B. Installation and Labor The proposal is to include the following: 1. Technical specifications of hardware and software, including relevant FIPS certification 2. On-prem or Remote installation of hardware. 3. Installation of software, licensing, and activation. 4. Delivery timeline and installation plan. 5. Targeting and connectivity to systems that house data. 6. Testing of backup and restore operations. 7. Assistance/Training with implementing best-practice utilization and configuration (job setup and scheduling, rotation, and testing). 8. Hardware and Software documentation. 9. The system will be turn-key, with full 100% functionality. Further support to meet these requirements must not incur additional costs. Any additional work, considered outside the scope of this project, must be itemized, and accompanied by SOW for authorization by both parties, before performing tasks.
