Federal Engineering Gains Contract Extension on Maryland Statewide Network

Monday, March 26, 2018 | Comments

The Maryland Department of Information Technology awarded Federal
Engineering a four-year contract extension to assist in the completion of
the state's statewide public-safety communications system, Maryland FiRST,
by providing full-time contract management services through May 2022.

Federal Engineering, first as L.R. Kimball, has supported the
implementation of the state’s 700 MHz Project 25 (P25) statewide radio
network, Maryland FiRST, since the beginning of the project. Three of five
phases of the project are complete, and close to 39,000 public-safety
radios are supported statewide. With the extension of the contract,
full-time contract management support will continue as the state completes
the implementation through 2022.

The consulting firm will assist with managing the state's 700 MHz
interoperable radio system contract held by Motorola Solutions and maintain
the project schedule and provide status reports to the state’s first
responders and public service personnel.

Federal Engineering will work with state personnel and the radio system
vendor to ensure compliance with the state's contract terms and conditions
and track matters related to the Motorola contract. The company will also
provide expert guidance on contract scope, financial matters and guidance
on agencies’ contract use.
