This upgrade will use the existing microwave radio network system currently in place to support <br />the P-25 system and will not require loading the towers with additional equipment. <br />On August 16, 2016, the Board approved Communications International as the sole source <br />provider for the P25 Radio System project. Since the MPLS equipment will handle both P25 <br />Radio System traffic and the PSAP traffic, and will use the County's current radio system <br />infrastructure, staff recommends the Board approves Communications International as a sole <br />source provider for the MPLS project. <br />Utilizing the designated P25 Radio System provider will guarantee system integrity and <br />compatibility between the P25 Radio Networks IP Plan and the MPLS IP Plan. Also, it will <br />assure needed redundancy for the County's mission critical communications. <br />FUNDING: <br />Funding for the MPLS project is a planned expenditure, and it is included in the FY2019-2020 <br />Communications Center (120-133) budget. <br />ITEM I <br />I Amount <br />I Account Number <br />911 Surcharge/Communications Center/ Other Machinery & Eq ui ment <br />1 $140,838.18 <br />12013325-066490 <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />Staff recommends that the Board approve Communications International as sole source for the <br />MPLS project.
