1. Introduction

The City of Galax (hereinafter referred to as “the City”) is seeking proposals from qualified firms for the supply, installation, and maintenance of public safety mesh networking radio equipment.

This project shall provide a reliable, scalable, and secure mesh networking radio solution that will facilitate critical communications for public safety personnel, including first responders, emergency medical services (EMS), law enforcement, and other public safety officials. Sealed proposals will be received until February 27, 2025 at 2:00 PM.

Submittal of a proposal indicates acceptance of the conditions contained in the RFP. All proposals are public records to the extent required by the Virginia Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). The City of Galax reserves the right to accept or reject any or all proposals, or modify scope of work or services to be provided.

2. Project Overview

The City aims to implement a public safety mesh networking radio system capable of supporting real-time communications, including GPS and data across a wide area. This system will support GPS and data communications and must be capable of functioning in a wide range of environments, including urban, rural, and remote areas, ensuring operational continuity during emergencies. The system should be designed to meet the stringent reliability, security, and operational standards required for critical public safety communications. This will include the supply and installation of radio equipment that will form a resilient, self-healing, and scalable mesh network. Specifications and requirements for the proposed equipment can be found in Section 5 and Section 6 of the RFP document.

● Deployment of a Public Safety Mesh Networking System: Provision of radio equipment that enables real-time GPS and data communication in a mesh network configuration.

● Coverage and Scalability: The system must be scalable, providing seamless coverage over urban, rural, and remote locations and capable of growing with increasing demand.

● Security: The system must include end-to-end encryption, secure authentication, and compliance with cybersecurity standards to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of communications.

● Reliability and Availability: The system should operate under high-stress conditions, including network congestion, extreme weather, and emergency scenarios.

● Interoperability: The system must integrate with existing public safety communication systems and networks, providing seamless interoperability with different agencies, departments, and jurisdictions.

● Training and Support: The offeror will be responsible for providing training and technical support to ensure the effective use and long-term sustainability of the system.

4. Offeror Requirements

Offerors must meet the following qualifications:

● Proven experience in delivering mesh networking solutions for critical infrastructure or public safety.

● Capability to provide a comprehensive solution that includes hardware, software, installation, training, and ongoing maintenance.

● Ability to integrate new technology as it becomes available, with long-term support options.

● Mesh Radio Nodes: High-performance, ruggedized radio nodes capable of forming a self-healing, scalable, and secure mesh network.

● IP68 Rating: The radio nodes must meet the IP68 standard for dust and water resistance, ensuring they can operate in challenging outdoor environments, including extreme weather conditions (e.g., rain, snow, and flooding).

● MIL-STD-810 Compliance: The radio equipment must meet MIL-STD-810 specifications for environmental testing, ensuring resilience against extreme temperatures, vibrations, humidity, and physical shock. This includes conditions such as exposure to high and low temperatures, humidity, solar radiation, and airborne dust.

● Frequency Band: The equipment must support the frequency bands approved for public safety communications (e.g., VHF, UHF, 700/800 MHz, or others as required by local regulations).

● Power Supply: Support for both AC and DC power input and the ability to operate in environments with inconsistent power sources. The radios must also have power-saving features to extend battery life.

● Portability: Equipment should be designed for portability and ease of deployment in the field, with ruggedized enclosures and ease of transport in emergency situations.

● Communication Modes: Support for real-time GPS and data communications with high availability and low latency.

● Low Latency: The system should support low-latency communication, particularly for

GPS and data transmissions, to enable timely decision-making in emergency situations.

5.2 Network Infrastructure

● Routing and Switching: Scalable routers and switches that enable efficient communication, optimal traffic management, and seamless interoperability across mesh nodes.

● Mesh Network Topology: The system must support both fixed and mobile mesh nodes, with automatic network formation and self-healing capabilities. The network must be able to adapt to changes in topology, such as node failure or relocation, ensuring continuity of service.

● Capacity and Scalability: The system should be able to scale easily, from a few nodes to several hundred or more, without compromising performance or reliability. It must be able to accommodate future growth and expansion.
