1. SCOPE

The United States Air Force (USAF) requires a "turnkey" Project 25 compliant Enterprise Land Mobile Radio (ELMR) upgrade from Motorola 5 TDMA capable VHF channels to a Motorola 10 TDMA UHF capable channels at F.E. Warren AFB, Wyoming. The upgrade is required to improve channel balancing, support coverage at the new Weapons Storage Facility area, and facilitate a relocation due to Remodel of the building housing the existing system. This project will nominally include antennas, new radio equipment and the installation of a self-supporting 90’ tower, and an uninterruptable power supply (UPS).

The contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, installation, configuration management, labor, material, documentation, and services in support of this project. Services include systems engineering services in support of the design, system staging, site preparation/development, equipment installation and optimization, acceptance testing, training, and warranty.
