2. Public Safety Radio Modernization Assessment: Vision
The existing LMR architecture is decades old and in dire needs of a comprehensive upgrade.
In conjunction with the build out of SIRCITS and narrow banding, this is an ideal time to pursue a comprehensive LMR modernization to provide operability and interoperability to meet local, state, federal needs and requirements.

3. Strategic Planning
It is expected that modernization of the LMR network will require a capital appropriation in the future. In advance of any appropriation, the following planning phases need to be conducted:
An Assessment Phase:
Gap analysis and capability assessment of current system including coverage, resiliency, meeting public safety business or user requirements
Analysis of repeater architecture in light of newer technologies available
Spectrum use, allocation and assignment

4. Planning
The final report is expected to provide necessary information and options to be considered before proceeding with future phases, an appropriation request, design/additional planning and implementation.

5. This request:
Release of $50K to secure professional services to assist with preparation of RFP (content) and work plan for a comprehensive assessment, gap analysis, recommendations/options and strategic plan for modernization of the LMR system.
