The purpose of the RFP was to establish a partnership with a qualified contractor to lease space for wireless towers.  Firms were asked to provide their knowledge/experience, implementation plan, references, and cost. The initial term for the award was from June 6, 2006 to June 5, 2011, with five renewal terms of five years each, and all terms and conditions of the Master Agreement remaining in full force and effect.  This will be the first five-year extension.

Prior to soliciting a new contract, the Contract Administration team must first give consideration to the specifications and supporting data of the expiring contract.
