NO CHANGES OR MODIFICATION SHALL BE MADE WITHOUT SPECIFIC WRITTEN AUTHORIZATION OF ITD. SECTION 25810 WIRELESS LOCAL AREA NETWORKS (WLANS) PART 1 - GENERAL This specification describes the equipment, installation, integration, configuration, testing, training, documentation, standards, and acceptance criteria, necessary for acquiring and implementing IEEE 802.11a/b/g Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) systems at the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD). This specification and its addenda (if any) provide requirements for product features, performance, installation, testing, and acceptance. During the vendor solicitation period, LAUSD will identify one of three possible procurement scenarios. Not all solicitations will require the Vendor to provide both equipment and installation services. The procurement scenarios are defined as follows: Vendor Furnished, Vendor Installed. In this scenario the Vendor will bid both the equipment and installation based on LAUSD provided system requirements and deployment scope. In addition, the Vendor will provide all necessary preparation, equipment configuration, clean-up, project documentation, and consumables necessary to implement a fully functioning system. Vendor Furnished, Owner Installed. In this scenario the Vendor will bid only the equipment based on LAUSD provided system requirements. In addition, the Vendor will provide all necessary preparation and consumable supplies to implement a fully functioning system. Owner Furnished, Vendor Installed. In this scenario the Vendor will bid only the installation of system equipment to be provided by LAUSD. Validation of equipment against the LAUSD provided network design and design documents is recommended. The Vendor will be responsible for providing all necessary preparation, equipment configuration, clean-up, project documentation, and consumables to necessary implement a fully functioning system. The scope of work and equipment to be provided will be defined in the Request for Quote (RFQ) or other procurement documents. Provisions for the Vendor will be required to furnish all labor,
