Cellular Gateway Telephone Service

The Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (SCCPSS) in Georgia is requesting proposals for cellular gateway telephone service for life safety equipment including elevators, areas of refuge, and 911 calling systems, with proposals due September 22, 2022 under RFP 23-11. The service will integrate with the district's existing Cisco VOIP system, with all 911 calls routed locally through the Cisco phone router; long-distance service is not a primary requirement, though some elevators may dial long-distance carriers.

Addendum #2 clarifies that the awarded contract includes a piggyback provision allowing other government agencies in the State of Georgia to utilize the contract for their respective entities, with costs negotiated separately for each additional agency and no guarantee of uptake from other agencies. The addendum also confirms that alternative solutions beyond the specified design will not be reviewed — vendors must propose solutions meeting the stated requirements without deviation.

Addendum #1 has also been posted; prospective bidders must review both addenda alongside the original RFP 23-11 solicitation document for complete scope, pricing structures, evaluation criteria, and contractual obligations. The solicitation documents do not specify contract value, contract term, incumbent contractor status, evaluation weighting, site visit or pre-bid meeting dates, or question-submission deadlines within the available summaries. Interested vendors should obtain the full RFP package and both addenda to confirm all submission requirements and technical specifications.
