Western Carolina University Police Department is requesting bids on a comprehensive radio service and maintenance agreement for its campus-wide Motorola system, with bids due August 25, 2026 at 2:00 PM ET via https://wcu.bonfirehub.com/portal/?tab=openOpportunities. The vendor must be an authorized Motorola Service Provider/Center located within 100 miles of the University with a two-hour response time—a restrictive geographic and certification requirement.

Services include non-emergency routine maintenance and repair, 24/7/365 emergency support, and bi-weekly site visits for diagnostics, upgrades, and radio pickup for servicing. Hardware replacement costs and out-of-warranty parts remain Western Carolina University's responsibility. All installations must comply with North Carolina Building Codes and OSHA requirements.
The contract has an initial one-year term with options to renew for up to two additional one-year periods at the State's discretion, with renewal notice required 60 days before each term expiration. Bid pricing must be firm-fixed for 60 days from the contract effective date and include all labor costs, shipping, delivery, handling, and administrative fees. HUB (Historically Underutilized Businesses) participation has a 10% utilization goal. Award will be made to the lowest responsive bid meeting specifications.
