Aruba Access Point Replacement for the Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services

The Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services (OhioMHAS) is seeking proposals for the replacement of existing Aruba Access Point wireless devices at three of its Regional Psychiatric Hospitals: Northwest Ohio Psychiatric Hospital (NOPH), Heartland Behavioral Hospital (HBH), and Summit Behavioral Hospital (SBH). The scope of work includes performing site surveys, installing owner-furnished access points, providing detailed work schedules, coordinating installation activities with hospital operations, and replacing ceiling tiles as necessary. The RFP specifies the number of access points required at each location, totaling 62 at NOPH, 137 at HBH, and 122 at SBH. Proposals must be submitted by January 10, 2023, and the contract term is for State Fiscal Year 2023, from October 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023, with possible renewal. Contractors must have a minimum of 7 years of IT installation and service experience and meet ethical and conflict of interest requirements. Proposals will be evaluated based on the vendor's ability to perform site surveys, provide detailed installation schedules, coordinate work with hospital operations, and include costs for the access point replacements and ceiling tile work.

The contract opportunity is open to all qualified vendors, and there are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The RFP does not mention any incumbent vendors or current contractors, and there is no information provided about any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The RFP does not specify a budget range, but the work must be funded within the state fiscal year 2023 budget.
