From the meeting
At its September 15, 2026 meeting, the council approved an interlocal agreement with the City of Garland for maintenance and repair services for the city's public safety radio system and devices. Fire Chief Randy Howell said the work is currently handled by Motorola through Mobile Communications America (MCA), and the switch is expected to save about $160,000 over five years. This is a contract administration and incumbent-follow-on signal because the radio support work is already being moved.
Motorola and MCA remain important to watch for any transition, integration, or related service needs.

Questions about this project
What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
When will City of University Park issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks City of University Park's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
How can vendors engage with City of University Park before the RFP is published?
Vendors who reach out during the planning window can help shape requirements and build relationships with the decision-makers running the project. A free Civic IQ account sends you the pre-RFPs that fit what you sell, with the AI brief and the decision makers for the top matches in each digest.
