Renovation of a communication facility in Corona, California. Completed plans call for the renovation of a communication facility.

As of February 15, 2024 this project has not yet been awarded. A timeline for the award has not yet been established. The City of Corona is requesting Prequalification Statements from interested Design-Build (D-B) Entities for the VHF Radio Network and Microwave System Replacement Project. The City plans to select a D-B Entity for the Project through a two-step competitive selection process. This request for Prequalification Statements is the first step in that process. The D-B Entity must possess appropriately licensed contracting, architectural, and engineering services as needed for a design-build contract. City will consider teams consisting of a general contractor with contractual relationships with entities providing the other required licenses and capable of providing all services required for the Project. The D-B Entity is expected to have design-build experience with projects similar in size, scope, type, and complexity of cost. The purpose of the Project is to select a qualified and experienced vendor to plan, design, build, implement, test, and commission into service a VHF conventional analog simulcast land mobile radio (LMR) network and a public safety-grade microwave system hereafter referred to as City of Corona Radio Network. The City's existing VHF LMR network is currently operating transmission equipment that is at its end of life, and this network is intended to deliver modern and standardized LMR and Microwave equipment that can be sustained over the next 15-20 years. The VHF radio system will be integrated into the City's dispatch subsystems. The primary VHF and Microwave project elements include, but are not limited to, the following: 1. VHF conventional simulcast analog LMR network including base station equipment, simulcast core network, and all related system components 2. Microwave radio network equipment and all related system components 3. New transmission system for each site including radio and microwave antennas, transmission lines and connecting cables and connectors 4. A network management system 5. Equipment installation, transmission system installation, system design services, and project management services 6. Radio tower loading analysis 7. VHF and Microwave facility Federal Communications Systems channel licenses where appropriate 8. Various network operational and end user training 9. Network monitoring, corrective maintenance, and possible preventative maintenance. D-B Entities shall access the Documents & Attachments Tab to review and download all prequalification documents posted on the PlanetBids website for the Project. Financial Statements should be submitted as separate pdf file(s) from the D-B entity's response file. The City is providing a full prequalification document as a single file and separate files for the Prequalification Questionnaire and the Skilled and Trained Workforce Certification for D-B Entity convenience. It is mandatory that all interested D-B Entities submit a complete Prequalification Statement, including a completed Prequalification Questionnaire, Skilled and Trained Workforce Certification, and ALL additional requested materials electronically through PlanetBids, for City's review and evaluation. Notes Please allow sufficient time to fully complete and upload all documents prior to the submission deadline. Request for Prequalification Statements documents can be uploaded, modified or withdrawn any time prior to the submission deadline. Please review the E-bidding Instructions FAQs uploaded to the Documents & Attachments Tab to familiarize yourself with the PlanetBids system. The PlanetBids system will not accept late prequalification packages. No exceptions. Online Q&A Yes Q&A Deadline 11/30/2023 5:00 PM (PST)
