DocuSign Envelope ID:67496B91-FCOD-4188-A6C5-F7496722386E <br /> - 1 Orange County, North Carolina <br /> ORANGE Countywide Radio Communications <br /> COUNTY <br /> NUM[i(A(i(/LINA Interoperability and System Engineering Services <br /> use. FE monitors the FCC's rules and regulations, as well as the latest reports, orders, <br /> notices, and memoranda that pertain to the wireless regulatory arena. We will put the County <br /> on our watch list for any items that may affect the existing FCC licenses <br /> As an option, FE can prepare FCC Form 601 license applications, frequency coordination <br /> forms, and FAA forms and file applications with the designated frequency coordinator or other <br /> appropriate entity on behalf of the County, or file directly with the FCC when frequency <br /> coordination is not required for simple license modifications, special temporary authority, rule <br /> waiver requests, and certain license applications. <br /> Deliverable—New System Coverage Performance (RFP 5.D.4) <br /> 4. Propagation studies showing expected coverage of the recommended system at <br /> standards identified by end user needs and as approved by the committee for both mobile <br /> and portable radios, and paging receivers. <br /> FE will produce a mutually agreed upon set of coverage maps of the recommended new system for <br /> both mobile and portable subscriber units depicting major geographical landmarks and the area <br /> topography, including scale, color schemes, highway/road data,jurisdictional boundaries, and desired <br /> performance characteristics. <br /> 3.2.6 FETeamCoveragel(Optional Task) <br /> As an option, we offer FE Team Coverage', our powerful, interactive tool that involves clients in the <br /> system design process. The process is facilitated by a subject matter expert from our Spectrum <br /> Center of ExcellenceTm. FE Team Coverage'is a unique Federal Engineering offering based upon <br /> proven modeling software and has been consistently lauded by our clients. It builds user consensus <br /> and facilitates "buy-in" of the eventual system. The following are addressed during the FE Team <br /> Coverage'workshop: <br /> • System users' coverage needs <br /> • Other participating jurisdictions' coverage needs <br /> • Coverage problem areas identified during the needs assessment <br /> • How to meet fire-ground and in-building coverage needs <br /> • Areas where traditional tower-based coverage is not possible (i.e., locations that are <br /> environmentally protected, difficult access, or have no power) <br /> • Leveraging existing sites and potential new sites to fill coverage gaps <br /> As radio coverage is modeled and gaps are indicated, FE's subject matter expert will interactively, <br /> and in real-time, manipulate the model and display the effects of changing site equipment or placing <br /> additional sites in the network. Workshop attendees will immediately be able to evaluate the impact <br /> of these changes and determine what should be done to meet user requirements. <br /> At the conclusion of the workshop, FE will produce a mutually agreed upon set of coverage maps, <br /> customized to your needs, depicting major geographical landmarks, area topography, highway/road <br /> data,jurisdictional boundaries, and desired performance characteristics. <br /> FE Team Coverage can be provided over the Internet via collaborative software or in a classroom <br /> environment at your option. <br /> Copyright Protected Do Not Duplicate 30 �, <br />
