Request for Information - Broward County Public Safety Tower Installation, Inspections, Repairs and Maintenance

Broward County, Florida is issuing a Request for Information (RFI) on July 21, 2026 to determine whether multiple vendors possess the expertise, equipment, and capacity to install, inspect, repair, and maintain mission-critical public safety communication infrastructure — specifically antenna and communication towers — or whether the county should designate a sole source. This is a Notice of Intent to Designate Only One Reasonable Source; the RFI is not a request for pricing or a purchase commitment.

The Office of Regional Communications and Technology (ORCAT) is conducting this market survey to assess vendor availability across the scope of tower installation, inspection, repair, and maintenance services. Eight vendors had submitted responses as of the document date. Questions are due July 17, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. EDT.

Submission requirements include a vendor questionnaire and supporting documentation, all submitted electronically through the Bonfire electronic bidding portal. No bonding is required for RFI response. The solicitation references commodity codes for electrical maintenance and repair services, communication equipment including antenna towers, and two-way radio and scanner equipment maintenance.

The RFI opened July 13, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. EDT. A subsequent formal solicitation will follow the RFI process; the outcome of this information-gathering phase will determine whether the county proceeds with open competition or pursues a sole-source designation.
