DESCRIPTION

A government authority in Estates, Illinois is seeking a vendor to provide a comprehensive Wi-Fi expansion service for a large-scale arena environment. The project requires the installation of wireless access points across diverse architectural surfaces and elevations, demanding expertise in complex environments.

The provider will supply all labor and materials for low-voltage cabling, termination, certification testing, and the physical installation of agency-provided equipment, including mounting hardware. The scope encompasses constructing necessary pathways such as conduit, cable trays, J-hooks, or raceways to route cabling from distribution frames to WAP locations. Installations must use Category 6A cabling, with color-specific jackets (black or grey) and proper cable management. All cable runs must be terminated at both the patch panel and the WAP, using RJ45 keystones, and must be permanently labeled at both ends per VOHE IT standards.

The contract period is one year, and a mandatory pre-bid meeting will be held prior to submission deadlines.
