Mason County, Texas is seeking qualified and experienced contractors to provide communication equipment upgrades through a Request for Proposal (RFP) issued by the Concho Valley Council of Governments (CVCOG) Public Safety Program. The required equipment includes a new dispatch console system, along with all necessary accessories, delivery, and installation to result in a fully functional communications system for the County. The selected contractor must ensure compatibility with the existing Motorola radio equipment and be P25 compatible. Additionally, the contractor will be required to provide training to Mason County employees on the operation of the new dispatch console. The RFP includes a site visit/pre-proposal meeting on November 13, 2023, and a proposal due date of December 15, 2023, with the selected contractor required to complete all obligations, implementation, installation, and invoicing by August 31, 2024.

The RFP notes that the CVCOG aims to utilize small and minority businesses, women's business enterprises, and labor surplus area firms where possible. While the RFP does not provide specific details on set-asides or any incumbent vendors, interested parties are advised to review the full solicitation for these details. The RFP also indicates that the provided system and equipment must have the ability to be relocated in the future, as the Mason County Sheriff's Office may move to a different location. The contract opportunity is funded by the state and federal government, but the RFP does not provide any specific award value or budget range information.
