c.dgtR Santa Ana Police Department 0�` SPA Phase 111 one Mission. Yours. GTSI-11-13308 0.0 Offered below are several examples where Technical Engineering support could provide valuable assistance to organizations within the SPA. Within the Engineering tasks, the GTSI Team understands that the verification of the upgrade capability of existing equipment can be a difficult process and the ability to speak directly with the engineering community of a specific vendor's company can be valuable. Additionally, in some instances, a suitable work around can be discovered that can save potential dollars. By providing assistance in analyzing base -line system performance, the organization planning the narrowbanding will have established a firm base -line for comparison after narrowbanding is completed. The base -lining of the current system performance is critical for all who plan to narrowband. By analyzing new system performance against the original baseline information the new system performance measurements and any deficiencies are identified sooner rather than later. This is important because faulty performance parameters are uncovered before system commissioning and before any events are triggered that require the use of the system. This is especially important should there be a large scale incident and the new system does not perform as required. With proper system analysis, this situation can be avoided. A review of FCC license information is another critical and often complex activity that is required with any narrowbanding project. FCC license information can often be misinterpreted and the GTSI Team would assist the Operational Areas with review of the modification requests that will need to be carried out on all FCC licenses requiring narrowbanding. However, it is extremely important to modify only those radio channels that will be narrowbanded. In the past the GTSI Team has experienced situations where multiple channels on an FCC license also include wide -band channels that will not need modification, but the licensee is not aware that requesting a narrowbanding modification on "the license" affects all channels listed on the license, this pitfall needs to be avoided and is the reason why this task is included within this proposal. A useful and necessary task within the narrowbanding activities is the ability to produce accurate single site references for radio signal propagation. Within the engineering tasks it is therefore recommended within this SOW that support be offered to run propagation analysis for single site reference. This capability is extended because the tool that is used by the GTSI Team is state-of- the-art and vastly surpasses in quality any propagation tool that is typically available in the market place. The only propagation analysis that provides higher confidence levels are tools used by the manufactures of LMR systems themselves. Within the area of Project Support three services are offered, again, all critical to the successful implementation of a narrowbanding project. • First is the assistance with review of the narrowbanding plan. This plan as mentioned earlier can impact a significant region of the SPA and should be carefully coordinated with other agencies impacted by the narrowbanding. With the ability of the GTSI Team to supply this support, we maintain a "high-level" view of narrowbanding and can quickly identify risks for project overlap or significant gaps. -15- GTSI Confidential and Proprietary.
