The simulator requested would modify the interior of a pre-existing vehicle. The tender calls for three 50″ LED screens; working switches, pedals and gauges; as well as simulated noises and vibrations.
There is no budget listed for the new tool, however lower bids will be scored more favourably than higher ones.
Bidding closes Feb. 18, 2014.
