City Requests Proposals on Wi-Fi System

The City of Grove's efforts to provide residents with a city-wide wi-fi broadband internet access system is continuing, with this week's advertising for Request for Proposals from qualified firms which can provide a turnkey system by the end of the year.

Bids or proposals will be opened at City Hall at 2 p.m. Monday, May 15.

The network must provide basic wireless internet access throughout the city.
Companies which submit proposals are to provide a 30-minute presentation on their proposals to the Grove City Council and Grove Industrial Development Authority at a joint meeting, with contracts awarded by June 6. The companies will then have six months to complete the project, according to Debbie Mavity, Assistant City Manager.
