The pagers should have an audible paging signal, audible low battery alarm, and user-selected "silent" mode with vibration signaling. Pagers must be capable of being accessed from and "true tone" push button telephone, with the technical capability of allowing the user to access a pager without having to first obtain an outside line (i.e. dial "9") when paging from a telephone connected to the Government CATS/PBX system. The Naval Hospital has set aside a four-digit extension (1891) for this purpose. If this involves either a trunk line to the contractor's computer or the use of a call distributor to share additional lines, it will be the contractor's responsibility to meet that requirement. The system shall be capable of penetrating reinforced concrete structures to include lead-lined rooms and earthquake resistant buildings. This provision may require installation of a transmitter/repeater and /or separate antenna/radiax cable for each floor containing lead-lined rooms or earthquake resistant materials.

The pager system shall have a minimum pager radius of 150 miles from the Naval Hospital, Camp Pendleton. This range radius shall include penetration of other earthquake-reinforced structures such as the hospitals and clinics in San Diego, CA; Yuma, AZ; El Toro/Tustin, CA; and Barstow, CA. The contractor shall provide local telephone numbers for the Branch Clinics at Barstow and Seal Beach, CA and Yuma, AZ for their respective calling areas. The contractor shall provide all transmitters/repeaters, system hardware/software, and related equipment necessary to ensure successful performance of all pagers. It may be necessary to place a second transmitter/repeater on Horno Ridge, located approximately seven and one half miles form the Hospital at Camp Pendleton. The contractor will be required to certify and ensure that the paging system provided does not interfere with other hospital electronic equipment, including but not limited to LAN lines that run throughout the hospital ceilings. The contractor shall provide a specific point of contact (e.g. an account or service representative) to be the principal point of contact and provide liaison for conducting day-to-day pager business.

A minimum of three percent (3%) of provided pagers must be available at all times as replacement and back-up units. This back-up supply shall be replenished "one-for-one" on a periodic as-needed basis, and shall not drop below five percent (5%) unprogrammed pagers available at any one time. The contractor shall provide the COR with a monthly report identifying each pager provided, by a date agreed upon. This report shall be sorted by organization codes/departments. The COR will provide the contractor with a master list, which shows pager numbers, to assist the contractor in sorting the monthly report.
