Description
The Barrow County School District is seeking proposals for audio system upgrades in multiple schools. The proposed systems must integrate with the existing intercom and emergency alert infrastructure, be capable of being used as independent audio systems, and have priority for emergency alerts. The systems must also be designed to support multi-use environments, provide clear and intelligible audio, and have the ability to zone outputs for amplifiers. Some of the required equipment includes speakers, power amplifiers, digital audio mixers, and wireless microphone systems. The vendor must provide a detailed list of components, a narrative describing how the system will function, and a cost total for each room location. The project requires a mandatory pre-bid meeting, and all questions must be submitted by February 16, 2026. The proposal submission deadline is February 26, 2026, and the expected completion date is June 22, 2026.
• The proposed audio systems must meet specific requirements, including being UL listed for commercial spaces, having a minimum warranty period, and being compatible with existing equipment.
• The vendor must provide complete system installation, integration, and testing, as well as training and support for the new systems.
• The proposal must include a detailed breakdown of costs for each room location, as well as a total cost for all locations.
