The system must achieve a minimum of 90% coverage at an RSRP of -100 dBm or better on the 1st and 2nd floors. The contractor will be responsible for all management, labor, equipment, materials, and incidental services, including installation within two to three weeks of Notice to Proceed (NTP), and a three-year maintenance and support arrangement post-acceptance.
