3.1. System Design and Engineering: • Conduct a thorough assessment of Macon-Bibb County to determine optimal siren locations and specifications to achieve 100% audible coverage, considering terrain, population density, and noise pollution. Provide detailed coverage maps demonstrating predicted sound propagation. • Design a robust and reliable communication infrastructure to connect all sirens to the central control system, considering redundancy and backup options (e.g., radio, cellular, IP). • Specify the type, power output, and features of the proposed sirens, ensuring they meet or exceed industry standards for outdoor warning systems. This is inclusive of a secondary power source as a backup power system. • Utilize a web-based control system interface, ensuring it is intuitive, secure, and provides the necessary functionalities outlined in this SOW. • Develop detailed system specifications, including hardware, software, communication protocols, power requirements, and mounting requirements for each siren location. • Provide detailed plans for system installation, testing, commissioning, and ongoing maintenance. 3.2. Equipment and Materials: • Supply all necessary siren units, control system hardware and software, communication equipment, mounting hardware, cabling, and any other components required for a fully functional system. • Supply all necessary mounting solutions to achieve proper height for optimal sound distribution. This solution should include multiple options for mounting types based on location of siren. For example, pole mounted, building mounted, etc. This RFP should also include optional cost for wood versus steel poles. • Ensure all equipment is new, of high quality, and designed for long-term outdoor operation in the climate of Macon-Bibb County. • Provide detailed specifications and datasheets for all proposed equipment. Included will be information on useful life / end of life of the sirens, mounting equipment, accessories, and control system. 3.3. System Installation: • Manage and execute the complete installation of all siren units and associated equipment in pre-approved locations throughout Macon-Bibb County. • Manage and execute the complete removal of all existing siren units and associated equipment in locations throughout Macon-Bibb County. • Coordinate with Macon-Bibb County and / or other local / state / federal authorities regarding site access, permits, and any necessary logistical arrangements. • Ensure all installations are performed in accordance with manufacturer specifications, relevant safety standards, and local regulations. • Provide clear documentation of each installation, including GPS coordinates of siren locations.
