Radio Repeater Service

1. This is a notice of intent to sole source. 2. The Department of the Treasury, Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP), has a facility located at 9000 Blue Mound Road, Fort Worth, TX 76131. In support of this facility, it transports various materials, under police escort, to and from Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport and Gerdau's Midlothian Steel Mill located at 300 Ward Road, Midlothian, TX 76065. 3. The BEP currently uses a Motorola 400 Mhz radio system. The BEP holds the license for this system. This system has XTS-5000 hand held radios and a MCC 5500 base station. The police require a radio repeater because, by themselves, the radios cannot transmit to and from the locations at paragraph 2. This repeater (which is owned by the BEP) is located on the WBAP tower, which is located at: 32°36'38" N, 97°10'00" W. 4. The transmitter is a Motorola, type and model T53 65A Quantar repeater with a power output of 110 watts. 5. American Tower Corporation has provided maintenance and power to this equipment, as well as leasing space to BEP on this tower for the repeater. 6. The BEP believes that this is the only tower that can meet the Bureau's requirements for transmission to the areas stated above. 7. Interested vendors who believe they can provide this service (or believe that the BEP is incorrect regarding any of the statements above) are invited to email Douglas J.
