As is customary in bids such as <br />these, the specifications called for evaluation to include cost of <br />equipment and cost of maintenance over a five -year period. <br />The evaluation for this bid was accomplished through Ms. Rebecca <br />Yarbrough, Centrolina COG; Mr. Reed Whitten, RF Projects, Inc.; and <br />County staff. It was determined that while Radio Communications of <br />Cary was responsive in most respects, there was one exception that <br />would affect the functioning of the equipment in an unacceptable <br />manner. <br />
