Specifications include, but are not limited to: Appomattox County seeks to replace their legacy UHF analog conventional radio systems. The County requires a single contractor to provide a P25 radio system: infrastructure, dispatch consoles, connectivity network, and subscriber radios necessary to support the new radio system that will provide service throughout the whole County. Appomattox County is in southern Virginia, which boasts an agricultural industry covering 334 square miles including the Towns of Appomattox and Pamplin. The population of Appomattox County is an estimated 16,353. The existing Appomattox County radio systems serve a combined 460 public safety and public service personnel. The current radio systems are nearing end-of-life and no longer provide sufficient coverage or capacity to meet Appomattox County’s needs. The new communications system will be a UHF or 700/800 MHz P25 Phase 2 (TDMA) Trunked Radio System for all public safety and public service radio users within Appomattox County. The successful PROPOSER shall design and install fixed infrastructure equipment that must be maintainable for at least 15 years after Final System Acceptance. The radio system design includes three (3) new dispatch console positions to operate in P25 mode. For the radio system, there should be a public safety grade connectivity network using fiber or microwave equipment, configured in a ring topology or with monitored hot standby (MHSB) equipment for microwave spur links. Appomattox County desires the successful PROPOSER offer maintenance for fifteen (15) years after final acceptance
