DISCUSSION: The City of Fort Worth (City) maintains Agreements to provide access to its two-way radio systems by other public safety agencies in North Central Texas. In return for this access, external agencies help offset the City's expenses through the payment of annual fees. In addition, access to the Fort Worth Public Safety Radio System by multiple jurisdictions enhances the ability of emergency responders to communicate with one another when responding to incidents. In October, the City of Arlington (Arlington) approved a Communications System Agreement and a Communications Tower License Agreement to use a portion of the City's digital Public Safety Radio System and to lease space on the City's Rolling Hills Radio Tower. Arlington will provide its own radios and infrastructure to provide coverage for Arlington, but will utilize the City's P25 radio master switch, or core, to run its system. Arlington will also use the City's radio tower to extend its microwave system to Fort Worth. This will allow both jurisdictions to share bandwidth on each other's microwave systems. The addition of Arlington will require no change or expansion to the City's radio system. The Communications System Agreement and Communications Tower License Agreement with Arlington allows the City to invoice Arlington for space on the Rolling Hills Radio Tower as well as Arlington's annual subscriber fee. Annual reimbursement to the City is estimated to be $41,906.40. Form 1295 is not required for this M&C because these contracts will be with a governmental entity, state agency or public institution of higher education: (City of Arlington). FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION: The Financial Management Services Director certifies that the $41,906.40 in annual revenue generated from these Agreements will be included in the upcoming fiscal year's budget and that the Information Technology Services Department is responsible for the collection and deposit of funds. http://apps.cfwnet.org/council_packet/mc review.asp?ID=21865&councildate=1/26/2016[1/25/2016 10:04:01 AM] VI&C Review TO Fund Department Account Project Program Activity Budget Reference# Amount ID ID Year (Chartfield 2) 601051 0046020 1 4404005 !
