“People Helping People”

Tri-Valley invites prospective and qualified proposers to submit a response to this RFP for Push-to-Talk over Cellular (PTToC) services and devices for transit communication systems, replacing the current low-band two-way radio communication system. Tri-Valley seeks a multi-year contract (6 year) with one year being installation and deployment and years 2 through 6 being PTToC communication services. Additional years of the contract will be contingent on the vendor providing a service acceptable to Tri-Valley. Periodic reviews will occur to allow the vendor to make corrections per Tri-Valley’s input. A 60 – day prior to extension review will be held with Tri-Valley and the vendor to determine if an extension of time will occur. PTToC communications services are required between dispatch and the fleet of buses and vans, as well as and between fleet vehicles. Tri-Valley Heartland Express provides curb to curb demand response public transportation in northwest Minnesota. The service areas cover the Minnesota counties of Polk, Red Lake, Norman, Marshall, Kittson, Pennington, Mahnomen, and Clearwater.
