RFP-27-01 Public Safety Radio Communication Upgrade

The University is seeking a full‑scale replacement of its public‑safety land‑mobile‑radio (LMR) system for the Framingham State University Police Department. The contract will cover supply, integration, and support of a complete radio communications solution—including analog and APCO P25 equipment, repeaters, dispatch consoles, a rapid‑deployment backup kit, training, and a three‑year maintenance agreement. Vendors must demonstrate at least five years of experience with public‑safety radio systems and provide references from comparable projects. No budget ceiling is disclosed; proposals must include detailed line‑item pricing. • Deliver radio hardware (transmitters, receivers, antennas, RF gear) supporting analog, P25 conventional, Phase 1 FDMA, and 12.5 kHz narrow‑band operation. • Provide at least two fully‑engineered dispatch consoles with UPS protection, ergonomic workstations, and integration into the campus network. • Install redundant repeaters, ensure single‑mode fiber connectivity, and supply a transportable backup dispatch kit deployable within 15 minutes. • Offer comprehensive training for dispatchers and technical staff, and a three‑year maintenance/ support agreement with optional one‑year renewals.
