Wicomico County is strongly supportive of the Project 25 platform for the implementation of public safety communications in the United States. The County also believes that it is in their best interest and the interest of its citizens that the implementation of the new radio system be a P25 Phase II (6.25 kHz channels) system.
The County’s preliminary design indicated that the system will require a minimum of six (6) towers across the County (currently three towers).
The existing Naylor Mill towers are at 411 W Naylor Mill Rd, Salisbury, MD 21801. Based upon the structural analysis report noted in Section 4.4, Wicomico County will require the removal of both existing towers, replacing them with a new single tower (the County’s preference).
Wicomico County is committed to provide comprehensive in-building coverage in the City of Salisbury (see Section XIV). Preliminary designs indicate that the new radio system will require at least one (1) new tower site to be located within the city limits.
Wicomico County currently does not have AVL deployed for its fleet. However, the City of Salisbury FD does have AVL operational on its vehicles, which is provided through a city contract. Wicomico County is seeking an AVL deployment for its fleet.
It won't be on FiRST...Wicomico County determined in its Evaluation of Upgrade Options for the Public Safety Trunked Radio System(s), that is was in the best interest of the County and its residents not to rely upon Maryland FiRST as its sole or primary communications system for the next fifteen (15) years.
However, Wicomico County does view Maryland FiRST as an integral part of the County’s future public safety communications system. Wicomico County is currently negotiating an MOU with Maryland FiRST concerning the role it will play in the new Wicomico County radio system.
Wicomico County is committed to working with Maryland FiRST to ensure its success.
And this was interesting note in the RFP:However, Wicomico County does view Maryland FiRST as an integral part of the County’s future public safety communications system. Wicomico County is currently negotiating an MOU with Maryland FiRST concerning the role it will play in the new Wicomico County radio system.
Wicomico County is committed to working with Maryland FiRST to ensure its success.
The County is also aware that the towers currently being used for Maryland FiRST, and other State of Maryland functions, are not ANSI/TIA 222 Rev. G Class III rated.
I guess Hogan will eventually be asked to spend even more money on FiRST....
