Key qualifications include being an Axon certified installer, Motorola radio installer, and Sound Off installer. Vendors must submit a comprehensive qualifications package including their scope of work, total labor pricing, current Certificate of Insurance listing the Town of Mooresville, W-9, references, and accounts payable information.
