Wi-Fi Survey and Wireless Assessment Services

The Capital Region Airport Commission in Richmond, Virginia is seeking professional Wi-Fi survey and wireless assessment services to evaluate existing wireless coverage, performance, interference, and infrastructure conditions. This assessment will support future wireless optimization, operational reliability, passenger connectivity, and long-term infrastructure planning. The agency requires these services to identify dead zones, weak coverage areas, and performance deficiencies across designated airport facilities and operational areas. The selected vendor must perform predictive, passive, and active wireless surveys while providing all necessary labor, software, testing equipment, transportation, and materials. The scope of work includes validating signal strength for passenger and operational areas, analyzing signal-to-noise ratios, identifying interference, and assessing capacity and client density in high-occupancy environments. Additionally, the vendor must test wireless roaming and handoff for mobile operational users and coordinate all activities in advance with commission staff. The agency requires a comprehensive final report containing wireless heat maps for 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and potentially 6 GHz coverage, along with documented coverage deficiencies and interference sources. The deliverables must also include recommended wireless access point locations, photos of mounting locations, cabling pathways, power availability, a bill of materials for recommended hardware, and an executive summary of prioritized recommendations. All work must be performed offsite during commission business hours from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. unless the agency approves otherwise. Eligibility is restricted to onshore vendors located within the United States. The agency is requesting proposals to determine the budget and will award a contract with a duration of one year. Specific evaluation criteria and key procurement dates are not specified in the project details.
