Never has there existed in the county a communications system with this extraordinary capability and complexity, nor has every agency in the County ever had the ability to communicate with each other while retaining their autonomy. While history will be made if it comes to fruition, the main objective is to provide a system that will serve every agency in the County for years to come, a system that has the ability to migrate to newer and greater technologies without purchasing an entire new backbone. As noted above, the original major funding source for the 800 MHz System was revenue from the One Cent Sales Tax. It was obvious to staff that given the projects planned which will utilize this source of reve4ue, funding for the communications project could only be achieved by reprioritizing existing projects and or reallocating the funding for the current five year increment. Staff has prepared a recommendation to fund the increased cost of this project as noted on Attachment -A-2- for consideration by the. Board. Staff recommends approval of the proposed contract in the amount of $5,716,373 with Ericsson, Inc., for the 800 MHz Communications System plus $60,000 for the County's portion of the cost as with the two east towers for a total of $5,776,373. sociated ATTACffiUN7.'S : Attachment A - 800 MHz Financial Information Attachment B - 800 MHz Information/Definitions Attachment C - Final Report from Dick Warden Associates Attachment D - Proposed 800 MHz Communications System Contract APPROVED FOR AGENDA i FOR: December 19,1995 BY: r Jim Chandler county Administrator December 19, 1995 58 �Ry117MM! �i 58
