Replacement, Commissioning, and Testing of the Primary Bi-directional Amplifier (BDA) Serving Chanticleer Hall, Building 3000 -*SOLE SOURCE* RFP

Description: University requires replacement, commissioning, and testing of the primary Bi-Directional Amplifier (BDA) serving Chanticleer Hall, Building 3000. The existing BDA is a component of the University's Emergency Responder Communication Enhancement System (ERCES) and Public Safety Distributed Antenna System (DAS) infrastructure, which supports reliable in-building radio communications for public safety personnel and emergency responders. The University's requirement is not simply for the acquisition of a replacement BDA. The requirement is for a replacement system that integrates with the University's existing passive infrastructure and broader public safety radio communications architecture while maintaining operational continuity and system interoperability. The replacement must include Class A amplifiers, a battery backup system capable of providing not less than twelve hours of backup operation, and a fiber-optic expansion unit necessary to support continued operation within the existing environment. Reliable emergency responder communications are critical to campus safety and emergency response functions.
