| BACKGROUND: |
Escambia County’s P25 Digital UHF Radio System includes an integrated computer core which can support multiple system users. In 2015, Escambia County entered into an Interlocal Agreement with Santa Rosa County and the City of Pensacola that established a provision to allow these entities’ public safety radio systems to reside on Escambia County’s computer core in exchange for annual radio core maintenance cost.
On this agenda is an item which will have Escambia County execute a System Upgrade Agreement (SUA) with Motorola Solutions, Inc., which provides planned lifecycle upgrades over a 10-year term, if approved by the Escambia County Board of County Commissioners (BCC). This proposed Interlocal Agreement amends and restates the original Agreement and extends cost sharing to the radio core portion of the SUA.
In exchange for the use of Escambia County’s P25 master core and existing user configuration server (UCS), Santa Rosa and the City of Pensacola will pay Escambia County a proportionate share of the annual maintenance and SUA cost associated with the P25 master core as determined by the number of registered radio subscribers using the core. Santa Rosa County agrees to pay an annual service fee of $118,717.42, which is equal to 31% of the annual recurring maintenance and system upgrade fees. The City of Pensacola agrees to pay an annual service fee of $53,614.31, which is equal to 14% of the annual recurring maintenance and system upgrade fees. Each party’s proportionate share will be subject to review every three years, and the annual service fees may be adjusted by written amendment to this Interlocal Agreement. Payment will be due on or before October 31st of each year. This Interlocal Agreement allows each party to provide rack and antenna mounting space at their respective tower sites upon receiving written approval from the host agency’s Communications representative. This Interlocal Agreement will:
- Provide $172,331.73 in annual revenue to Escambia County,
- Provide radio interoperability for Escambia County, Santa Rosa County, and City of Pensacola during mutual aid events, and
- Provide rack and antenna mounting space to increase area wide coverage and interoperability.
