Agenda 06/10/2014 Item #16E10 6/10/2014 16.E.10. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Recommendation to proceed with planning, design, and 'construction of an additional site for the 800 MHz public safety radio system in North Naples and to approve a tower lease agreement(annual cost$39,000)to provide ground and tower space for the site(Project cost,$675,000). OBJECTIVE: To improve communication capabilities for public safety responders operating in the North Naples area utilizing funds from the 800 MHz system upgrade project budget. CONSIDERATION: On October 26, 1994, the Board of County Commissioners approved competitively solicited contract #94-2201 with Ericsson Inc., now Harris Corporation (Harris), for the purchase and implementation of the 800 MHz Public Safety Radio System. System reliability and performance have been achieved over the years through an aggressive system maintenance program, periodic technology updates and addition of tower sites to improve coverage necessary to meet the operational requirements of system users. The Collier County Sheriff's Office and the North Naples Fire District have identified areas north of Immokalee Road between the gulf and Interstate 75 where portable radios experience difficulty accessing the radio system. The proposed site will provide improved portable radio coverage, reliability and safety for public safety responders using the County's legacy radio system. For public safety reasons, staff recommends proceeding with the project prior to the 800 MHz radio system upgrade. When P25 radio system technology is implemented, regardless of methodology,utilization of this site will be critical to meet public safety operational requirements in this area and it will be capable of supporting next generation technology. Staff only identified two potential sites to serve this area and found the Super Towers location to be the most desirable based on technical and operational factors. Not including lease costs, the total project will not exceed$675,000.The key components of the project include: • Lease agreement with Super Towers Inc. to provide ground space for County equipment and tower space for antennas and other equipment. The first year cost for the lease is $39,000, $3,250 monthly, with an annual escalator of 2.5%. The lease agreement has been reviewed and approved by the County Attorney. • $60,000 for design services and construction documents utilizing an engineering firm under fixed term contract 13-6164"Engineering and Architectural Services." • $300,000 for site costs including site preparation, a modular equipment shelter, foundation, electrical systems, grounding, and power support systems. These assets will be utilized in the P25 system regardless of implementation methodology. $315,000 for project management, installation, and radio system technology provided by Communications International as a Board approved sole source provider for the radio system: o $30,900 for antenna systems(radio and microwave systems) o $81,121 for a digital microwave radio link for connectivity to the radio system o $127,581 for legacy radio system equipment o $73,194 installation,site development,project management Packet Page-1816- 6/10/2014 16.E.10. FISCAL IMPACT: The total project cost is $714,000: $675,000 for site design, equipment and implementation and $39,000 for the first year lease payments. Funds are available in the FY 14 radio system upgrade project 301-140482. Staff recommends that the first year's lease costs be funded by the project budget. GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no growth management impact. LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been reviewed by the County Attorney, is approved as to form and legality,and requires majority vote for approval. -JAK RECOMMENDATION: That the Board approves implementation of the proposed tower site as described in the considerations and authorizes the Chairman to sign the tower lease agreement with Super Towers Inc.

Recognizing that this process will take some time. the Collier County Sheriff's Office (CCSO)supports interim measures to enhance radio reception in the areas North of Immokalee Road to the Gulf to the 175-Corridor, particularly for portable radios attempting to use the system. CCSO radio users have filed numerous reports for poor radio reception in the areas listed above and your office has determined that the North Naples site, which supports this critical response area, can be separated out from the total upgrade plan at this time. This would assist in enhancing the portable radio reception and also recognizes the long term value of the site as the County Radio System proceeds with county wide system upgrades in the future. Please accept this letter of support to move forward with the interim plan of improving portable radio system performance.

The engineer heard the poor portable communications that existed as radio traffic back to the Collier County Dispatch Center was not readable, .-,, and required multiple transmissions. At one point during the call sequence, dispatch advised that the transmission was not readable. The aforementioned sequence of events is not a first;rather, it has become the norm in said areas with respect to radio transmissions. The need for a permanent site is imperative for crew safety and for the residents of Collier County during an emergency situation. The advantage of providing a site not only improves emergency responder and dispatch communications,but this site becomes the development of a full site when the P25 digital technology project comes to fruition. The need for a permanent site is long overdue,and this Office is committed to ensure proper communications are available for our personnel. We look forward to working with you on this important and life-saving project,and, ask for your support on June 10, 2014 with Consent Agenda Item 16E11.
