INTENT AND GENERAL INFORMATION

The Town of East Hartford is seeking proposals for professional consulting services to conduct an analysis of its current radio system and to prepare recommendations based on the results of that analysis.

The Town intends to retain a qualified, independent consultant to perform a comprehensive technical and operational assessment of its existing land mobile radio (LMR) system and to evaluate future communications needs for public safety and Town operations.

The Town reserves the right to invite firms for follow‑up interviews in order to make a final selection that it believes will best support its specific goals and requirements.

VENDOR NEUTRALITY AND CONFLICT OF INTEREST (REQUIRED)

The Town of East Hartford intends to retain a consultant that is fully independent and vendor‑neutral. Firms submitting proposals shall not be manufacturers, distributors, resellers, or system integrators of land mobile radio (LMR) equipment, nor derive a material portion of their revenue from the sale or implementation of radio system hardware or software.

Proposers shall disclose any current or past (within the previous three (3) years) business relationships with manufacturers, distributors, or vendors of radio communications equipment or systems, including but not limited to Motorola Solutions, L3Harris, Kenwood, Tait, EF Johnson, or any regional system integrators.

The selected consultant shall not participate in any subsequent procurement for radio system equipment, software, or system integration services resulting from this study.

The Town reserves the right to disqualify any proposer whose relationships or business model create, in the Town’s judgment, a conflict of interest or the appearance of bias.

SCOPE OF SERVICES

The consultant shall determine whether the infrastructure is operating as designed.

The consultant shall also review the existing system radio frequency coverage to assess how well the portable in‑building coverage provided by the existing site system meets user requirements.

Coverage Evaluation Standards

All coverage evaluations shall be conducted in accordance with TIA Telecommunications

Systems Bulletin TSB‑88 (latest revision) or an equivalent nationally recognized public safety radio system modeling standard.

The consultant shall also consider and reference applicable requirements and best practices contained in NFPA 1221, Standard for the Installation, Maintenance, and Use of Emergency

Services Communications Systems, and NFPA 1225, Standard for Emergency Services

Communications, including but not limited to provisions related to coverage reliability, in‑building coverage, survivability, redundancy, dispatch center operations, and system performance criteria.

BACKGROUND

The Town of East Hartford sits adjacent to Hartford, Connecticut, at the intersections of

Interstate 84, State Route 2 and State Route 15 with an area of approximately 18.8 square miles and a population of approximately 51,000. East Hartford operates a 460MHz radio system that provides service to its public safety agencies, public works and Town support agencies.

The public safety agencies include the East Hartford Fire Department, and the East Hartford

Police Department.

Town departments operating on the system include the Department of Public Works, Social

Services, Parks and Recreation Department, Building Department, and Emergency

Management.

Several large buildings in Town may require bi-directional amplifiers (BDAs) to ensure in-building coverage (such as Wayfair and Lowes warehouses and possible new construction) and should be considered in the project. BDAs may need to be purchased by current or future building owners and would be maintained by those owners.

The Town of East Hartford Fire operates approximately 275 Motorola APX portable radios, 13 Motorola APX 8500 & 6500 mobile radios, 6 Kenwood VM8000 mobile radios, and 2

Kenwood VP8000 portables radios as well as Motorola CDM, XTS, & XTL radios. The Board of Education operates approximately 300 Motorola CP100D portable radios and 25

XPR7550E on their own DMR radio system. The Board of Education is also seeking separate proposals for Improving 2-way Radio Communication at East Hartford High School. Contact the East Hartford Board of Education for further details on that separate project.

The current system was purchased in 2003 and became operational in late 2003.

The current system consists of a four-site satellite voting receiver system with a single transmit site at 100 Sunset Ridge Drive. There are currently 7 channels on the system. The system has received several upgrades over the years, including a 7 position Motorola

MCC7500 dispatch console in 2015. The addition of satellite voting receivers for PD1 & Fire

Main as well as Fire-ground channel audio recording at 330 Hills Street, 333 East River

Drive, and 31 School Street linked by microwave in 2014. The Public Safety Complex also houses backup repeaters for Fire Main, Admin, PD1, PD2 & various radios for interop ability.
