Internal Communications System Upgrade Services

The government authority in British Columbia is seeking a contractor to provide internal communications system upgrade services. The authority requires an integrated communications package that supports both simplex and duplex modes of operation, depending on the station being accessed. The system must combine hands-free/talk back, intercom, and public address functions, except where specified to be stand-alone. A central switching controller, powered by a 24 VDC source, must control the integrated package from the wheelhouse plenum or the wheelhouse stairway. The authority prefers to utilize existing wiring where feasible, but requires the identification, replacement, and removal of any incompatible cables or components. The contractor must perform all work onsite in British Columbia. Eligibility is restricted to onshore bidders located in Canada only. Bidders must submit their proposals digitally via email or through the online portal. The authority has not disclosed a specific budget and is looking for proposals to determine the cost.
