Court authorizes RFP for communications upgrade amid interagency coordination concerns

Spencer County Fiscal Court authorized advertising a request-for-proposal for a county communications upgrade on July 7 after commissioners debated how to coordinate the procurement with the city and fire district. Several members expressed concern that the city and fire district had already issued separate bid solicitations, but officials said the RFP being advanced by the county pertains primarily to the EMS portion and that representatives from all agencies will participate in bid review.
