They are based upon specifications for known acceptable manufacturers, processes, materials and/or brands such as American Tower, Hytera, Kenwood, Landmark Tower, Midland, Motorola, Rohn, Sabre Communications, Westel Wireless, and Western Tower. The specifications are not intended to be exclusive or to restrict competition.

Bidders shall provide evidence that they have a current C-67 or CR-67 Low Voltage Communication Systems license or are in the process of being awarded a license by the Arizona Registrar of Contractors. Those bidders submitting a material only bid shall certify by taking exception to Specification 1.1.04 and providing a clear explanation for the exception, per the instructions found in the Scope of Work and Specifications Acceptance Form . Bidders that are in the process of applying for a contractor’s license, shall provide in Tab 2b a copy of the Arizona Registrar of Contractors application receipt with pending number included.
