- Description
- Directions Terms Survey RFQ- Details Scope of Work The Fermilab campus consists of 6,800 acres straddling Kane and DuPage counties bordered by Kirk Rd. to the West, Butterfield Rd to the South and Illinois Rte. 59 (RR tracks) to the East. Fermilab's flagship structure, Wilson Hall, houses the fixed transceiver equipment, including antenna sites, for our 13 primary radio networks. The radio hardware associated with these networks is located in diverse settings found all around the campus in many of our 300+ structures. These networks support a diverse population of scientists, engineers, technicians and support personnel as well as emergency response personnel and individuals who reside on the property while visiting from abroad and collaborating on scientific experiments. Some of the critical systems to be supported and maintained at Fermilab include (1.) a Site-Wide Emergency Warning system comprised of outdoor civil-defense sirens, (800+) stand-alone receiver units and multiple in-building emergency warning systems, all of which integrate to our own Dispatch Center. (2.) a 24x7x365 Emergency (911) Call Center which acts as the switchboard for the laboratory's (AT&T/Lucent 5E Centrex) telephone traffic and also supports dispatch of radio traffic. This system presently consists of legacy Orbacom hardware running Palladium call processing software and is targeted for upgrade later in the year. (3.) Multiple 30 ft. network antenna towers containing an assortment of antennas supporting the laboratory's various radio networks. (4.) An estimated 300 portable and mobile radios utilized by various Scientific, Maintenance and Public Safety groups in support of the laboratory's mission. (5.) Numerous individual building sound systems, some of which integrate to a fire protection alerting system. Elements to Include: Subcontractor should have 15 years of experience in radio communications industry servicing business/government grade equipment solutions. Subcontractor shall be a Chicago-based company or have a presence in the immediate Chicagoland area in order to allow for an 8-hr. maximum response time and a 2-hr. maximum emergency response time for repairs to a variety of radio hardware located on the FNAL premises. Subcontractor must offer 24-hour phone coverage for Emergency call-in and after hours response. Subcontractor must be fluent in the repair, programming and specifying of hardware solutions suitable for operation in the government frequency bands of 162-176 MHZ, 216 MHz, 406-420 MHz as well as Public Safety bands of 150-174MHz and 421-470 MHz. Must be able to support conventional analog radio networks and also be knowledgeable of digital trunked (P25) systems. Subcontractor shall employ a minimum of 4 technicians including 2-3 Certified technicians with proper training and qualifications required to repair and perform maintenance on radio systems identified below as well as specialized systems which integrate to other system sub-components. Subcontractor shall also employee 1-2 service (bench) technicians capable of servicing portable radio equipment such as pagers, 2-way portable and mobile radios. Subcontractor is not permitted to sub-contract work to another company. Subcontractor should be capable of designing custom radio solutions for a variety of environments (indoor, outdoor, office, technical/industrial, underground, aerial) which interface with existing radio systems if desired or required. Ability to design and integrate in-building emergency warning and paging/sound systems solutions and also integrate complete networks of systems in areas such as our Communications Dispatch Center and on-site Security squad vehicles are of critical importance. Cost estimate (quotations) for such jobs shall be submitted for review/approval to the Telecommunications Manager prior to commencement of work. At a minimum, Sub-contractor and their personnel must be knowledgeable and fluent with the following product lines utilized at FNAL: Orbacom, Palladium (Cassidian), Magnasync, Nice, Dictaphone, Digital Ally, Zetron Paging, Federal Signal Warning equipment, Bogen, Kenwood, Motorola, Johnson Controls, CPI as well as various VoIP and wireless technologies. Ability to adapt to technology changes also a significant factor. Sub-contractor should have on-hand (or readily available from local suppliers) sufficient inventory of spare parts commonly found in the systems/manufacturer products previously identified. Sub-contractor shall perform periodic or routine inspections or inventories of radio assets or sub-components as directed by the Telecommunications Manager. Sub-contractor shall submit work tickets for work performed to the Telecommunications Manager at completion of each repair or installation task. Sub-contractor shall participate in periodic meetings as deemed necessary by the Telecommunications Manager to review standards, evaluate progress and identify problem areas in order to determine actions to be taken by parties in order to reach resolution. Subcontractor may be required to work in Radiological areas; Training will be provided.
