Fallon County receives TAB Electronics bids for 9‑1‑1 base station and repeater upgrades
Summary
Commissioners reviewed two sole‑source bids from TAB Electronics to upgrade the county 9‑1‑1 base station ($124,240) and radio repeater system ($143,080). Desiree will verify bid documents for completeness and the items will be placed on the next consent agenda for formal approval.
Fallon County commissioners were told the county received two bids from TAB Electronics to update critical public‑safety communications systems.
A county staff member said the repeater upgrade bid totals $143,080 and includes a 10% bid check of $14,308, while the 9‑1‑1 base station upgrade was quoted at $124,240 with a 10% bid check of $12,424. Commissioners asked staff to verify the bid packets and return the complete procurement for formal approval at the next regular meeting.
The bids were described as the only responsive offers on file; Desiree was asked to confirm the packets’ administrative completeness and ensure there are no irregularities before the items are placed on the consent agenda. No formal award was made at the time of the meeting.
If commissioners approve the contracts, the upgrades would affect the county’s dispatcher‑to‑radio interoperability and the redundancy of county‑wide radio coverage, according to staff. Commissioners did not set a construction timeline at the meeting; staff indicated delivery and installation details will be part of the formal award packet.
