1 Executive Summary

Diversified is pleased to provide this Project Proposal to the State of Nebraska for a new 53’ Expandable Mobile

Television Production Trailer for Nebraska Public Media (NPM). This Proposal is based on the information presented in your Solicitation and four (4) subsequent Addendums. Diversified acknowledges receipt of all 4

Addendums and has developed this Proposal based on the updates and directives provided.

The construction of a new television trailer is an exciting project for NPM and a large step forward in capturing the benefits of the latest IP television technology to produce live and recorded television content for the people of Nebraska. Live sports and cultural events are of tremendous interest to Nebraska residents and the build out of a new NPM mobile unit will enable better and more reliable coverage of these key events for many years in to the future.

Diversified has carefully studied your Solicitation’s documents and developed this initial project Proposal for your review. As noted in your Solicitation, the final truck layout and functional capabilities will be developed in close collaboration with NPM’s technical and operations staff. Importantly, we recognize this new trailer project will leverage and redeploy equipment from NPM’s existing truck that have plenty of useful life remaining. This transfer of existing, very serviceable equipment will bring a number of benefits including reducing overall project cost, eliminating equipment delivery lead time issues and shorten the training period required as operations of existing gear will not change.

This Proposal should be viewed as an initial foundation for the Detailed Design phase of the new trailer project.

We have followed the guidance and directives in your Solicitation, as well as extrapolated the natural extensions of such assertions to present a complete, initial mobile unit plan. In Appendix 1 we have provided a detailed listing of all major equipment (Bill of Materials – BoM) for each operational space of the new mobile unit, showing both new equipment and equipment expected to be transferred from the old to the new trailer. You’ll note, we have also shown replacement of some gear with new versions due to their anticipated End of Life status or providing a more modern and cost-effective solution for specific functionality. We fully anticipate working closely with the NPM design team to determine the truck’s final layout, equipment and operational capabilities. We expect there will be both minor and perhaps significant changes required to tailor the new truck to NPM’s production requirements. Based on the foundation presented in this Proposal, all changes will tracked and executed through Diversified’s Change Management process, as requested in your Solicitation.

At this time, we anticipate the entire project will span approximately 57 calendar weeks in duration, primarily driven by the period for fabrication and delivery of the new trailer itself. Gerling and Associates, the new trailer fabricator, has advised delivery of a typical double expanding side mobile unit is currently running between 240-

270 calendar days from receipt of an order and down payment along with timely progress payments as required.

Based on the anticipated duration of this project, Diversified will work with NPM to develop a project schedule that best accommodates all of the project’s individual elements including the availability of equipment for transfer from the existing to the new trailer. Completion and delivery of the new truck is unlikely to meet your Solicitation’s original July 31st 2025 target, due to Gerling’s trailer fabrication time. It may be possible to expedite the trailer’s fabrication schedule for an additional fee, but such possibilities are entirely driven by the load in the Gerling shop at the time of ordering. Diversified will require 12-14 weeks to buildout the new systems, including transfer of gear from the old truck, which will need to take place shortly after delivery of the new truck to Diversified’s shop in Santa Clara, CA.

Diversified has a great deal of experience developing project schedules around many moving elements, including redeployment of existing gear into new trailers. Addendum 4 indicated a secondary delivery target date of August, 2026. This date is certainly possible to meet, and depending on the availability of equipment from the existing truck, (based on the truck’s production commitments and schedule), it may be quite possible to advance the new truck’s completion date, well ahead of August, 2026. Diversified will work with the NPM team to develop a practical schedule for completion and delivery of the new truck that best accommodates the range of scheduling variables in this project including equipment manufacturer lead times and the existing truck’s production commitments.

We should note this project will require deposits and progress payments throughout its lifecycle, which Diversified will work with the State’s procurement team to develop a practical Payment Schedule that meets the requirements of the State, the manufacturers selected for this project and other project stakeholders as required.

Since its inception in 1993, Diversified has built nearly 100 mobile units for the country’s leading broadcasters and content producers. In fact, many of our highly regarded staff have come from the mobile unit business and have been involved in the tv truck business long before Diversified was established. It is also important to say, that Diversified’s entire business focus is designing and building media technology projects for our customers.

We are not a production or facilities company. System integration is not a side-line or even a minor element of our business. Rather, it is the primary focus of our business, the heart and soul of our efforts, which we believe delivers greater intelligence, broader industry perspective and most certainly the best manufacturer relationships and prices for our customers.

We look forward to your review and discussion of this Proposal . We’re excited about working with NPM’s technical staff and the State’s procurement team to design, build and deliver a new 53’ double expando television production trailer for Nebraska Public Media!

Should you have any questions about this Proposal, please don’t hesitate to contact Ken Clark, Diversified’s

Senior Account Executive at 818.726.5711 or kenclark@onediversified.com .

Happy reading!

4 Technical Specifications

Diversified has built this Proposal based on the technical requirements set out in your Solicitation’s original documents, “6913 OF Attachment C 1.0 IP Router Technical Requirements” and “HD Truck Equipment modified list” issued with Addendum 4. Appendix 1 of this Proposal provides a detailed listing of all equipment (Bill of

Materials (BoM)) anticipated to be required in the new mobile unit. NPM has indicated all existing field equipment

(cameras, lenses, audio and intercom gear, monitors, cables etc.) will be redeployed from the old to the new truck, hence they are not listed on the BoM. We have carefully studied NPM’s list of transfer equipment as well as the photos provided with Addendum 4 and developed the BoM in Appendix 1 of all major equipment required in the new truck.

Major components included in the transfer are the existing GV camera chains, GV production switcher, EVS XT-

VIA replay servers, Studer audio console and RTS ADAM intercom systems. The Diversified BoM shows the quantities of equipment expected to be transferred from the existing truck in the column labelled “CFE Old Qty” and highlighted with orange backgrounds. New equipment expected to be provided by NPM is shown in the column labelled “CFE New Qty” and highlighted with light purple backgrounds. And finally, quantities for all NEW equipment supplied by Diversified is shown in the column labelled “New Purchase Qty.”

In summary, the Diversified total truck BoM shown in Appendix 1 has been assembled based on:

1. List of gear to re-deployed from your current truck

2. New IP Router Technical Requirements document (EVS MediaInfra Strada)

3. Upgrades to EVS replay systems

4. New equipment Diversified believes will be required for a complete mobile unit

5. Modest guidance from the 1A and 1B conceptual new trailer layouts in addendum 4

6. NPM’s existing truck photos

4.1 Gerling 53” Double Expanding Side Mobile Unit

Diversified has worked extensively with Gerling and Associates on new mobile units for our customers for more than 20 years, and we are pleased to include in this Proposal, a new 53’ double expando trailer for NPM. The technical equipment and systems included in this Proposal are based on the high level 1A conceptual truck layout provided by NPM in Addendum 4, (shown on the next page). Gerling’s trailer pricing to Diversified is based on a “typical” 53’single expando truck plus the additional manual street side, expanding monitor wall and other options.

During the Detailed Desing phase of this exciting project, Diversified will work with NPM staff and Gerling to finalize the operational layout of the new NPM truck. The following two pages show the NPM 1A and 1B conceptual trailer layouts plus an example floorplan of a typical 53’ single expando trailer from Gerling. Note there are differences in these layouts. The new NPM layout and operational facilities (power, HVAC, consoles, etc) will be finalized during the Detailed Design phase of the project, (which may change the final price of the trailer).

We’ve added a new Avaya digital telephone system with provision for 16 inbound POTS lines, 20 digital internal extensions, 20 digital phones, 12 analog extensions (hybrids, ringdowns, intercom interfaces etc.), plus 12 outside digital extensions.

We also noted the transfer of the Meraki Wifi system from your existing truck into the new mobile unit.

4.2 New IP Routing Platform

Diversified is extremely pleased to recommend and include the EVS MediaInfra Strada routing platform for the new mobile unit’s IP routing system. The EVS MediaInfra Strada has been specifically designed for hybrid IP/SDI video systems, which precisely aligns to NPM’s new truck requirements!

The core of MediaInfra is EVS’ renown Cerebrum Broadcast Control and Orchestration system, flanked by programmable and highly flexible EVS Neuron real-time media processors. Neurons are especially ideal for dynamic production system infrastructures as they can be programmed and re-programmed in the field to provide a wide range of functions as may be required over time. For the initial roll out of the new NPM truck, EVS Neurons will be used for SDI<->2110 Encap/Decap conversion, audio channel shuffling in the 2110 domain, multiviewer processing and up/down/cross conversion with inherent video processing, frame sync, and color correction functionality as well as HDR/SDR management, etc. Although not initially deployed for this project, Neurons can also provide a wide range of video compression tools, bi-directional IP firewall and failover switch protection, along with a growing list of new applications emerging from EVS. Incorporating Neuron media processors in the new truck’s systems, means that as technical and production requirements change over the new truck’s lifetime, the Neurons can be reprogrammed for new and different and new functions as may be required. A key example is their initial use for SDI<->2110 Encap/Decap functionality. As time moves forward, more and more equipment will offer native 2110 interfaces, reducing the requirement of SDI / IP conversions. Neurons programmed with this Bridge encap/decap functionality at the new truck’s initial roll out, can be reprogrammed in the future for other operational purposes as needs change. This is one of the key reasons Diversified has recommended and based this Proposal’s new IP Routing Platform on the EVS MediaInfra Strada platform.

Additionally, EVS has proven to be a very reliable and faithful manufacturer. Diversified has deployed many EVS

Cerebrum based systems, with good success and happy customers due to EVS’ outstanding product and customer support. One of Diversified recent and most complex projects with EVS Cerebrum was the design and buildout of the large, Jewel flypack system for Fox Sports initially used for the 2023 FIFA tournament. The Jewel flypack is in many ways, similar to a new mobile unit. It is a large, complex routing platform like the new NPM truck, that is turned on and off routinely, demonstrating this critical element’s inherent stability and reliability required for mobile unit use. Trucks are hard on equipment, having to endure lots of power cycles, temperature swings and often less than ideal handling. The EVS Cerebrum and Neuron platform has performed extremely well in the Fox Jewel flypack system and many others, which is why we have recommended its inclusion for the new NPM mobile unit project.

4.2.2 2110 IP Core Switching

This Proposal includes an Arista IP switching core, designed using the Spine/Leaf architecture specified in your

Solicitation and deployed as a SMPTE ST 2022-7 Seamless Protection Switching network. The red and blue networks will be built using one Arista CD-7280CRA3A-72F spine switch providing 72 SFP 100g ports and one

Arista DCS-7010TX-48CF providing 48 1G RJ45 ports. We have carefully studied the most cost-effective way to deploy these four switches and will leverage twinax QSFP cables (instead of fiber SFPs) to reduce project cost and increase reliability across the new truck’s wide range of environmental temperatures.

4.3 Additional Core System Components in Eng’g Racks

4.3.1 Master Sync Gens & Distribution

✓ Upgrades to 2 existing Tek SPG800a master reference generators to provide PTP timing with GPS reference. NOTE: We have included Option 1 at the bottom of the project BoM that replaces the upgrades to the existing SPG8000As with brand new SPG9000 master reference generators. The SPG9000 are

Tek’s latest master sync gens, which were explicitly designed for SMPTE 2110 IP media networks. Given the relatively modest increase in cost for the new generators, Diversified recommends NPM strongly consider choosing the new SPG9000s shown in Option 1.

We have also included an estimate of new baseband reference signal distribution DAs using the Ross

OpenGear platform. Although it is certainly possible to re-use the existing Evertz 500 series DAs from your existing truck,vwe believe migrating to the Ross OpenGear platform provides a much wider modular gear ecosystem with a broad range of distribution and processing modules, all with the additional benefit of much smaller rack space requirements.

4.3.2 Video & Fiber Patching

✓ 20 New Canare 12G, normalled, terminating 1ru midsize coax patchbays. (Estimate)

✓ Commscope fiber patching

4.3.3 Production Gear

✓ 1 EXISTING Grass Valley Karrera / K-Frame Production Switcher (64x16 SDI) o Diversified understands NPM may choose to purchase a new GV, 2110 production switcher. The

IP core and switch ports have been sized to accommodate a future IP production switcher.

✓ 1 EXISTING Chyron Hyper X Character Generator 2ch (SDI)

✓ 1 EXISTING Vizrt OneBox Character Generator 2ch (SDI)

4.5 Recording & Replay

Diversified will closely with the NPM operations and engineering team to optimize and finalize the design and layout of this production space. For the purposes of this Proposal, we have included 5 EVS operating positions plus 1 “replay producer” position all outfitted with a similar compliment of gear. During the Detailed Design phase of this project, this room’s layout and equipment compliment will be determined, with adjustment made as needed.

We have additionally gathered discussed upgrading your existing 3 XT-VIA (of 2 different vintages per EVS) to native 2110 I/O. EVS has advised that the XT must go back to the EVS shop in New Jersey for upgrade and have also recommended the addition of an X-HUB to consolidate the IP I/O from the XTs to 100G interfaces.

4.8 Option 1 – Upgrade to Tek SPG9000 Sync Gens

We have included an Option for replacing your existing SPG8000A master sync generators with 2 new Tek

SPG9000s, which were developed specifically for IP media networks, such as will be installed in the new NPM mobile unit. PTP upgrades (with GPS reference) for the SPG8000As are provided as requested, however, the modest increase in cost for 2 new SPG9000s in comparison we believe presents good value for NPM and wanted to be sure you were aware of this possible optional choice.

4.9 Diversified Professional Services

This Proposal has been assembled as the foundation for significant collaboration with NPM’s engineering and operations teams, to develop and finalize the new mobile unit’s layout, technical equipment and functional capabilities. Every truck Diversified builds has unique features and functions that are tailored to our customer’s specific requirements. Although there are many similarities amongst modern television mobile units, there are also a similar number of unique facilities that deliver the production tools each production team requires.

The new NPM mobile unit is especially unique as you intend to re-deploy a great deal of equipment from your existing truck. That certainly helps drive down project cost, when valuable equipment can continue to provide serviceable life.

We believe the professional services provided in this Proposal are quite suitable for most new mobile unit builds.

If changes are needed however, we will work with the NPM team to ensure they are cost effectively implemented.

4.9.1 Services Included

✓ Consultation on the trailer’s operational layout with design and guidance provided by Gerling for weight and balance recommendations.

✓ Design services for all television productions systems within the new truck

✓ Shop cable fabrication and equipment staging

✓ New equipment procurement and supply

✓ Decommissioning of equipment from your existing truck that will be re-deployed in the new mobile unit

✓ Installation of all new and redeployed equipment in the new mobile unit

✓ Development of 2110 network IP schema

✓ Programming of all new equipment

✓ Commissioning of the new mobile unit’s newly assembled systems

Confidential | One Diversified, LLC Page | 24

✓ Thorough testing of the new production systems

✓ EVS training on the new routing platform operations

✓ Complete set of As-Built document for the new production systems

✓ Onsite support for the truck’s first two events

4.10 Scope Exclusions

✓ Removal of any equipment from the existing truck that will not be redeployed on the new mobile unit

✓ Removal of any abandon cabling or any other decommissioning in the existing truck

✓ Permits of any kind

4.11 Deliverables

Such replacements may be required before installation can be finalized and project turnover can occur.

Neither Diversified, nor its subcontractors, will assume accountability or absorb costs associated with delays that are the result of failing Client Furnished Equipment (CFE) or its replacement.

3. Diversified is not a high voltage contractor and as such cannot undertake high voltage installation work in the fulfillment of this project.

4. Appropriate Client representatives will be available during the course of the project and any scheduled training sessions.

5 Experience & Qualifications

Diversified is very proud of our highly successful 31-year history of serving the television production, post production and broadcast industries for many of its most demanding projects. Our customers include every large scale broadcast and cable network, and major streaming services in the US, along with many of the most prominent production companies creating exciting and innovative content for viewers around the world.

One of Diversified’s specialties is the design and build out of new, leading edge mobile production facilities…and we’ve been delivering those trucks for more than 2 decades! We’ve built trucks focused on a wide variety of events including nearly all professional sports, live news, cultural events, music recording and demo facilities for corporate industry. In fact, the two largest mobile production companies in the US (NEP and Game Creek) have also contracted Diversified to build mobile units for their fleets. We enjoy a very strong reputation within the mobile production community with demand for trucks is continuing to grow each year.

Diversified’s mobile facility experience is also not limited to trucks alone! This past year, Fox Sports contracted

Diversified to design and build their Jewel Flypack System, a large scale, modular production system able to be easily loaded on to aircraft and flown to any sporting event around the world. It’s initial event was the 2023 FIFA

World Cup and we’re pleased to tell you, it was a tremendous success!

Diversified’s Santa Clara shop is our home for building new mobile units, stocked with all of the right tools and facilities required for modern mobile unit outfitting. More importantly, it’s home base for our team members with the deepest experience for building trucks in system integration business. And we’re excited to build NPM’s new truck in our Santa Clara shop.

We believe it’s fair to say that Diversified has built the largest number of IP production systems in the world.

Beginning in 2016, Diversified started building IP based media production systems with both early, manufacturer proprietary IP technology and early SMPTE 2022-6 systems. SDI. Since that time, much has changed. The broadcast industry has adopted SMPTE ST-2110 as the new standard for building scalable, IP based media systems and Diversified has actively been involved, from its initial testing and plugfests to wide scale system deployments for our customers. The following page shows a listing of Diversified’s recent 2110 projects, from

CNN’s largest production facility at Hudson Yards in New York to Sofi Stadium and the NFL Network in Los

Angles to the Fox Sports Jewel Flypack….and demand continues to accelerate!
