Federal Engineering Awarded Contract by Dawson County for Radio System Upgrade

Dawson County, Georgia has awarded Federal Engineering, Inc. (FE) a contract to assist with the upgrade of the County’s public safety mobile radio system including the development of specifications and support of the system procurement and implementation.

Major Greg Rowan, Project Manager for the County said: “The objective of this project is to assist Dawson County with the evaluation of options to upgrade the current aging, analog VHF, simulcast Motorola SmartNet, two channel, three-site radio system to a P25 compliant system. Federal Engineering was selected via a competitive procurement and will determine and verify the requirements to provide standards-based radio service to Dawson County, write specifications for a request for proposal (RFP) for the services and equipment, and provide project management to oversee and manage the installation, implementation and testing of the chosen system. Because the broad range of skill sets that this project will demand, we needed a consulting firm that has done this type of work many times before.”
