Doña Ana County Awards Federal Engineering Contract for Radio Consulting Services

Doña Ana County, New Mexico has awarded Federal Engineering, Inc. (FE) a contract to assess the County’s current public safety mobile radio system and recommend improvements to meet the needs of Doña Ana’s first responders.

Mr. Bob Bunting, Project Manager for the County said: “The County currently operates a VHF simulcast radio system where there are gaps in coverage and problems with interference. To aid in the development of a long-term public safety communications plan, Doña Ana seeks to have a needs assessment completed with analysis of two specific alternatives: remaining on VHF or joining the Statewide Digital Trunked Radio (DTRS) operated by New Mexico Department of Information Technology (DoIT). We had detailed conversations with Federal Engineering and selected the firm because of their experience, reputation, and subject matter expertise.”
