Replacement of Radios on School Buses

The Thomas County School System in Georgia is seeking bids for the replacement of radios on their school buses and support vehicles, as well as the provision of handheld radios. The existing radio system is a Motorola "Mototrbo Capacity Plus" system, and the new radios must be fully compatible with this system. The bid requirements include the provision of 95 bus/truck radios, 4 control stations, and 28 portable radios, as well as the reprogramming of 137 existing portable radios. The radios must be delivered, installed, and programmed during the school system's summer break, which begins on May 21, 2024, and ends on July 22, 2024. Bid responses must be submitted by 2:00 PM on Wednesday, February 28, 2024, and the bid will be awarded to the vendor deemed to be in the best interest of the school district.

The contract opportunity is open to all qualified vendors, and there are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The Thomas County Board of Education reserves the right to award the bid in whole or in part, and to waive any technicalities. No substitutions are allowed, and the bid award will be based on unit pricing and total package pricing for the required radio equipment and services. The current incumbent vendor or contractor is not specified, and the available budget range is not provided in the RFB.
