RFSQ - Telecommunications Towers and Equipment Shelters

This Request for Supplier Qualifications ('RFSQ') is an invitation by the Province of Nova Scotia (the 'Province') on behalf of the Department of Service Nova Scotia to prospective respondents to qualify for receipt of a potential subsequent solicitation to be issued by the Province for the potential provision of telecommunications towers and equipment shelters as further described in the RFSQ Particulars (Appendix B) (the 'Deliverables'). This RFSQ is being conducted pursuant to the Nova Scotia Sustainable Procurement Policy and Procurement Manual. Public Safety and Field Communications is the division in the Government Services section of the Department of Service Nova Scotia that has responsibility for the radio telecommunications infrastructure of the Provincial government, and many volunteer agencies in the province. This includes the operation of infrastructure that composes the Nova Scotia Integrated Mobile Radio System, as well as provincial contract administration for the Bell Mobility Trunked Mobile Radio System in Nova Scotia, and the operation of NS-SAT NET, a satellite telephone initiative of the province. This RFSQ will establish a list of pre-qualified bidders who will be invited through subsequent invitational tenders over the next 36 months to submit proposals for the construction of telecommunications towers (guyed and self supporting) generally ranging from 30 meters to 120 meters. Solicitations will also be made for the design, supply, and installation of equipment shelters to be integrated with the telecommunications towers. These towers and shelters support mission critical public safety and public works radio communications systems critical to first responders and others in the protection of life and property.
