911 Feasibilty Study

The City of Jefferson, Missouri is issuing a Request for Proposal (RFP) for a comprehensive 911 Facility Feasibility Study to serve the Jefferson City Police Department and Cole County Emergency Medical Services. The study will evaluate current and future facility needs for emergency communications operations and identify the most feasible facility solutions to support long-term public safety communications infrastructure. Key deliverables and objectives include examining existing facility conditions, analyzing operational and spatial requirements, assessing infrastructure and systems needs, evaluating site alternatives, conducting threat and resilience assessments, developing conceptual facility options, and providing rough order-of-magnitude project costs. Qualified proposers must demonstrate substantial experience with public safety facility studies, threat and vulnerability assessments, and mission-critical communications environments, with particular emphasis on integrating prior staffing or operational studies into facility planning efforts. The evaluation criteria allocate 30 points for relevant project experience and qualifications, 25 points for experience integrating staffing or operational studies into facility planning, 20 points for project understanding and technical approach, 10 points for project team and key personnel qualifications, 10 points for cost proposal, and 5 points for schedule and ability to meet timelines. Proposals must be submitted by 1:30 p.m. on June 4, 2026, either electronically through Bonfire or mailed to the Office of the Purchasing Agent at 320 E McCarty Street, Jefferson City, MO 65101. The anticipated project duration is approximately four months from notice to proceed, with work completion required no later than August 31, 2027.

The project is funded through Community Development Block Grant - Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) funds, which impose federal compliance requirements including nondiscrimination provisions, equal employment opportunity requirements, Section 3 compliance, and federal work authorization program compliance for services exceeding $5,000. No specific set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises are identified in the available documentation, though federal nondiscrimination and equal opportunity requirements apply. The RFP documents do not identify any incumbent vendors, current contractors, or existing infrastructure requiring integration beyond the current operations of the Jefferson City Police Department and Cole County Emergency Medical Services. The contract will include standard insurance requirements and indemnification provisions. The City reserves the right to conduct negotiations or award without negotiations, and may conduct interviews with proposers as deemed necessary. No specific budget range or award value is disclosed in the procurement documents.
