold for at least one year. • Turnkey AV solution: equipment supply, installation, testing, training, and ongoing support. • Coordination with University‑appointed consultant for software integration and with furniture suppliers for physical integration. • Mandatory compliance with WCAG 2.1 AA and Section 508 accessibility standards. • Detailed cost breakdown required (hours, rates, travel, firm‑fixed assessment phase, milestone payments). • No pre‑populated line items; supplier must define full hardware list and associated services.
