The Richmond County Board of Education (RCBE) seeks a vendor to design, install, and support a comprehensive Emergency Management Support System (EMSS) across all K‑12 schools and district facilities. The solution must include hardware (wearable alert badges, strobes, intercom integration), software platforms (CrisisAlert, Safety Blueprint, Enhanced Visitor Management, Reunification), and ongoing training and technical support. The contract is a three‑year, fixed‑price, turnkey engagement beginning Jan 1 2027, with the possibility of future solicitation in 2029.

• Ensure system redundancy, power‑independent operation, and multi‑sensory notifications (PA, desktop takeover, colored strobes).
• Conduct on‑site training, webinars, video tutorials, and unlimited vendor‑provided support throughout the contract term.
• Submit one sealed paper copy and one digital copy (USB) with pricing, specifications, and at least three references from comparable school districts.
• Meet insurance, E‑Verify, and background‑check requirements; comply with Georgia public‑record and procurement statutes.
