2. This acquisition is restricted to the following source:

Company: OMT Technologies Company Address: 1-1717 Dublin Ave Winnipeg, MB R3H 0H2 Canada Company Point of Contact and Phone Number: Brenda Barteaux 204-975-0790

3. The OMT Radio Automation Service and Support is estimated to cost $17,500 annually and is required to be delivered by 12 December 2015.

The service must be compatible in all aspects with existing systems presently installed. The current system is responsible for the 24x7 Production, Archive, Recording and On Air Automation of the AFN Radio Services and this service must be capable of providing expert, manufacturer level, and support for the existing system.
