The solution must include repeaters, system controllers, equipment racks, combiners, multicouplers, transmission lines, antennas, mounting hardware, grounding and surge protection, required permits, software, licenses, backhaul, cybersecurity measures, and related infrastructure. The scope also includes coverage modeling and design, spectrum-licensing support, system migration, acceptance testing, training, documentation, recommended spare parts, warranty, maintenance, and ongoing technical support. The initial contract is five years, with two possible two-year extensions, for a maximum term of nine years. Proponents must complete the scope-of-work, technical-requirements, and financial-proposal questionnaires; provide supplier, compliance, insurance, WorkSafeBC, and other applicable information; and submit the proposal through the Supplier Portal.
