Some ERCES stakeholders have a indicated a concern about companies who perform in-building radio signal strength assessment testing to determine whether or not a building needs an ERCES system, and who then provide a quote to design and install a system if the building fails. It has been suggested that this may be a conflict of interest.
We seek your opinion on the various models we've seen around the country:
- Jurisdiction maintains a list of "approved" testing vendors.
- Jurisdiction designates one "approved" test vendor per jurisdiction.
- Jurisdiction may or may not allow the testing vendor to also bid the work.
- Jurisdiction has no restrictions on who tests and who installs.
Please give us your opinion, which we will publish after tabulating the results.
