Description
The Maryland State Highway Administration (SHA) is seeking to replace its aging two-way radios and upgrade its NICE logging recorder system. The new system will provide a fail-safe, turn-key solution that improves operational efficiency, supports training and quality assurance, and ensures continuity of critical services. The replacement of two-way radios is essential for effective field communications and interoperability with partner agencies during day-to-day operations and emergency response.
• The project includes the replacement of two-way radios that are approaching the end of their 10-year life cycle.
• The upgrade of the NICE logging recorder system will introduce redundancy and prevent service interruptions in the event of a system failure.
• The recorder system plays a vital role in capturing and managing voice communications across SHA’s Traffic Operations Centers (TOCs) and the Statewide Operations Center (SOC).
• The project requires a Master Contractor who is an authorized reseller for the Manufacturer named in the solicitation.
• The project has a Small Business Reserve Designation and a Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) Goal for FA IV.
