M Future EMS Stations — Funds of $875,000 each in Years 1, 3, and 5 of the CIP are included for the construction of three (3) stand -alone new substations for Emergency Services, with a fourth substation planned in Year 7. The cost is for the facility and infrastructure, and assumes construction on County -owned property. Locations will be identified as part of the process for facility siting, and may include co- locating with cell towers or with other County operations, which could possibly reduce the costs. Funding amounts could change on a site -by -site basis. Communication System Improvements — includes continued phasing in of Emergency Services 800 Mhz radios in Years 1 -4 of the CIP, with replacement of Sheriff radios of $920,000 in Year 5 (FY 2017 -18). Year 1 (FY 2013 -14) also includes financing of P25 Compliant Radio System Consoles totaling $832,268 and replacement of the main 9 -1 -1 switch - NextGen Phone System of $402,000 (debt service to be paid with E -9 -1 -1 funds on both of these), and the financing of P25 compliant portable radios for the rural fire districts (debt service to be paid by the General Fund). The purchase of the P25 compliant consoles and radios ensures integration to the new platform that the North Carolina State Highway Patrol /VIPER is scheduled to place in service during the second half of 2013. (NOTE: At the March 19, 2013 BOCC meeting, the BOCC approved Budget Amendment #8 -A for the purchase of twenty -seven portable radios at a discounted price of $89,077. With this purchase, the $143,000 currently in FY 2013 -14 for 800 Mhz Radios can be removed from this project. Also, at the same meeting, the BOCC approved Budget Amendment #8 -B to purchase eleven P25 Compliant radio consoles in the 9 -1 -1 Center with a 30% down payment in the current fiscal year towards this purchase. With this down payment, $231,026 can be removed from this project in FY 2013 -14).
