5. Reasons for Authority Cited:

a. Wireless can’t be used within Bassett Army Hospital because it interferes with the Emergency Helicopter Pad Signals and the fire alarm system. Wireless TV was previously used at Bassett in Feb 2010 and the contract had to be cancelled because of the reasons stated above.

There have been no changes or improvements to the infrastructure at Bassett to reduce/minimize the interference of wireless TV frequencies with emergency transport landing pad. The current contract was then sole sourced to GCI. GCI is the only Cable provider in the state of Alaska and owns all existing infrastructure on Ft. Wainwright, AK. All cable lines on Ft. Wainwright were installed and are under the ownership of GCI. If there were any other cable providers, all of the lines and infrastructure would have to be replaced or purchase from GCI at an exorbitant price.
