B--Mass Notification and Wireless Communications Feasibility Study

The U.S. Department of the Interior, through its Lower Colorado Regional Office in Boulder City, Nevada, has awarded a contract for a Mass Notification and Wireless Communications Feasibility Study at Hoover Dam. The study aims to evaluate the adequacy and effectiveness of current mass notification systems and wireless communication infrastructure within the dam’s operational area, identifying gaps and proposing viable solutions to enhance emergency response capabilities. The contract, identified by solicitation number 140R3026F0043 and classified under NAICS code 541618 for other scientific and technical consulting services, is focused on technical analysis and planning without specified set-aside provisions. The primary point of contact for the contract is Virginia Toledo, reachable via phone and email, and the work is expected to support critical safety and communication needs at one of the nation’s most vital infrastructure sites. Although the exact performance location details are not specified beyond the general reference to Hoover Dam, the scope implies field assessments, stakeholder coordination, and the development of a comprehensive report outlining recommended technologies, system integrations, and implementation pathways. This study is foundational for future investments in public safety communications at the dam and surrounding federal facilities.
