Specifications include, but are not limited to: The selected vendor will be responsible for conducting a comprehensive evaluation of the RCS and buildings within the cities of Eugene and Springfield equipped with MERRC systems, including but not limited to the following: 1. System Performance Assessment: Conduct a detailed evaluation of the current performance of the RCS and buildings within the cities of Eugene and Springfield equipped with MERRC systems, encompassing coverage, voice clarity, and data transmission reliability. Additionally, the selected vendor shall integrate a robust reporting component to systematically document and present prioritized findings of the assessment. The evaluation will provide a comprehensive analysis of the following key aspects: a) Coverage: Assess the extent and consistency of radio coverage across operational areas, identifying any areas of signal strength variation or potential improvement. b) Voice Clarity: Evaluate the clarity of voice communications facilitated by the RMS, emphasizing the quality and intelligibility of transmissions. c) Data Transmission Reliability: Analyze the reliability of data transmission within the system, ensuring the consistent and secure exchange of critical information. d) Security and Encryption: Review and report on existing RCS and MERRC system security protocols and encryption mechanisms that have been implemented to safeguard sensitive communications. This portion of the assessment should evaluate the strength and effectiveness of the security infrastructure. e) Reporting Component: Develop a structured reporting mechanism to document assessment findings, including graphical representations, performance metrics, and a summary of identified strengths and areas for improvement. This comprehensive evaluation, coupled with a robust reporting component, should not only provide a real-time snapshot of the RCS and individual MERRC system performance but also facilitate clear communication of assessment outcomes and recommendations for improvements. 2. Interoperability Testing: Conduct a thorough examination of the RCS and each MERRC system to assess their compatibility and interoperability with each other and emergency communication systems utilized throughout the region. This testing aims to ensure seamless communication between various interconnected systems. Expand the assessment to encompass the following key components: a) Signal Strength Analysis: Conduct a comprehensive signal strength analysis across vital operational areas, including urban, suburban, and rural environments, ensuring adherence to the specifications outlined in section 510 of the 2022 Oregon Fire Code as amended by the cities of Eugene and Springfield. Measure and analyze the signal strength to determine optimal performance and compliance requirements with regulatory and industry standards...
