The City of Keene, New Hampshire is seeking proposals for the upgrade of their Municipal Radio Master Box System. The project involves furnishing and installing new radio alarm boxes, programming, commissioning, and warranting for one year from the date of successful acceptance test. The City requires the vendor to submit a proposal that includes how they will achieve the installation and cutover of ten City-owned master fire alarm boxes to municipal radio alarm boxes within 180 days from contract execution.
