ADVERTISEMENT FOR BIDS
Subject to conditions prescribed by the University of California, Los Angeles, sealed bids for a lump sum
contract from prequalified bidders are invited for the following work:
BIG TEN NETWORK PHASE 2
Project Number 942402.01
DESCRIPTION OF WORK: The project will provide National Collegiate Athletic Association
(NCAA) sports facility broadcast improvements and upgrades at Mapes Beach (beach volleyball),
Spieker Aquatic Center (swimming and water polo), and John Wooden Center (volleyball), as well
as improvements to the campus fiber optic cabling infrastructure, as Phase 2 of the Big Ten
Network. This project would support UCLA's transition to the Big Ten Conference and enable
multiple simultaneous live broadcasts of UCLA athletic competitions on the Big Ten Network's
B1G+ digital platform.
The project involves the installation of broadcast communication equipment and infrastructure,
including new camera stations (with both dedicated broadcast cameras and replay cameras),
television reception panels (TVRPs), input/output (I/O) panels, waterproof enclosures or junction
boxes (JBTs), and associated broadcast cabling and electrical conduit at each venue. Project
improvements will make use of existing underground conduit networks as much as possible. New
100-amp and 200-amp connections will be installed as needed for the camera stations and TVRPs,
with electrical power provided from existing electrical panels and/or substations at each location.
All relevant athletic venues will connect to a centralized broadcast facility via a future campus fiber
optic network that will be run in existing underground campus IT conduit. This project includes the
installation of approximately 300 linear feet of new underground conduit between existing
manholes off Charles E. Young Drive North, where there is insufficient existing pathway for the
future campus fiber network.
Work may be sequenced to maintain existing site occupants and facility operations.
Hazmat abatement will be required.
The estimated construction cost is $6,114,544.
