The Commission invites consultants with documented expertise and experience to submit proposals for a Next Generation 9-1-1 (NG9-1-1) planning consulting services contract, not to exceed $120,000 (USD). The Commission seeks an independent evaluation of the suitability of potential service offerings for application to the state level Emergency Services Internet Protocol network. Accordingly, the Commission will not consider any proposals from entities that currently offer NG9-1-1 services or equipment other than consulting services. Based on the Commissions evaluation of proposals, the Commission will enter into negotiations with one or more qualified Respondents.
