The Medford School District 549c (District) is seeking written proposals from qualified providers of school and office furniture for our new middle school, currently under construction. Oakdale Middle School is located at 815 S. Oakdale Ave., in Medford Oregon. The new school is scheduled for occupancy in August of 2023. This proposal may be awarded to multiple vendors depending on the item that they supply. Office furniture may be awarded independently from classroom furniture, contingent on quality and value. This is a qualified bid process, while overall costs (that are flexible) are a major factor, consultants who can provide the most experience and scope of services requested will receive higher marks.
