What this bid is

Ontario International Airport is asking vendors for information on an Earthquake Early Warning system for the airport, tied to a California Cal OES airport grant program. The system would use the USGS ShakeAlert signal to warn passengers and staff and to trigger automated protective actions before shaking starts. Listed possibilities include PA and intercom systems, alarms, speakers, ADA-accessible message boards, two-way radios, VoIP, visible and audible alerts, and automatic control of facilities such as elevators, escalators, gates, access points and electrical systems.

This is a request for information, not a bid. Responses ask about capabilities, installation, timelines, integration, training, testing, maintenance and estimated costs. Questions are due 5 November 2026 at 5:00 PM PST. Responses are due 19 November 2026 at 3:00 PM PST, submitted electronically through the OpenGov portal, where a free vendor account is needed. The agency decides how to proceed after reviewing responses.
