The Jefferson County Board in Mt Vernon, Illinois, is seeking comprehensive design, engineering, and permitting services for a new 250-foot self-supporting communications tower and associated site improvements.

The agency requires the design of mounting systems for antennas, platforms, and cable management, as well as the design of electrical service, grounding, and lightning protection systems. Additionally, the service provider must identify zoning requirements, setbacks, and land use constraints, perform environmental and historic preservation reviews, and assist in the preparation of contractor bid packages. Eligible bidders must be onshore organizations based in the United States. The agency requires the performance of the work to be conducted onsite in Mt Vernon, Illinois. Bidders must submit their proposals digitally via email or online, and the agency is currently looking for proposal pricing rather than providing a pre-determined budget. All questions regarding this opportunity must be submitted to the agency no later than June 24, 2026.
