RFI 2016047 Perform a replacement of all consoles with Symphony consoles and requisite switch that allows for a network interoperable connection between the existing EDACS system and the new P-25 system. Interface an existing Migration Gateway to the existing EDACS IMC to the new Vida core switch. This stage of the migration will be in use for at least several years to allow for budget cycle funding of user equipment. All new user equipment will be capable of operating in the EDACS and P-25 Phase II mode to allow full featured support required for the interim system configuration. The proposer will be required to guarantee that the new equipment will be compatible with all functionality of existing communications infrastructure. • Interface four (4) channel five (5) sites of P-25 Phase II with an existing County EDACS system for parallel operations as mentioned above. The intent is to effect a smooth and reliable interoperation between the two systems while agencies continue to budget and purchase compatible equipment. • During the user migration period, additional sites will be evaluated; and, if required, implemented into the system expansion. A strong emphasis is placed on no disruption of service, which is paramount. Severe penalties will be placed on failure to perform to a public safety grade of service. • Implementation of a Be -On network with the associated licenses and peripheral systems will be provided. The required factory knowledge and familiarity with this product will be required for integration into the P-25 and EDACS system. • Eventually, additional channels will be added to the P-25 system. This will provide for capacity with system usage and eventual migration to the Phase II P -2S. • All vendors' engineers and technicians shall work with the existing radio service provider during the cutover and shall correct any issues that occur immediately as to not disrupt radio traffic. Cutovers should be coordinated during non -peak radio traffic hours to minimize any foreseen downtime. The cost of this shall be the responsibility of the provider. • Proposers must have a minimum of 8 years of hands-on experience, factory training and certification with the referenced equipment. Multiple references will be required to substantiate qualifications. • Vendors shall provide technical support available on site 24/7/365 within a one (1) hour notice of disruption and effect a repair within four (4) hours. This shall apply to each and every subset of equipment provided in this project and to any product into with which the radio system must interface. • As this is a public safety radio system, all work shall be conducted with no disruption of service. The proposer shall be responsible for all costs and liquidated damages associated with any disruption of service and any remedial effort needed to restore system to full operation. The County anticipates a phased replacement of the existing system over a five-year period. It is anticipated that the end using entities will purchase their own radios separately. Page 2 of 4 174
