The Dublin City (Regular School District) Board of Education opened three bids for a scoreboard installation project during a meeting that resumed after a brief technical malfunction. The CFO said the district will perform due diligence on the proposals before taking any award action.

A staff member read the proposals to the board. "For ACT installs, a grand total proposal of $494,025," the staff member said. The CFO noted that ACT listed having insurance and bonds but "do not actually have the bid bond present," meaning the bid packet was incomplete as read into the record.

The second bid was submitted by JL Demo LLC, doing business as Digital Scoreboards of Ohio. The CFO said that vendor "did submit, 10% check of the bid bond," which the CFO described as acceptable for the procurement. The staff member read JL Demo LLC’s base bid as $387,136 — the lowest base bid among the three proposals.

The third and final bid came from Watchfire. The CFO confirmed the bid bond was present, and a staff member read Watchfire’s base bid as $481,304.

No formal award or vote was recorded in the transcript. The CFO closed the bid-opening portion by saying the district will conduct due diligence and follow up with the vendors. "We'll be in do a due diligence and be in contact," the CFO said.

Next steps: the district’s procurement staff will review documentation and bid bonds, and the board did not announce a timeline or scheduled a vote in the recorded segment.
