Radio Telemetry Services

The City of Raleigh, North Carolina, requires radio telemetry services for its local SCADA systems. The selected contractor must maintain and service critical components including siren electronics, antenna systems, radios, lightning protection, power surge protection, power supplies, power converters, relays, fuses, twelve-volt eighteen-amp-hour batteries, and siren batteries. The agency is seeking to ensure the continuous reliability and performance of its emergency siren and telemetry infrastructure through structured preventive maintenance. Preventive maintenance visits require specific technical procedures to verify system health. Technicians must perform a reflected power reading using a wattmeter after keying the radio for at least two seconds. The agency also requires the documentation of the received signal level using the internal diagnostics of the radio. The scope of work allows for performance either onsite in Raleigh or offsite, depending on the specific task requirements. Only organizations based in the United States are eligible to bid on this opportunity. The agency is establishing a contract period that will span three years. While the agency has not disclosed a specific budget and is looking for proposals to determine cost, it has established strict procurement milestones. A mandatory pre-proposal meeting will take place on May 26, 2026, to discuss the project requirements. Bidders must submit all questions regarding the solicitation no later than June 01, 2026. The agency will evaluate proposals based on the bidder's ability to meet these technical specifications and maintenance protocols over the three-year term.
