1. OVERVIEW

The Department intends to purchase contracted service from a vendor providing microwave connectivity between its

communication towers as set forth in Exhibit 1. This purchase shall not include payment for equipment or materials. The

vendor shall provide the connectivity with its own equipment and the service provided shall meet the requirements set

forth in this document below.

2. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

The technical specifications address microwave connectivity between tower sites and State Regional Communications

Centers (RCCs), all as described in Exhibit 1 – “Microwave Connectivity.” The technical specifications only apply to the

mutual aid channels described in Exhibit 2 – “Mutual Aid Channels.”

All radio or network equipment is currently at sites utilized for the Statewide Law Enforcement Radio System (SLERS).

Shared resources exist that shall be accounted for at any new site (e.g., cabling, punch blocks, rack space, conduit, radio

gateways, etc.).

2.1. Existing Microwave Transport

Microwave transport shall be provided for the number of circuits shown in Exhibit 1 for transporting voice traffic of each

mutual aid radio channel shown in Exhibit 2.

2.2. New Microwave Transport

Additional microwave transport shall be provided upon request and implemented within 45 days of receipt of purchase

order.

2.3. Circuit Requirements

Each circuit shall provide the equivalent of 4-wire control, tone-remote, radio-control line. At the tower site, each circuit

shall be connected to a MASTR III radio base station and meet or exceed the control line requirements for both transmit

and receive. At the State RCC, each circuit shall be connected to a radio gateway unit (R-GU) of the Florida Interoperability

Network (FIN) and meet or exceed the control line requirements for both transmit and receive.

MASTR III control line requirements can be found at:

http://pspc.harris.com/media/ECR-5778W_tcm42-13586.pdf

FIN R-GU control line requirements are in Exhibit 3 – “R-GU Control Line Specifications.”

Control line settings shall be adjustable within the range of the aforementioned equipment; but, are typically set as

follows:

600 Ω, input and output

0 dBm, output voltage from equipment

-16 dBm, input voltage to equipment

2.4. Path Reliability and System Uptime

Microwave transport path reliability shall be 99.999%. Antenna space diversity will be accepted to achieve this reliability.

To avoid unplanned outages, system uptime for all microwave equipment shall be 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days

a year, or subject to Section 2.9 for maintenance and repairs.

2.5. Planned Outages

Planned outages shall be consistent with the procedures practiced for microwave transport on the Statewide Law

Enforcement Radio System (SLERS).

2.6. A.C. Power

Microwave equipment shall be provided A.C. power, which includes on the following:

Generator with a minimum seven days fuel capacity under full load of the facility, and automatic transfer switch

(ATS)

Uninterruptable power supply (UPS) between ATS and microwave equipment

2.7. Troubleshooting Outages

Service Provider shall cooperate and participate with the Department (or its delegate) as requested for troubleshooting

outages to determine cause of outage when not readily evident to be the equipment, Telco, control point, or other causes.

2.7.1. Demarcation Point

In the event troubleshooting outages becomes indecisive on the cause of the outage between the R-GU and the microwave

transport, Harris shall authorize the Service Provider to establish a punch block in the cabling local to the R-GU in order

for the Service Provider and the Department (or its delegate) to separate the circuit from the R-GU to isolate the

troubleshooting effort. The cabling for all microwave transport circuits shall be relocated through the punch block within

the same costs for the circuits.

2.8. Maintenance Personnel and Test Equipment

Service Provider shall supply all supervision, labor, service facilities, repair parts, test equipment, and supplies necessary

to maintain and repair the microwave transport.

2.9. Maintenance and Repairs

the location of the failed equipment within two hours after receipt by Service Provider of the Department request for

emergency service. No fixed equipment shall be out of service in excess of six hours after the receipt by Service Provider

of the Department request for emergency service if the equipment failure results in the inability of mobile radio units

using the equipment to communicate with each other or with a dispatch center.
