Project Name	Big Ten Network Phase 2 (opens in new tab, PDF)
Project Number	942402.01
Project Description	Subject to conditions prescribed by the University of California, Los Angeles, responses to the University's prequalification documents for a Lump Sum contract are sought from prospective prime contractor bidders (hereafter “bidders”) for the following project: 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. TO VIEW AND DOWNLOAD ALL FURTHER INFORMATION (PREQUALIFICATION DOCUMENTS; ADDENDA, IF ANY; PQ CONFERENCE SIGN-IN SHEET; ETC.), CLICK HERE: UCLA ONLINE PLANROOM
