Exhibit B is a Functional Requirements Matrix for Volusia County, Florida's Ocean Center Wireless Network Upgrade (RFP #25-P-45JRD), detailing comprehensive wireless infrastructure requirements. The project involves a full turnkey wireless solution for system design, installation, testing, and integration, targeting the replacement of core fiber infrastructure and low-voltage cabling across the Ocean Center. The contract requires installing a wireless network capable of supporting 34,907 devices across facility spaces, including meeting rooms, ballrooms, arena, exhibit hall, and parking garage, with a Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) or newer standard. The entire system must be operational within 6 months of purchase order issuance, with installation work coordinated to avoid disrupting existing events, and the contract is structured for a five-year term with potential two one-year renewals.

The project emphasizes advanced wireless capabilities, including redundant Wireless LAN Controllers, a management dashboard for system monitoring, multiple user onboarding options, and potential revenue generation through tiered WiFi pricing models. The contractor must provide hands-on training for three county staff members, evaluate and potentially reuse existing infrastructure components to minimize waste, and ensure a minimum signal strength of -65 dBm across coverage areas. While no specific budget is detailed, the procurement will be evaluated using a comprehensive scoring system weighting firm qualifications (20%), total cost (15%), project approach (22.5%), solution capabilities (22.5%), and maintenance & warranty (20%). The project includes provisions for liquidated damages of $1,000 per day for implementation delays and requires compliance with local government regulations including E-Verify and non-discrimination policies.
