Radio System Materials and Supplies

The County of Boone is soliciting bids for a one‑year “Term and Supply” contract to provide new, factory‑fresh radio system materials and supplies—including RF cables, antennas, waveguides, tower hardware, grounding accessories, and related RF components—for its 9‑1‑1 dispatch center and land‑mobile radio network. The contract may be extended up to four additional one‑year periods at the County’s discretion.

Pricing must be firm for the contract year, include all freight (FOB destination), and comply with FCC Part 22/47/48/90 approvals. The County will evaluate bids on overall value, not price alone, and may award to one or multiple suppliers. • Scope: Supply of radio‑system hardware (cables, antennas, waveguides, tower components, grounding, filters, power supplies, test equipment, etc.) on an as‑needed basis. • Quantity: No minimum volume; purchases made as required. • Contract term: 1 Jan 2027 – 31 Dec 2027, with up to four optional one‑year renewals. • Delivery: FOB Destination to Boone County Joint Communications, 2145 E.
