Our consultants have <br /> decades of experience assisting our clients with the design and implementation of ECCs, <br /> Emergency Operations Centers (EOCs), and Security Operations Centers (SOCs). <br /> 2.3 Radio Communications Tower Planning, Design, Implementation <br /> FE understands that the County will be implementing four radio communications towers <br /> at four fire stations to provide adequate VIPER coverage within the service area. FE will <br /> assist the County with developing the design specifications for the civil works, tower, <br /> equipment shelter, generator, and compounds. <br /> If necessary, FEwill incorporate the design requirements into technical specifications and <br /> request for proposals (RFP) packages for a competitive procurement. We will then assist <br /> the County with evaluating proposal responses and negotiating the final contract. <br /> 2.4 Backup VHF Radio and Paging System Design and Implementation <br /> The County intends to maintain and enhance their existing VHF radio system for use as <br /> a backup for voice and paging services. FE will assist the County with determining the <br /> optimal configuration for the enhancement and sustainability methods over its expected <br /> Iifecycle. <br /> 2.5 Implementation Project Management Support <br /> Implementation support services take a project from the initiation, planning, and design <br /> review phases through installation, testing, and final cutover. FE will review project <br /> planning before major commitments are made and will provide County management with <br /> the visibility necessary to minimize surprises and create a proactive project management <br /> environment. We will determine if the radio vendor is compliant with the contract regarding <br /> system requirements, schedule, and cost milestones. <br /> Our implementation support tasks will align with the vendor schedules to provide <br /> oversight and management of their specific activities. Upon vendor contract award, FE <br /> will provide an implementation oversight schedule that aligns with the vendor's <br /> implementation schedule. <br /> The following activities are typical of this type of project. FEwill coordinate with the County <br /> to determine which of these tasks will be necessary based on the radio system vendor's <br /> implementation tasks and schedule, and the County's requirements: <br /> Page 2 of 9 <br />
