NOTES:
Note (1): Appropriate equipment room will be provided and properly
furnished and equipped in all sites.
Note (2): Procurement and preparation of BTS and Microwave antenna sites
is the responsibility of ITPC. In many cases existing ITPC towers and
facilities will be used. The responsibility of erection of new towers and mast
will be agreed upon with the supplier. In some cases shelters will be used
either on the ground or on rooftops to provide the necessary space to install
the BTS and Microwave links equipment.
Note (3): Existing and newly recruited engineers shall be employed for the
project. No problem whatsoever is envisaged in this aspect due to high
availability of unemployed engineers in the local market. Special incentives
will be given to help in this matter.
