of Irving radio system cores, in an amount not to exceed $913,883.00;

DISCUSSION:
The Tarrant County 9-1-1 District Board of Managers on September 21, 2015 approved the Tarrant
County 9-1-1 District Radio Interoperability Assistance Program reimbursing several projects to improve
the capabilities and redundancy of the Public Safety Radio Communications System. These
include: reprogramming of the existing microwave link, installation of a new microwave link to connect the
Fort Worth and Irving cores and the purchase of WAVE technology to allow smart phones to emulate P25
radios. These projects will improve the redundancy of the Public Safety Radio System by allowing failover
of critical components between the City of Fort Worth and City of Irving systems. Additionally,
interoperability and usability will increase by being able to leverage smart phones on the system.
Due to the regional nature of these improvements, Tarrant County 9-1-1 District Board of Managers has
approved fully reimbursing the City of Fort Worth for the projects.
Staff will submit requests for reimbursement as work phases are completed. Staff expects all work to be
fully complete and reimbursed by August 31, 2016.
