This microwave backhaul will <br /> have excess capacity that may be used for other County purposes. <br /> • New sites constructed that include new towers should include the ability to support <br /> future growth (additional antennas and users). The County can use the future growth <br /> capacity to support expansion of the radio system(s) or to support other wireless <br /> systems, such as broadband. <br /> • Building the system over time does not provide a solution that meets all radio <br /> coverage needs in one step. The County will not recognize full countywide radio <br /> coverage improvements. This multi-step approach requires a more complex <br /> transition/migration plan for each step. <br /> Following County approvals of the selected replacement radio solution plan and <br /> funding, the County should proceed to the next phases of the project, which consist of: <br /> • Preparing technical specifications and a request for proposal (RFP) for Step 1 <br /> • Executing an interlocal agreement with Durham County for core equipment use <br /> • Evaluation of vendor proposals <br /> • Vendor contract and price negotiations, and contract award <br /> • Step 1 system implementation <br /> Page 4 of 4 <br /> April 14, 2017 ;Tv �" <br /> eery,. <br />
