PRE-QUALIFICATION QUESTIONNAIRE - Cash Handling Machines Replacement & Maintenance
EXPRESSION OF INTEREST - TRAIN RADIO REPLACEMENT
Translink propose to update the current Train Radio Network used by NIR for communicating with train drivers in the case of an emergency. Each train driving cab has an individual radio set communicating with the radio control unit based in Central station.
The current radio transmission network is serviced through base stations located at:-
• Divis mountain
• Carrickajuke (Armagh)
• Harkins Hill (Londonderry)
These sites are owned by PSNI, and NIR have permission to locate their base stations and aerials at each site. A network survey was carried out which identified a number of areas that had very weak signal strength (i.e. black spots). To improve signal strength/coverage to these areas, three new base station sites were identified by the use of a software signal strength mapping programme.
This mapping exercise identified these new sites.
• Donegal (RTE broadcast mast)
• Ballymoney (O2 Mobile phone mast)
• Blacks Mountain (Clermount Carn, Armagh Louth Border RTE broadcast mast)
The other part of the project is to install a standby base station at each location so that in the event of a failure the standby would take over. As part of the overall improvement the radio control unit at Central station requires upgrading to overcome the control units limited facilities.
One major limiting factor of current control unit is the radio test facility, the view is to do away with manual test calls and have automatic test calling which would greatly reduce the involvement of the controllers along with an improved auditing process.
Translink want to appoint a Communications company with experience in this field to provide the following services.
• Provide a technical assessment of NIR’s proposal.
• Design the new Radio Network and produce a technical specification.
• Provide equipment specifications and detailed costs.
• Submit a proposal for its implementation.
Subject to Translink’s approval the Communications Company may be retained to carry out the full or partial implementation of this project.
It is expected that the initial design works will take place from June / July 2008 and the implementation from October 2008. The new radio system is to commission by April 2009.
To participate in the tendering process for this requirement please complete the below Pre Qualification Questionnaire and return it to the address stated in the document by 15.00 hrs on Wednesday 21st May 2008.
