Statewide Communications Interoperability Plan (SCIP) Update
The Department is soliciting offers for a Contractor to provide services for the update of the Ohio Statewide Communications Interoperability Plan (SCIP). The States intends to have the Contractor create (in conjunction with Ohio EMA) and conduct a survey of the communications assets found at all levels of response and develop a report on the status of interoperable communications throughout the state of Ohio. The Contractor will enter the survey results on radio systems into the Federal Communications Asset Survey Management (CASM) tool and update the SCIP. The results of the survey will be used to replace the current survey information in the SCIP. The study and planning work will include the entire first responder provider population consisting of but not limited to Hospitals, Law Enforcement, Fire, Emergency Medical Services, Emergency Management Agencies, and Military. This includes all levels of government (State, Local, and Federal) assets. The Contractor will address the communications interoperability between these entities from a system connectivity level and viewpoint. The objectives of this effort are listed below. The specific tasks associated with accomplishing these objectives are delineated under the Scope of Work, which describe the different tasks, scope and description of work.
