The Town of Glastonbury, located in Hartford County, Connecticut, is issuing a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for a Public Safety Radio System Contractor, solicitation number RPGL-2025-11. The procurement seeks comprehensive service agreement proposals for the town's current public radio system infrastructure, specifically focusing on the Glastonbury Police Department's subscriber equipment, including all mobile and portable radios. The primary objectives include maintaining and supporting the existing radio system infrastructure with comprehensive services that ensure operational reliability and effectiveness. Vendors must submit their proposals electronically through the Glastonbury Bonfire Hub portal (https://glastonburyct.bonfirehub.com/) by October 16, 2024, at 11:00 AM EDT, with the solicitation period officially opening on September 16, 2024, at 8:30 AM EDT. The RFQ requires vendors to provide detailed service proposals that cover both infrastructure maintenance and subscriber equipment support, with delivery terms specified as Free On Board Destination and payment terms to be vendor-specified. Interested parties can obtain complete RFQ documentation and related information from the Town's website at www.glastonburyct.gov/rfp, and late submissions will not be considered under any circumstances.

The RFQ does not specify any specific set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond, indicating the opportunity is open to all qualified vendors. No incumbent vendor information is disclosed in the documentation, and there are no explicit details about existing infrastructure or required technology integration. The solicitation package includes the main RFQ document, two addenda, and Zoom instructions for potential virtual meetings, suggesting some flexibility in vendor communication.
