Summary Details
Proponents are invited to submit a Proposal for the Supply and Support Services of a Portable Cellular Network (PCN) for the Ministry of Water, Land and Resource Stewardship (WLRS) & Natural Resource Information and Digital Services (NRIDS) to support the British Columbia Wildfire Service (BCWS).
The proposed Service will enable cellular service at front line operations of natural disasters in British Columbia (BC), and potentially other neighbouring provinces as required to support BC crews where they are deployed.
The Province is seeking an existing system rather than collaborating on the development of a substantially new system.
The Province is seeking a partnership with a vendor to use PCN unit/s continuously for 6 months of the year and then on a as and when needed month to month basis.
The Province will require at least 1 PCN unit to be ready and accessible by April 1, 2025.
The Province may require over the term of the contract the option to lease more Portable Cellular Network units.
The term of the Contract resulting from this RFP is anticipated to be a one-year (1) term which, at the sole discretion of the Province, may be extended by four (4) additional one-year terms (“Renewal Term/s”). Resource requirements for these years may be increased or reduced depending upon future development requirements.
Further details as to the scope of this opportunity and the requirements can be found within this RFP.

|
|
|
Estimated Contract Duration (in months)
The estimated contract duration includes the full length of the contract, including any potential extensions. Further details on the contract term may be described in the Rfx document and is subject to contract finalizaton.
