(Any description contained herein that may be brand specific shall be considered brand name or equal.)

1.0 Scope

The contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, tools, materials, supervision, and quality control necessary to perform the installation of four sit to stand dual-surface 24/7 dispatch consoles and four 24/7 dispatch chairs for the new Emergency Communications Center at Westover Air Reserve Base. The consoles, commercially available sizes, will consist of two curved end units holding five 24" monitor racks and two strait units holding three 24" monitor racks. Contractor will design spaces to house 16 CPU units for each monitor. Each strait workstation will have the minimum of working surface of 66” wide and 36” depth and the curved end workstations will be the minimum of 78”X78” wide to the corner and the minimum of 36” depth. The CPU storage will be separate from the minimum working surface. Each 24-hour dispatch chair will feature a fabric made to be highly durable and resilient to spills and each chair will have a minimum weight capacity of 550 pounds and the minimum seat width of 26".
