Wi-Fi System Upgrade Services

The Village of Palatine, Illinois is seeking a vendor to provide Wi-Fi system upgrade services. The agency needs system procurement, engineering, installation, and integration to implement the municipal Wi-Fi system. The project aims to upgrade an existing network of forty-four internal and six exterior Cambium access points spread across nine buildings. The current access points are primarily single-radio units providing A/B/G/N/AC wireless connectivity. Existing wiring consists of a single CAT 5e or higher cable connected to each unit, powered by an Extreme Networks switch providing 802.3bt Type 4 PoE (90W) or Type 2 PoE+ (30W) power. All nine buildings interconnect via at least 400Mb links for data backhaul to the internet or other resources. The agency requires a proposed solution that allows for future access point expansion as needs arise. Bidders must quote the installation portion of the services separately from the other procurement, engineering, and integration costs. The agency is looking for proposal submissions to establish the budget for this project. Only onshore organizations based in the United States are eligible to bid on this opportunity. The selected vendor must perform all work onsite at the agency facilities in Palatine, Illinois. Bidders can submit their responses digitally via email or through an online portal. The agency must receive all questions regarding this procurement no later than July 10, 2026. The source document does not specify further evaluation criteria or additional key dates.
