The objective of this study is to determine the best way to upgrade our transit communication system to handle our growing needs. The selected firm would provide recommendations on a new radio system that can keep up with our expanding transit service and work reliably during town emergencies. This study should develop a comprehensive project implementation plan that includes two phases: Phase 1: • Provides an evaluation review of the existing wireless communication system and provide any recommended upgrade/ replacement. • Identifies alternative wireless communication technology additions, upgrades, replacements and enhancements to meet CHT’s wireless communication objectives. • Identifies locations for placement of wireless communication infrastructure to minimize dead spots and maximize wireless communications to the CHT service area. • Where feasible, integrates with existing on vehicle technologies and provides inter-operability among other Town departments and neighboring agencies. Phase 2: • Prepare specifications that could be used to purchase new wireless communication technology. • Outline any training and training material needed to operate the new wireless communication system.
