On-Call Low Voltage Network Cabling Services

The City of Lawrence, Kansas is seeking qualified vendors to provide on-call low voltage network cabling services across its municipal facilities through solicitation RFP-2600040. The goal is to establish a reliable, standardized, and future-ready network infrastructure that supports critical city operations, including communications, data management, security systems, and public services. Vendors must deliver full-service cabling solutions—including installation, testing, certification, and documentation—in full compliance with current ANSI/TIA industry standards to ensure performance, scalability, and long-term maintainability. The work will span multiple city properties, requiring flexibility and responsiveness to meet evolving technological demands and facility-specific needs. Proposals are due by August 25, 2026, and the contract will be managed by the City’s Information Technology department under Infrastructure Manager Matthew Zager and Buyer Lisa Pence. The services are intended to be accessed on an as-needed basis, allowing the City to respond quickly to upgrades, repairs, or new deployments without maintaining permanent in-house cabling teams. The City emphasizes high-quality workmanship, accurate documentation, and adherence to best practices to reduce downtime, strengthen cybersecurity through hardened physical infrastructure, and support continued innovation in public service delivery. All work must be performed within Lawrence, Kansas, and vendors are expected to demonstrate proven experience with municipal or similar government-sector cabling projects.
