Emergency Radio Communication Enhancement Systems (ERCES)
SCOPE OF WORK
Design Parameter/Frequencies Amplified
The project scope will consist of a single DAS system to support the 17,586 square foot 2-story
building. The, DAS system will consist of a single Yagi antenna located on the roof of the building with the
building amplifier located in a 2-hour rated room. A 2-hour vertical shaft will also be needed from the
head end room to the roof and to every floor as well. AWS will provide 24-hour UPS at the amplifier
location to support the system per code.
All work shall be installed in compliance with Industry Standards, Local Jurisdictions and standard
NEC codes. AWS will provide a code compliant ERRC system. AWS is to amplify frequencies for City of
Firestone Emergency Responder Radio users. Currently the City of Firestone is using 700/800 MHz
frequencies.
FRONTIER FIRE PROTECTION will start the project with a kick-off meeting between our project
team and the customers. This meeting will be to discuss project expectations, schedule, material delivery
logistics and other topics as required.
Design/Coordination
FRONTIER FIRE PROTECTION will provide project coordination and design for the carrier system.
Coordination will include on -site and/or conference calls to properly communicate the carrier system
requirements and how the system will impact the building structure and other trades within the building.
The possible impacts will be:
• Equipment space requirements
• Power/Cooling for DAS equipment (if needed)
• Conduit and cable pathways
• Coordination for indoor and roof antenna's
The system design package will include a complete and accurate set of drawings that indicate location of
each piece of equipment in the system. FRONTIER FIRE PROTECTION will identify antenna locations in plain view.
The completed package will include product cut sheets for your records.
PG 7 OF 5
2
Implementation
The implementation of the system will take place in 3 phases; passive equipment, active
equipment and commissioning/programming.
The passive equipment will include the delivery of all cabling and connectors associated with the
system. FRONTIER FIRE PROTECTION will provide all materials and will provide the labor to design,
commission, and test the system.
t
The active equipment will be installed toward the end of the project when rooms are secure and
dust is minimized to protect the equipment. Like the passive system, FRONTIER FIRE PROTECTION will
provide all equipment to site and install. The installation of the equipment will be depicted in the
drawings. EMT Raceway is included in this proposal.
The commissioning/programming of the system will be conducted by a FRONTIER FIRE
PROTECTION technician with an FCC license. The commissioning/programming will consist of positioning
the donor antenna on the exterior of the building with the correct azimuth to the appropriate donor site.
FRONTIER FIRE PROTECTION will also log into the BDA to observe and adjust the settings to make sure
the building coverage meets the customer standards. System testing and coordination with the fire
marshal will also be included after the commissioning process is complete.
FRONTIER FIRE PROTECTION will coordinate the purchase and delivery of all equipment based on
the project schedule.
