DESCRIPTION

A government authority in Millbury, Massachusetts is seeking consulting services for a radio communications improvement project supporting police and fire department infrastructure. The selected consultant will provide project management, system design and specification development, procurement support, licensing and frequency coordination, and construction administration for the implementation of upgraded public safety radio systems.

During implementation, the consultant will attend the pre-construction meeting and act as the town's technical representative throughout construction. Responsibilities also include reviewing vendor and civil contractor submittals, conducting site visits at key milestones, reporting progress to the town, witnessing acceptance testing of installed equipment, and reviewing and recommending approval of contractor payment applications.
