DocuSign Envelope ID:67496B91-FCOD-4188-A6C5-F7496722386E <br /> - 1 Orange County, North Carolina <br /> ORANGE Countywide Radio Communications <br /> COUNTY <br /> NORtIt(AHO INN Interoperability and System Engineering Services <br /> Because we recognize that this task establishes the foundation for all future work, we will gather <br /> sufficient information necessary to accurately document the County's needs. Typically, the <br /> questionnaire will cover areas that include the following: <br /> • Functionality <br /> • Physical infrastructure <br /> • Backhaul <br /> • Daily and tactical operations <br /> • Performance including any coverage, capacity, and interference issues <br /> • Spectrum use <br /> • Current and future interoperability within the County and with other jurisdictions, agencies, <br /> and organizations <br /> • Number, type of subscriber units, and feature sets used <br /> • User needs and expectations <br /> The questionnaire will also consider the following specific County concerns: <br /> • Potential new site locations • Additional functional requirements/goals <br /> • In-building and underground coverage 0 Current and expected level of service <br /> • Available and expected funding 0 Network management needs <br /> • Specialized operating features 0 Disaster recovery <br /> FE proposes conducting a needs assessment interview with County system users, stakeholders, and <br /> local agency technical representatives. We propose that the interview, to be conducted immediately <br /> following the project initiation meeting, includes the technical representatives in the same sessions as <br /> users and stakeholders to promote synergy among the disciplines and help achieve consensus. This <br /> combined session will adequately collect the current concerns and future requirements, as well as <br /> identify any issues affecting the modification and continued use of equipment sites. <br /> FE will meet with the designated personnel and, using the pre-approved assessment questionnaire <br /> as a basis for discussion, discover and document the County's issues, concerns, and expectations for <br /> the future. FE will catalog the collected information and conduct follow-up discussions with <br /> participants as necessary to complete the assessments. <br /> 3.2.2 Site Data and Equipment Inventory Review (RFP 5.C.2) <br /> 2. Gather, analyze, and document operational, functional, and specific technical information <br /> of existing fixed sites and associated equipment for various emergency service <br /> departments that serve Orange County residents (may be an Orange County based <br /> agency or a Department in a County adjacent to Orange County that serves/protects <br /> geography within Orange County), or Orange County emergency service departments <br /> that serve residents outside Orange County in order to understand the present status of <br /> our communications capabilities. <br /> FE already has the County's site data from previous projects. We will review our existing site data to <br /> verify that it is current. We will refresh this data, as necessary, via information collected during the <br /> needs assessment interviews (described above). The County may have added sites since we <br /> conducted our previous analysis. We will review available data the County has for those sites as well <br /> Copyright Protected Do Not Duplicate 24 �,� <br />
