Radios and Accessory Equipment

Background
The Tuscaloosa Veteran Affairs Medical Center (TVAMC) plans to procure a complete Digital Trunked Radio System with repeaters permitting redundancies in system functionality. The system must be able to provide radio coverage to the TVAMC, Selma Clinic. The system will be used to provide routine daily internal communications for employees in VA Police Service and will also be utilized to provide communications throughout the facility under emergency situations or outages of normal communications systems. The radios operating on narrow band frequencies must meet the intent of the P25 compliant document for Health Care facilities. The system must provide a console and 3 base/3 mobile radios to VA Police Service that establish interoperability with all community police and emergency services and meet the requirement of P25 compliance as they are on the AWIN network. Utilizing the DSL line should be able to connect to the Selma Clinic.
This system needs to be interoperable with the local, county, and state law enforcement.
