Description

This is a market survey to locate vendors who have experience with installing Common Wireless Access Systems (CWAS) in which Verizon Wireless, Sprint/Nextel, T-Mobile, Cingular/AT&T, and WiFi hotspots all share. The Smithsonian Institution (SI) is interested in installing a CWAS system within and around the Smithsonian?s facilities on the National Mall in Washington, DC. The system shall initially be deployed separate from SI?s internal networks but shall be capable of being leveraged at a later time for private SI-Net access. Expectations of the Vendor: 1) Design the system by: identifying the hardware required to support SI?s requirements; developing and documenting the electronic and wiring infrastructure design; and providing CAD diagrams of all device locations and device connectivity/routes. 2) Negotiate with carriers for capital expenses to support the design and build-out of the system, and negotiate annual fees for carrier access to the system (recurring revenue for SI). 3) Build the system in coordination with SI staff. 4) Provide ongoing maintenance of the system (each cellular carrier will be responsible for its own frequency maintenance). Each respondent should provide a written confirmation that it has: (a) prior experience negotiating with carriers for capital expenditures and on-going revenue; and (b) prior experience designing, building and maintaining CWAS systems through at least three to five projects of similar size and scope (please include references). The deadline for response is November 30, 2005. Please submit to EMAILADD: forvillej@si.edu or FAX: 202-275-0624, Attn: Ms. Janet Forville.
