THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
The county plans to relocate its public safety radio tower to a 150' x 150' section of unused land on the Old Maces Lane School property to replace coverage lost when the Health Department site is sold. The State will issue an RFP for tower construction once the Board of Education returns or leases the parcel to the County and the site is confirmed. The County expects $25,000–$75,000 in local costs for fiber connectivity, switch hardware, site security cameras, and paging antenna work, creating a near-term need for telecom, security, and low-voltage vendors.
State handles main tower construction under its own RFP; County covers connectivity, cameras, and paging hardware. Site will significantly improve coverage for Cambridge-area schools and public safety agencies.

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.

Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks Dorchester County Public Schools's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
