This is an opportunity for vendors to introduce their products and services to the City.
Vendors who offer irrigation control systems, remote management platforms, or related technologies for large-scale outdoor areas should pay attention to this RFI. It allows you to showcase your expertise and solutions, potentially influencing future procurement decisions by the City of Amarillo.
