Description
This RFP (20‑0707) solicited proposals for a district‑wide Public Safety Radio Signal “BDA” system for the Clarke County School District in Georgia. The procurement was conducted as a competitive bid, with eight qualified vendors submitting compliance documentation and pricing. The evaluation worksheet dated July 29 2020 shows each vendor’s score and total bid amount, ranging from roughly $138 k to $279 k. Although the scoring indicates Mobile Communications America as the top‑scoring bidder, the document does not disclose the final award decision or contract terms. The project is funded through the district’s SPLOST program and requires extensive compliance paperwork (insurance, debarment, drug‑free immigration addenda, etc.). Key points for a prospective contractor:
• Competitive, open‑market solicitation for a public‑safety two‑way radio communications system covering all district schools.
• Detailed vendor compliance checklist and line‑item pricing for individual schools (where provided).
• Evaluation based on three reviewer scores; highest total score was 228 (Mobile Communications America).
• Funding via Special Purpose Local‑Option Sales Tax (SPLOST), indicating a capital‑improvement budget.
• No award, start, or end dates are included in the excerpt, so contract duration and renewal terms are unknown.
