The firm must identify the specific statute that authorizes the exemption from the Public Records Law.

Any claim of confidentiality on materials that the firm asserts to be exempt and placed elsewhere in the submittal will be considered waived by the firm upon submission, effective after opening. Please note that the financial statement exemption provided for in Section 119.071(1) c, Florida Statutes only applies to submittals in response to a solicitation for a "public works" project.

This preference includes any county with which the Broward County Board of County Commissioners has entered into an inter-local agreement of reciprocity.

Post Office Boxes are not verifiable and shall not be used for the purpose of establishing a physical address.

State and Local PreferencesIf the solicitation involves a federally funded project where the fund requirements prohibit the use of state and/or local preferences, such preferences contained in the County's Local Preference Ordinance and Procurement Code will not be applied in the procurement process.

EXHIBIT “1” DETAILED SCOPE OF WORK

LOCAL GOVERNMENT UHF TRUNKING RADIO SYSTEM SPECIFICATIONS

GENERAL SYSTEM OVERVIEW

Broward County is soliciting proposals for a digital trunked Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) Radio System. This System shall provide reliable, efficient, radio functionality for Broward County operational groups and shall accommodate Broward County communications requirements between them. Additionally, the proposed digital trunked TDMA Radio System shall provide reliable county wide radio medium building coverage and shall seamlessly interconnect with the City of Sunrise’s existing MOTOTRBO Capacity plus 5 channel (voice and turbo data for AVL purposes) single site located at the County’s Markham Park location. The System will also seamlessly interconnect with the Broward County School Board’s MOTOTRBO Capacity Plus 2-channel system located at the Beacon Tower site in Davie. The selected Proposer shall be responsible for delivery of a complete turn-key digital trunked TDMA Radio System with the features, functions and capabilities described in this solicitation; inclusive of all engineering, equipment, software, software licensing, hardware, installation implementation, integration, configuration, training, maintenance, support services as described herein.

BACKGROUND

During the strategic planning of the public safety radio system it was discovered by Staff that there would be a requirement of a second overlay to accommodate the additional traffic loading from other municipalities joining the County’s regional communications network. Staff then began exploring other options to unload non-public safety traffic to a more cost effective two-way radio communications network that could be leveraged by both County local government users and other municipal local government users. Migrating Local Government onto its own radio communications network will mitigate overload situations on the Public Safety Radio Network.

The proposed Radio System shall be digital, trunked TDMA, and must operate in the UHF 400 MHz band. It will consist of 3 County sites (EMS Tower, Coconut Creek Tower and Pembroke Park Tower) with 6 channels per site. The system must seamlessly integrate with the City of Sunrise existing MOTOTRBO Capacity plus 5 channel (voice and turbo data for AVL) system located at Markham Park Tower Site and the Broward County School Board’s MOTOTRBO Capacity plus 2 channel system located at Beacon Tower site in Davie. It must also interoperate with the existing 800 MHZ Trunked Radio System and future P25 Trunked Radio System. It is expected to have a Digital Audio Quality (DAQ) of a minimum of 3.0 and a reliability of no less than 90% for medium building penetration (using a portable radio). The proposed UHF 400 MHz digital trunked radio system shall permit the radio user to roam across the entire area of coverage without requiring manual switching or changing of site information. The respondent shall provide coverage maps to validate system requirements. The ability to manually switch from site to site shall also be available on all radio types. With the intention that Broward County expects the proposed system to be in service for the next decade, the Respondent shall provide a company statement of expected life of the proposed system along with dates for expected End-of-Service/End-of-Life on any parts or pieces of proposed system.
