The City of Worcester issued a sealed‑bid solicitation (Bid No. 8420‑M5) for a complete set of access‑control hardware to be installed for Worcester Public Schools. The scope includes network video door stations, HID card readers, door controllers, video decoders, and related power equipment, all to be delivered FOB destination and installed within 21 days after award. Seven vendors submitted unit‑priced bids ranging from $75 k to $126 k, but the City rejected all proposals and re‑issued the solicitation under a new bid number (8436‑M5). Key points:

• Delivery: Must occur within 21 days of award; default 12 days if no delivery date is provided.
• Evaluation: Lowest net price after allowable prompt‑pay discount (≥30 days) with a 1‑year warranty.
• Status: No award was made; all bids were rejected, and the solicitation will be re‑issued.
