RFP No. R1422515P1 Public Safety Radio APCO Project 25 700MHz Communications System
Vendor Demonstration Fact Finding Report Introduction ___________________________________________________________________________ On September 30, 2016, the Evaluation Committee deemed Harris Corporation to be both responsive and responsible for the Public Safety Radio APCO Project 25 700MHz Communications System, RFP R1422515P1. Harris Corporation was invited to demonstrate certain requirements related to the RFP scope of services. The demonstration was held on October 17, 2016 at: Coral Gables Public Works Department, 2800 SW 72 Avenue, Miami, FL 33155 and on October 19 – 20 at Harris Corporation, 221 Jefferson Ridge Pkwy, Lynchburg, VA 24501. The meeting was publicly noticed on the Broward County website and opened to the general public to attend. Harris Corporation requested eight (8) hours at the Miami-Dade site and sixteen (16) hours at the Lynchburg site to demonstrate the tasks included in the demonstration script including a question and answer period. Demonstration Description ___________________________________________________________________________ A technical review team (review team) composed of the following members conducted fact-finding of the demonstration: Michael B. Kane, MPA, Battalion Chief, Broward Sheriff Fire Rescue & Emergency Services Communications, Kevin Mitchell, Duty Officer, Broward County Regional Communications, Mike Moser, Division Chief, City of Coral Springs Fire Department, Robert Wehmeyer, Lieutenant, City of Coconut Creek Police Department, Michel Michel, Captain, City of Hallandale Police Department and Lygia Torres, Program Manager, Radio System, Broward County Office of Regional Communications and Technology (ORCAT). Each member of the technical review team was given a checklist to make comments and to indicate whether or not the requirements were demonstrated. Also in attendance were the following: Michael Mullen, Purchasing Agent and Leahann Licata, Senior Purchasing Agent representing Broward County Purchasing Division, along with Jose De Zayas, E911 Communications Administrator – Radio Systems and Elio Crespo, Program Manager – Radio Systems both representing the Broward County ORCAT, and Nick Falgiatore, Technical Consultant, Mission Critical Partners, Inc. The demonstrations covered 160 of the 160 required items in the script previously provided to the vendor.

Summary of Observations ___________________________________________________________________________ The demonstrations were presented by various members of the proposer’s project team. At both demonstration sites representatives were all from Harris Corporation. In Coral Cables personnel from Communications International, Inc. and the City of Coral Gables also participated in the demonstrations. Harris Corporation’s proposed solution is a Project 25 Phase II system operating primarily in the 700 MHz frequency band. Harris has proposed secondary communications systems for backup communications and interoperability purposes. Harris has proposed Nokia (formerly Alcatel Lucent) as the microwave system subcontractor. Communications International (CI) has been identified as the local service provider for system maintenance. A comprehensive demonstration script was developed to validate that the responding vendors could provide the solutions identified in their proposals in a manner compliant with the specifications. The demonstration script was organized according to the functionality of primary system components, which include: Project 25 Compliance, System Administration and Management Systems, System Master Controller, Simulcast Zone/Cell Controllers, ISSI/CSSI, Over-the-air Data Functions, Site Equipment, Dispatch Console System, Audio Logging System, Text Messaging, Console Controlled Telephone Interconnect, Law Enforcement Field Environment (subscriber audio quality), Fire Rescue Field Environment (subscriber audio quality), Microwave System Demonstration Requirements, Tower Requirements, Shelter Requirements, and Site. In total 160 different demonstrations were required within the test script. A demonstration matrix has been attached that summarizes the results of the review team members’ checklists and notes from the demonstration meeting. A portion of the demonstration script included audio intelligibility testing in various noisy environments encountered by public safety personnel in law enforcement and firefighting environments. Harris conducted each test three times. The comments provided by the technical review team are numbered 1, 2, or 3 based on the test the comments pertain to. The first test was conducted with a portable radio without any accessories or specialized software. The second test was conducted with a portable radio without any accessories but with noise cancellation software activated. The third test was conducted with a portable radio using a remote speaker microphone and with noise cancellation software activated. Conclusion ___________________________________________________________________________ The main purpose of the demonstration was for the responsive and responsible vendor, Harris Corporation, to have an opportunity to present their solution and its ability to perform as required by the RFP Scope of Work. The demonstration requirements allowed the review team to evaluate each system capability with a response of “compliant” indicating the capability was demonstrated, “non-compliant” indicating the capability was not demonstrated, or “Document Provided” indicating the solution is capable of meeting the requirement, but not with the live system being utilized for the demonstration. The review team did not find Harris Corporation “non-compliant” in any of the demonstration requirements. Harris Corporation was given the opportunity to provide a supplemental document for each requirement they could not demonstrate in person, but is within the proposed system’s capabilities. The letter attests to Harris’ ability to provide the stated capability, and provides a representative agency utilizing the specific feature. In
Page 3 of 3
some circumstances the review team entered a response of “compliant” in addition to “Document Provided”, resulting in more than 6 responses on several line items. The review team had the opportunity to provide comments to provide additional detail regarding each observed demonstration. The demonstration requirements included a total of 160 capabilities to be evaluated. The demonstration requirements were categorized as follows:
• Project 25 Radio System Demonstration Requirements - Addendum 1 • Subscriber Audio Testing (To be video recorded by Broward County) • Dispatch Console System Demonstration Requirements • Microwave System Demonstration Requirements • Tower Site Construction Demonstration Requirements
There were no demonstration requirements identified that resulted in any team members indicating a response of “non-compliant”. A total of 13 demonstration requirements had at least one member indicate a response of “Document Provided”. These demonstrations include item numbers 30, 37, 44, 45, 46, 50, 107, 120, 142, 146, 147, 148, and 155. Requirements numbered 30, 37, 44, 45, 46, 50, and 107 pertain to interfaces from other manufacturers, such as an Inter-RF Sub System Interface (ISSI) or Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD). Item 120 pertains to a feature that Harris can support, but it has not yet been implemented with a recording manufacturer. Items 142, 146, 147, 148, and 155 pertain to radio shelter components that will be customized for Broward County, and were thus not available on the facilities demonstrated by Harris Based on the responses of the review team, the Harris Project 25 and Nokia microwave solution proposed by Harris Corporation is capable of providing 160 functionalities required in the demonstration requirements, which are intended to be representative of the RFP Scope of Work. There are thirteen requirements (30, 37, 44, 45, 46, 50, 107, 120, 142, 146, 147, 148, and 155) for which Harris has provided documentation indicating their ability to meet the requirements.
