2022-LS-305 - RFP Two-Way Radio System

SFU has a need for standardized radio systems at all 3 campuses, including upgrade from analog to digital, providing better coverage (currently there are “dead” spots), for Safety & Security, IT Services, Facilities, and other support groups.

1. 1. 1. (I) The project involves the design, implementation and support of an upgraded radio system that provides SFU with:
         • Reliable indoor and outdoor radio coverage at the Burnaby, Surrey, and Vancouver campuses;
         • Wide-area coverage enabling radio communications between campuses, and to a central dispatch facility located at the Burnaby campus;
         • The ability to implement modern LMR radio functionality such as talkgroups, encryption, emergency call, and location services;
         • A radio system which is reliable and supportable over the next 10 to 15 years;
         • A system which can seamlessly support alternate communication technologies such as cellular PTT or radio over Wi-Fi to facilitate hybrid solutions providing enhanced coverage both within and outside the current system coverage area.
      2. (I) Simon Fraser University’s budget for the project is $450,000 excluding subscriber equipment.
   2. Computer Aided Dispatch Interfaces
   3. Scope
      1. (M) The System shall include all required Equipment, Facilities and Services to support:
         1. 3 UHF radio repeater subsystems, supporting at least 3 working channels at the Burnaby campus.
         2. 2 UHF radio repeater subsystems, supporting at least 2 working channels at the Surrey campus.
         3. 4 UHF radio repeater subsystems, supporting at least 2 working channels at the Vancouver campus.
         4. Outdoor antenna subsystems, including coaxial cable, surge suppression and grounding for the Burnaby repeater subsystems.
         5. Indoor antenna subsystems, including coaxial cable, surge suppression and grounding for the Surrey and Vancouver repeater subsystems.
         6. 3 dispatch consoles located at the Burnaby campus.
         7. Trunking and inter-site roaming subsystems to interconnect all of the above repeater sites and dispatch consoles.
         8. [[100] high tier subscriber portable radios.
         1. [[100] medium tier subscriber portable radios.
         10. [[200]] low tier subscriber portable radios.
         11. [[0]] high tier subscriber mobile radios.
         50. [[0]] medium tier subscriber mobile radios.
         1000. [[5]] low tier subscriber mobile radios.
         14. [[5]] consolettes.
         15. Project management services.
         16. System design services.
         17. System build services.
         18. 5 years of system support services.
         19. Training services.
      2. (RC) The System should include all required Equipment, Facilities and services to support:
         1. Equipment, interfaces and licenses to permit Subscriber equipment to operate using SFU Wi-Fi systems when outside of LMR radio range.
         2. Equipment, interfaces and licenses to permit integration with cellular PTT systems and equipment.
      3. (M) The Response shall include:
         1. System descriptions with available options;
         2. System pricing;
         3. Warranty;
         4. Installation and commissioning plan; and
         5. Service and Support Plan.
      4. (I) SFU will be responsible to provide IP data communication links between repeater sites and consoles.
      5. (I) SFU will be responsible to provide licensed spectrum for the UHF system.
      6. (M) The System shall operate on, and be fully compatible with, the following spectrum allocations:
         1. UHF System: Narrow-band land-mobile channels as defined in SRSP-501.
