provide comprehensive annual preventive maintenance, testing, optimization, documentation, and compliance
certification services for Emergency Responder Radio Coverage Systems (ERRCS) to the University of California, San
Diego ("UC San Diego" or "University"), in accordance with the requirements set forth in this RFP.
The overall objective of this RFP is to select a primary supplier to assist UC San Diego in establishing a cost effective
and efficient program for maintaining reliable public-safety radio communications for emergency responders while

that includes clear reporting, prompt diagnostics, and transparent repair recommendations. All work must be

communications and meets all regulatory requirements. The selected Contractor will furnish all labor, equipment,
materials, and technical expertise necessary to perform these services.

of innovation, equity, and fiscal responsibility. Bidders are encouraged to demonstrate how their unique strengths
and proactive approach will create long-term value and support the safety and resilience of the campus
community.

Agreement of Understanding exists between The Regents of the University of California and The Trustees of the
California State University (CSU), and City Community Colleges (CCC), establishing the California Higher Education
Consortium (CHEC). Through a collaborative relationship, the Consortium seeks to combine procurement and
contracting activities and efforts to obtain best value goods and services while reducing total acquisition costs.
Accordingly, the Agreement resulting from this solicitation shall recognize the possible participation of any of the
23 campuses residing within the Supplier's area of service. This understanding assumes the following:
