TITLE:	Zetron Consoles 

Both Banff and Jasper National Parks run emergency dispatch
centers coordinating emergency responses via both two-way radio
and traditional landline communications.  In order to coordinate
the two-way radio portion of the dispatch, both Banff and Jasper
currently operate using a Zetron Series 4000 Communication
Control System. At each site, the systems are composed of the
Series 4000 central switching equipment along with several
Zetron Radio Dispatch Consoles also known as Integrator
consoles, for use by the dispatchers.

A Dispatch Services Review, undertaken earlier this year,
identified an operational weakness due to the fact that the
Banff and Jasper dispatches were both running independently and
isolated from each other.  To address this weakness, it was
recommended that Banff add an additional VoIP Radio Dispatch
Console that was connected to the Jasper Dispatch system in
order to be able to remotely monitor the Jasper dispatch and
assist or take over operations if necessary.  Conversely, it was
recommended that Jasper add an additional VoIP Radio Dispatch
Console in order to remotely monitor the Banff dispatch and
assist or take over operations if necessary.

In order to allow the new VoIP Radio Dispatch consoles operate
properly within the two dispatch environments, it is also
necessary to make some upgrades to the overall Zetron Series
4000 Communication Control Systems at each of the dispatch
locations.  A technical analysis of the dispatch systems was run
and detailed parts lists were obtained, as outlined in
solicitation document.

While the delivery is requested by February 20, 2015, all the
deliverables must be received on or before March 31, 2015.
