Interested and capable vendors are encouraged to read the draft PWS and provide a capability statement addressing the following: Provide a summary of your technical capability and expertise to design, develop and install a wireless mesh solution to meet the PWS requirements.   Has the draft PWS and associated attachments provided sufficient detail to describe the technical requirements that encompass the required wireless mesh solution?
