AI Summary
Montezuma County 911 Authority Board seeks proposals for an automated voice dispatching system to integrate with existing CAD and radio systems at Cortez Communications Center. The turnkey IP-based alerting solution must support multiple alert methods and interface options, including potential expansion to EMS stations.
The Montezuma County 911 Authority Board (MCETA) is issuing a Request for Proposals (RFP) for providing the Cortez Communications Center (ECC) with automated voice dispatching interface for use with existing radio frequencies and existing computer-aided-dispatch (CAD) and mobile applications. MCETA is seeking to purchase automated voice dispatch and toning solution to interface with the Cortez Communications Center’s current CAD system and current radio system. The current CAD system is Eforce. Cortez Communications Center currently uses Motorola MCC7500e to alert responders over a trunked 800mhz radio system and VHF paging system. The ECC requires a turnkey, Internet Protocol (IP) based alerting system that, through the Eforce CAD interface, should be able to activate the alerting via voice over radio, SMS text messages, Station Alerts and/or App without dispatcher intervention. The system should include an option to interface with existing station alerting systems used by the Cortez Fire District with possible expansion to EMS stations. All hardware and installation shall be the responsibility of the Proposer. **Solicitation Type**: RFP - Request for Proposal (Formal) **Source ID**: PU.AG.USA.2858742.C20009176 **Piggyback Contract**: No **Question Acceptance Deadline**: 05/01/2026 06:00 PM EDT **Questions are submitted online**: Yes **Bid Submission Type**: Electronic Bid Submission **Solicitation Number**: MCETA-01 **Reference Number**: 0000415820 **Pricing**: Lump sum **Bid Documents List**: | Item Name | Description | Mandatory | Limited to 1 file | |---|---|---|---| | Bid Documents | Documents defining the proposal | No | No | **Questions and Answers**: - Q1 Arrow Right Question: Dispatching Servers Does the County want physical dispatching servers, or virtual servers - images provided for County-provided servers? Answer: Answered in Addendum 1 03/23/2026 02:35 PM EDT 04/02/2026 09:55 AM EDT - Q2 Arrow Right Question: CAD Interface The CAD vendor - EForce - will need to provide its interface to the FSA System. Is the County contracting directly with EForce for this interface? Answer: Answered in Addendum 1 03/23/2026 02:36 PM EDT 04/02/2026 09:55 AM EDT - Q3 Arrow Right Question: Option to interface with existing FSAS We wish to take exception to the comment under Scope of Project request clarification - "The system should include an option to interface with existing station systems used by the Cortez Fire District . . ." No fire station alerting system on the market can interface to a competing station alerting system. Each system utilizes proprietary software / trade secrets that cannot be shared among competitors. The systems can run in parallel. Does the Fire District mean to have the selected system run in parallel with existing alerting systems?
