Such a system will provide the capacity, coverage, reliability, and advanced <br />technology features to meet both the present and the future needs of the County and its <br />communities well into the 21S` Century. <br />We recognize that there are many factors involved in these decisions which are not <br />technical in nature, such as budgets, procurement regulations and funding availability, <br />that are beyond the scope of this study. What we do recommend, however, is that <br />regardless of which option is chosen, awell-defined Specification be developed that <br />includes minimum requirements for reliability, dependability, functionality and <br />maintainability. This should include performance objectives for functionality, <br />interference protection, radio coverage, as well as requirements for an Acceptance Test <br />Plan to insure that the selected vendor meets the system objectives, and that the system <br />meets the County's needs. <br />,~~„~" executive Snmmarl~ <br />~~ V I <br />~.. <br />COR~MUP~IICATIONS <br />
