Name and email of the individual to contact for information regarding the solicitation: Loretta Schmidt Loretta.Schmidt@va.gov Oklahoma City VA Medical Center Oklahoma City, OK 73104 SCOPE OF WORK AND GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS FOR BDA (BI-DIRECTIONAL AMPLIFIER) FOR OKLAHOMA CITY VA POLICE RADIO SYSTEM MARCH 26, 2019 Background The Oklahoma City VA Police have acquired 800MHz dual band radios to conduct Police and Emergency Operations in Oklahoma City, OK, Ardmore, OK, and Stillwater, OK. Due to the configuration of the building VA police officers are not able to access or utilize the State of Oklahoma Wireless Information System (OKWINS) from certain areas of the hospital and therefore they are not able to talk directly with officer outside the main campus at 921 NE 13th ST. Project Scope The Oklahoma City VA Medical Center needs to purchase a BDA to be installed at the Oklahoma City VA Health Care System, Building #1 located at 921 NE 13th ST, Oklahoma City, OK. The system needs to be engineered to ensure all interior and exterior areas of Building #1 are covered by the BDA to insure all officers can reliably communicate via the 800 MHz frequency from anywhere within the interior and exterior of Building #1. A complete engineering study will be conducted by the vendor/contractor to ensure all areas in need of the BDA are located. All identified areas will be included in the final engineering design for implementation. Specifications BDA design should be based on a duplexed path configuration with sharp out of band attenuation allowing improved isolation between the receiving and transmitting paths. Standard applications should allow 5 MHZ separation between uplink and downlink frequencies with a 2 MHZ uplink and downlink passbands. The BDA requires specific mounting hardware and racks, universal power supply backup, surge protection, and lightning protection. The BDA must be able to function within 800 MHz range. All engineering, installation and components will comply with all Department of Veteran Affairs, other federal, state, and local rules, regulations, and codes regarding the installation and operation of the BDA. If it is determined the BDA does not comply the contractor/vendor will remedy the issue with no additional cost. The vendor/contractor will have a technician available to be contacted and/or respond on a 24/7 basis in the event the BDA becomes inoperable or does not function in the proper manner. The technician must be able to respond in person to the Oklahoma City VA Health Care System with 45 minutes an initial troubleshooting call does remedy the problem(s).. The Oklahoma City VA Health Care System will provide rooftop access and appropriate space to install and house all hardware affiliated with operation of the BDA. A complete engineering study will be conducted by the vendor/contractor to ensure all areas in need of the BDA are located. All identified areas will be included in the final design for implementation. BDA Testing The contractor will perform operational checks on system assets after work completion to ensure proper functionality and radio coverage on all talk groups. These tests will be witnessed personnel familiar with proper system operations. If a system asset is found to be faulty, the contractor will troubleshoot and repair/replace asset.
