Nevada County Sheriff Communication Tower

Nevada County is proceeding with the construction of a 180-foot self-supporting communications tower adjacent to the Regional Dispatch Center in Nevada City, California, to support exclusive public safety radio communications. The tower is designed to carry multiple radio antennas and enable microwave transmission links with the California State Interoperable Public Safety Radio System’s core, requiring a clear line-of-sight path to the existing state tower atop Banner Mountain. The project accounts for future tree growth to ensure uninterrupted emergency communications, and the tower will be built on a previously developed site with minimal ground disturbance. The county selected a qualified vendor through a competitive bid process, and the project has been determined eligible for a CEQA Class 3 Categorical Exemption due to its small scale and low environmental impact. The place of performance is confirmed as 434 Kahele Ct., Nevada City, CA 95959. No federal acquisition regulation clauses, contract pricing, payment details, or formal evaluation factors are included in the available documentation, and the procurement remains in a forecast stage without a solicitation number or awarded contract value. Key contacts include Brian Foss, Planning Director, and Captain Bob Jakobs of the Nevada County Sheriff’s Office. The project does not include specifications for packaging, labeling, military standards, or federal certifications, and no delivery schedule, invoicing procedures, or contracting officer information has been formally documented.
