INTRODUCTION
Current directives by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) have placed
tighter equipment and spectrum standards on the radio equipment that will be allowed
for use by spectrum users over the next five years through the turn of the century. The
directive is generally referred to as the 'Refarming of the Radio Spectrum.' This
refarming will allow more radio channels within the same radio spectrum and,
consequently, more users. This action will require that the radio equipment be more
stable, and occupy a narrower radio bandwidth. These requirements will force the
replacement of existing equipment and frequencies for todays radio communication
users. Indeed, the requirements by the FCC are driving a major communications
revolution in the public safety and city government services.
The City of San Bernardino currently uses VHF and UHF frequencies for their police,
fire, and local government users. In the very near future, the city will be required to
replace and update its' radio inventory, or migrate to the newer 800 MHz radio channels
that fall outside the FCC's refarming directive. The City of San Bernardino has elected
move its radio services to the 800 MHz radio channels. A prime consideration during
the migration to 800 MHz is the provision for improved communications security,
functionality, and interoperability with the surrounding cities and agencies.
The standard for compatibility in the San Bernardino valley is the Motorola Smartnet IT
trunking environment. This system is in use by the County of San Bernardino, many
agencies as users of the County system, as well as the west San Bernardino valley cities,
WECA, a Joint Powers Authority. The benefits of maintaining absolute compatability
among neighbor agencies are numerous, and the resulting improvement to the public
safety is substantial.
EXHIBIT A: Design & Implementation
Page 1
SECfION I. PROJECf OVERVIEW
The City of San Bernardino is preparing to transition from the use of VHF and UHF
radio frequencies to 800 MHz. The proven performance of the Motorola Smartnet II
trunking system and the compatibility with the agencies surrounding the City of San
Bernardino has driven the decision to implement the new city communications system
as a Smartnet II system.
A group of frequencies that have been licensed by the County of San Bernardino are
candidate frequencies for use by the City. Because these frequencies have been idle for
a long period, and because of the shortage of radio spectrum, the City cannot be assured
that the frequencies are 'interference free.' Consequently, to eliminate the possibility of
constructing a costly radio system on a set of frequencies that may be potentially
unusable, the city has accepted an offer from the County of San Bernardino and
Motorola. The city will work in concert with the County to test and load these
frequencies. The results of the testing will determine whether the frequencies are usable
for public safety purposes. H the frequencies are 'interference free', the City will
ultimately purchase the constructed test system as its' own Smartnet II trunked system.
If, instead, the frequencies are inadequate, the city will migrate to 800 MHz as a system
user on the County's 800 MHz Valley system.
The city has chosen to implement the transition to 800 MHz as a 'city driven' rather than
a 'vendor driven' project. It is important to note that the County of San Bernardino has
constructed the largest 800 MHz radio system in the United States today. The
considerable expertise and resources available from the County of San Bernardino's 800
MHz project and management group will allow the City to build a radio system that will
not require the extensive costs typical of vendor-driven projects. Consequently, project
management and engineering costs can be kept to a minimum. Specifically, the City will
direct the vendor to provide only those engineering and implementation services that
are required to implement and cutover the existing VHF /UHF radio system to 800 MHz.
EXHIBIT A: Design & Implementation

SECfION II. NEW 800 MHz RADIO SYSTEM
A. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The new 800 MHz radio system will service the communications needs of the police, fire,
and (in the future) the local government users. All city radios will be programmed with
mutually agreed talk-group combinations, allowing the controlled separation of users
based upon communications needs. The older VHF and UHF frequencies will be
replaced with a trunked system of radio transmitters allowing more effecient user of
radio spectrum, and reduced channel congestion.
The city 800 MHz radio system will consist of:
a trunked radio system,
a city dispatch infrastructure, and
a city owned inventory of portable and mobile radios.
The trunked radio system will be either city-owned, or contracted by Use Agreement
from the County of San Bernardino. The actual configuration will be determined after
extensive testing of a ten-channel trunked system that is currently being constructed at
the Little Sunset radio site. This testing is part of the Phase-one portion of the city's
migration to 800 MHz. If the tests realize a set of useable frequencies for the trunked
system that are free from radio interference, the city will purchase the system. If,
instead, it is determined that the frequencies are not useable, the city will contract
services on the County 800 MHz system.
The city dispatch infrastructure will consist of the city's dispatch center, currently located
in the basement of the City Hall, as well as the backbone electronic support equipment
located in the basement and the penthouse of the City Hall. The second phase of the
city's radio restructuring will include the updating of the dispatch center to support the
800 MHz trunked backbone. This will encompass the relocation of the dispatch support
equipment to the penthouse, thereby providing for a secure and centralized electronics
backroom. Because of the anticipated relocation of the police and fire dispatch centers
in the near future, this centralization will allow the police and fire dispatch centers to
move with minimum inconvenience, and maximum system stability and security.
EXHIBIT A: Design & Implementation
Page 3
The city owned inventory of portable and mobile radios will provide 800 MHz service
for the police and fire agencies. The portable radios were purchased during the third
quarter of 1993. The mobile radios will be purchased during the last quarter of 1993, as
part of the Phase-one portion of the migration.
The new communications system will have allowed the city to migrate from the older
VHF and UHF radio channels to a trunked 800 MHz radio system, with the retention of
a couple of the VHF and UHF radio channels in order to maintain compatibility for state
wide communications, as well as the original local government radio channel. The
migration of the local government communications to 800 MHz is not scheduled for a
couple of years, but the basic infrastructure will be firmly inplace at the time of
transition.
B. SYSTEM IMPLEMENTATION
The City will be using a three-phase approach to stage and construct the City's new
communication system:
PHASE ONE
The first phase of the 800 MHz police and fire radio project will include the purchase,
programming, and installation of mobiles for the City's fire and police departments; as
well as a commitment to the County by the City to operate a limited number of City
radios, as a county user, on the County 800 MHz system for a minimum of three months
to allow for interference testing on Little Sunset, coverage testing and comparison of the
valley system with Little Sunset, and the migration of the City dispatch center to 800
MHz.
The implementation of the Little Sunset trunking system by the County of San
Bernardino 800 MHz group, with the cooperative assistance of Motorola for the purpose
of testing the proposed 800 MHz channels for their suitability as 'public safety quality'
communications frequencies will proceed in parallel with Phase I, and should be
considered as part of Phase I.
The preparation and design of the City's dispatch facility will proceed in parallel with
Phase I.
EXHIBIT A: Design & Implementation
Page 4
Several issues were considered during the concept stage of the dispatch center:
The police department is expected to move its' dispatch center to the new
police facility in the near future, and vacating the city hall dispatch center.
The fire department is expected to relocate its' dispatch center at the end
of the next twenty-four months.
The Emergency Operations Center may be move to new quarters.
The relocation of the dispatch facilities in the city hall basement would
leave the electronics backroom equipment in an unsecured location.
Relocation of the dispatch electronics backroom from the city hall basement
to the city hall penthouse will provide for increase security, as well as
conditioned environmental and electrical space.
A major earthquake or water spill would render the city hall basement
unusable.
The final design of the dispatch center will result in an order for equipment and services
from Motorola to implement and cutover the dispatch center to provide for
interoperability with the County 800 MHz radio system, as well as full operation of the
City's 800 MHz radio system. The determination of whether the City will operate its'
800 MHz radio system as part of the County 800 MHz backbone or as a Oty-owned
trunking facility at Little Sunset will be determined based on the results of the
interference testing of the frequencies at Little Sunset.
Tasks:
Construct & stage 10 channel Trunk system for Installation
Installation of trunk system at Little Sunset
Installation of System Watch at County 800 System Management
Place order for City mobile units
Coordinate design and cutover plans for city dispatch
PHASE TWO
The second phase of the City's 800 MHz migration plan will constitute the
implementation and cutover of the City dispatch facility. The final configuration having
been determined by the results of the interference testing.
Tasks:
Deliver design and cutover specifications to Motorola engineering
Secure bid from vendor for installation and project management
EXHIBIT A: Design & Implementation
Page 5
Place order for dispatch facility hardware and implementation
Secure temporary dispatch equipment for cutover transition
PHASE THREE
The third and last phase of the City's 800 migration plan will include the purchase of
all final equipment to implement the migration. If the interference testing is able to
identify that the selected frequencies at Little Sunset are suitable, the City will purchase
the radio system from Motorola. If, on the other hand, the interference testing results
in an unusable system for public safety purposes, the City will finalize negotiations with
the County to operate as a user on the County 800 MHz radio system. The test system
at Little Sunset will then be reconfigured by the County for non public safety uses, i.e.
local government and support services.
Tasks:
a)
b)
Complete review of testing data of trunk system frequencies to determine
of city purchase of trunk system is warranted.
If city purchase
Have Motorola prepare equipment list and agreement for
purchase of trunk system for sity use
. Coordinate microwave purchase of city microwave between city
and little mountain.
. Arrange for annual site space lease at Sunset by city.
Else
Complete dispatch transition plans, and confirm agreement for city
mobile users on County system.

Re: 800 MHz Voice System
Dear Ms. Ingels,
I am pleased to respond to your request for quotation for project management
services for the City of San Bemardino's pending 800 MHz trunked voice radio project.
Our rate for project engineering, management, and coordination is one-hundred dollars
per hour ($100/hr), with travel time billed at half rate plus mileage expenses.
My estimate of the first phase of the project is sixty days, which will allow sufficient
time for County construction of the Uttle Sunset site, and thirty days for frequency
testing. Dispatch center design and vendor coordination should require and additional
sixty days. Implementation of the dispatch center, testing and cutover should require
forty-five days. The final phase will depend on the testing results. However, I am
confident that the entire project should not exceed six months.
Our quotation for this project is on a not-to-exceed basis of $20,000. All billings
would be based on actual billable hours and expenses.
I have included a Company Profile. If you have any additional questions, please do
not hesitate to call.
