  1. Page 113: On Tape Library

Bidders who will utilize the existing SL3000 need not consider the specifications indicated. However, for new solution providers, these are the minimum specifications needed. For those using current library, the three points will be awarded according to the explanations given on integration with the rest of the systems.

  1. Page 86: On EDW

16TB is the initial installation requirement. We have no existing EDW. The 3 TB per year is the expected cumulative storage capacity growth per year. The warehouse will be real-time.

  1. Page 89: “Single Version of Truth”

The warehousing is expected to have either a single centralized database, or at least a distributed synchronized database, which stores all of KPLC's data in a consistent and non-redundant form. Bidders are expected to propose their solution on how this is going to be achieved.

  1. Page 31/33: UPS

Bidders are to supply an integrated support UPS for the server and cater for associated electrical power fittings and installations for their equipment. The equipment installation (servers, etc) should include connection cables to power, and terminal units. The new installation should have its own electrical panel.

  1. Page 97: Applications

For current versions of the ICS, IMS, DCS and the Facilities database, assuming that these are PowerBuilder/Oracle apps is there any server-side component apart from Oracle DB that needs to be migrated to the new servers? No.

Are the ICS batch processes still on MF COBOL? Yes.

All Indra systems formally on Natural/Adabas were migrated to Oracle.

If offering another solution apart from Oracle then the bidder need to migrate.

  1. Page 98: Annual Support and Maintenance

Comprehensive support maintenance is expected. Total Cost of ownership includes all costs of servicing software and hardware after installation and warranty period. Cost per year after warranty period is to be considered for 5 years after warranty and be filled in the table.

  1. Type Test Certificates

These are required as a standard and best practice for each system. Some equipment requires type approval from CCK. Bidders will be evaluated on how they explain the type tests for their systems.

  1. Page 102 and 126: Reference Letters

The 4 reference letters required is for similar total project and the same applies to the USD 1.2 million.
