Bowling Green Municipal Utilities Awards Federal Engineering Consulting Contract For Radio Communications System
FAIRFAX, VIRGINIA, February 2, 2011 — Bowling Green Municipal Utilities (BGMU), located in Bowling Green, Kentucky, has awarded Federal Engineering, Inc. (FE) a contract to provide consulting services for the design and implementation of a new radio communications system. FE’s services will touch upon every aspect of the design and acquisition process to ensure a system that is cost effective, meets the Utility’s needs, and offers flexibility service.
“BGMU provides electric, water and wastewater services for the city of Bowling Green, Kentucky and limited wastewater services for the surrounding Warren County. The Utility also offers high speed data services for all businesses within range of its dark fiber loop,” according to Mrs. Kathleen Duvall, Technical Services Supervisor for BGMU. Mrs. Duvall continued: “The current radio system has been in place for 17 years and has become outdated. Replacement parts and support have become difficult and soon they will be impossible to obtain. BGMU intends to completely replace the existing system with a new system which meets the current and future needs of the Utility.”
Mr. Ronald F. Bosco, FE’s President described the project: “Federal Engineering radio consultants will support BGMU through all phases including:
- Assessing existing communications and BGMU’s current and future needs
