Automated Weather Observing Systems (AWOS) Installation Service

The Corpus Christi, Texas government authority is seeking a vendor to install an Automated Weather Observing System III. The agency requires a system that includes an optional present weather sensor and thunder strike alert components, installed complete in place on a self-supporting tower. The project covers site selection and site approval as part of the installation process. The system must have the capability to connect to a minimum of two phone lines and allow for the manual input of a voice message at the end of the computer-generated message. The voice subsystem must provide high-quality, computer-generated speech for the observation output, the local ground-air radio broadcast, and telephone dial-up users. The agency also requires a uninterruptible power supply to regulate power and provide a back-up source during outages. The tower must be painted with a six-band marking featuring alternating bands of aviation surface orange on the top band and white. Only onshore, United States organizations are eligible to bid on this opportunity. The selected vendor must perform all work onsite in Corpus Christi, Texas. The contract period will run for one year. The agency is currently looking for proposals and has not disclosed a specific budget. A pre-proposal conference is scheduled for June 16, 2026, and bidders must submit all questions no later than June 18, 2026.
