Description

MULTI-LINE DISPATCH CONSOLE General: The contractor shall furnish and install a fully-functional multi-line remote control dispatch console system for use by the INYO NATIONAL FOREST in a two-way mobile radio system?including, but not limited to, all equipment, material, parts, labor, and site-specific software programming. The dispatch console system shall be comprised of multiple operator positions sharing a common electronics package and shall provide all the necessary functions to operate conventional FM two-way radio base or repeater stations and provide control and/or communications of paging systems, alarms, devices and other ancillary equipment. Installation location: Inyo National Forest Headquarters 351 Pacu Lane, Bishop CA 93514 Delivery date: 60 days after receipt of award. Mandatory Requirements 1. Equipment shall be new and currently in production. 2. The system described shall be wired for four Communications Control Operator Positions. 3. The Communications Control Center Console shall utilize touch screen color monitor and mouse control technology for the user interface. 4. The system shall be wired to control seventeen base station radios, but be equipped for thirty-two radios. 5. The system shall be wired to control six analog loop-start phone lines, but be equipped for twelve lines. 6. The only parts required to expand from the equipped capacity to the wired capacity shall be plug in cards, wiring and operator positions. 7. Each position will require a dual monitor card and two 18.1? LCD Touch screens--one for radio operation and one for telephone. 8. The system shall employ a 256 port non-blocking Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) digital audio switch. 9. The system shall be fully user programmable as regards to system, Operator Position, base station, and user interface configuration. All aspects of the configuration shall be available to local customer service personnel. All configuration settings shall be available through any operator position without the need for PROM replacement or the use of an external PC (personal computer). This includes both screen programming features and radio interface settings. Separate programming from a central electronics unit will not be acceptable. The system shall be capable of accepting configuration changes made from an off-site personal computer. 10. In order to take advantage of future requirements the software shall be written in a Microsoft 32-bit Windows NT application. The Windows NT environment will allow us to perform multi-tasking with other programs that are suitable to run with a real time system such as this dispatch communications program. 11. The system must be able to employ digital audio from the microphone to the control lines in order to insure maximum resistance to analog interference and the highest quality audio. The interface between the console positions and the common electronics shall be T1 requiring only two pairs of wires. It shall be possible to use a dedicated cable, in-house category 5 LAN cable, or existing telephone wiring to connect an operator position to the common electronics. The operator positions shall be DC isolated from the common electronics to eliminate ground loops. 12. The contractor shall provide free operator position and system card software updates for the life of the system. These updates shall include but not be limited to all software bug fixes, configuration enhancement, and features added to the software. The updates shall also include all software features added to meet newer customer requirements. These new features shall be capable of being activated free of charge with a simple configuration change at Inyo National Forest's discretion. The latest version of system software shall be available for download 24 hours a day via an Internet World Wide Web site free of charge. These updates shall be a complete version including all the configuration software along with software to simulate the operation of the user interface per configuration changes. All of the before mentioned software shall also be available on floppy disk or CD-ROM free of charge. The software updates shall not include updates to the Windows NT? operating system. 13. The contractor shall be able to furnish replacement parts and service for the console system over the life of the system. 14. The contractor shall make available technical system on a phone-in basis during normal business hours.
