BACKGROUND On June 4, 2001, the City Council authorized the City Manager to execute a Joint Funding Agreement (JFA) with other Santa Clara County cities for consulting services to solve radio and data interoperability issues between public safety agencies (CMR 245:1, Attachment B). Like many jurisdictions across the nation, Santg Clara County public safety agencies are experiencing a number of performance issues associated with the inefficient and tintimely exchange of information, a lack of inter-agency field communication, and unnecessarily long call processing times. These limitations severely impact the delivery of timely and quality law enforcement, fire and emergency medical services. As part of developing of an implementation strategy for the project, the network participants hired William L. Doolittle and Associates. Upon receipt of the first maj or project deliverable in late July 2001, it became evident the consultant would not be able to meet the objectives set forth in the professional services agreement and that it lacked the level of expertise necessary to complete the scope of work for the project. After repeated attempts to improve the quality of the work CMR: 191:02 Page I of 4 ¯product, the Communications Steering Committee, on behalf of the network participants, terminated the agreement with Doolittle & Associates. In the meantime, the Steering Committee became aware of new emergent technology: a "black box" hardware solution that was being used by the U.S. military and federal law enforcement agencies (Secret Service, NSA and FBI) to assist with radio interoperability. The hardware is just now being marketed as an interoperability solution to local public safety agencies. Project Staff are currently evaluating the feasibility of using this technology to solve local interoperability issues and identify any technical issues this type of technology might have. In November 2001, the Communication Steering Committee (the oversight committee for the project) received authorization to proceed with the project using in-house staff from the participating agencies. It seemed clear that, given the expertise within local jurisdictions to analyze and design the system, and the apparent availability of this new hardware, the use of available funds was better spent on. solving the problem as opposed to hiring another consultant to design the system. DISCUSSION The amended JFA provides the flexibility needed to research new technology, analyze the various alternatives for both the radio and data interoperability network and, as appropriate, implement the solutions. For the radio portion of the project, the amended agreement provides the Communications Steering Committee with the authority to purchase equipment and utilize the services of an outside contractor to install the equipment. Individual agency radio technicians can complete some of the radio infrastructure work on the hardware purchased as part of the project; modifications or enhancements needed to op.timize system coverage and installation services can be obtained from an outside contractor. The other portion of the project includes the development of a data network that would allow interoperability between public safety dispatch centers and field personnel throughout the county. Data sharing has become an even more important priority for public safety and justice agencies since the events of September 11. Although current technical staff has the expertise to work through issues for the data network, the amended JFA provides the Steering Committee with the authority to hire outside professionals to assist in finalizing the network design should it become necessary. CMR: 191:02 Page 2 of 4 Along with periodic project updates to County Police and Fire and the County/Cities Managers’ Association, the network participants will be provided with an implementation strategy that clearly delineates the equipment which will be purchased, deployment and installation strategies and a final project timetable. RESOURCE IMPACT Each participating jurisdiction made an equal contribution of $19,500. Of the $371,000 accumulated for the project, approximately $70,000 was paid to Doolittle & Associates for its work on the project (in accordance with the contract), leaving a balance of $300,000. Remaining funds will be used to purchase equipment. In addition, the Communications Steering Committee is working with the Department of Justice and other state and federal agencies to seek alternative funding should it be required for the full implementation of this project. No additional appropriation of monies by the City Council is required at this time. POLICY IMPLICATIONS This agreement is Consistent with existing City policy. TIMELINE The timeline to complete the first phase of this project remains on schedule and should be completed by January 2003. ENVIRONMENTAL REQUIRED Any environmental impact under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) will be determined in subsequent phases of the project.

PUBLIC SAFETY DATA COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK PROJECT REPORT IN BRIEF Public safety agencies in Santa Clara County have been confronted.with a number of performance issues that impact the delivery of timely and quality law enforcement, fire and emergency medical services throughout the County. In 1998, at the direction of the City Managers Association, leaders throughout the County began efforts to solve these problems. This report provides the Council with information on the countywide effort and details the scope of work being rendered under a professional services contract. Staff is recommending that Council approve the Joint Funding Agreement developed to establish the funding criterion for this project. CMR:245:01 Page 1 of 5 RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Council authorize the City Manager to execute a Joint Funding Agreement with other Santa Clara County cities to fund a professional services contract with William L. Doolittle & Associates for the purpose of establishing a Radio Interoperability and Public Safety Data Communications network at a cost to the City of $19,500. BACKGROUND Public safety agencies in Santa Clara County have been confronted with a number. of performance issues over the past few years associated with the inefficient and untimely exchange of information, a lack of inter-agency field communication, and unnecessarily long-call processing times. These limitatio.ns severely impact the delivery of timely and quality law enforcement, fire and emergency medical services throughout the County. In 1998, at the direction of the Santa Clara C0unty/Cities Managers’ Association, the Santa Clara County PoliceChiefs, Fire Chiefs and Communications Managers formed two working groups to study interoperability issues for two projects: voice radio and data communications. The working groups include representatives from law enforcement and fire agencies from Palo Alto, Mountain View, Sunnyvale, Santa Clara, County of Santa Clara, Campbell, Morgan Hill, Milpitas, Gilroy, Los Gatos, Monte Sereno, Los. Altos, Los Altos Hills, San Jose, Saratoga, San Jose State University, South Santa Clara County Fire District and the Santa Clara Valley Water District. The City of Palo Alto is taking a leadership role, by serving as Director for the project. The working groups identified a number of potential solutions that could assist a single agency, or agencies that bordered each ottier, but none of the solutions provided for a comprehensive approach that could meet the collective need to share information and communicate with each other, regardless of jurisdictional boundary. In June 2000, the City of Mountain View issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) on behalf of the participating agencies soliciting professional services for the Public Safety Data Communications Network portion of the project. This network would "virtually" link all the public safety agencies in the County and provide the capability for information exchange and dispatch monitoring capability. Nine (9) proposals were received and range, d in cost from $250,000 to $1.3 million. After careful screening and very detailed presentations by the three finalists, William L. Doolittle & Associates, Inc., was selected for the project. CMR:245:01 Page 2 of 5 In October 2000, the Radio Inter0perability Work Group completed its conceptual design for a system that would patch radio equipment between agency dispatch centers and enhance radio communication. The final design connected audio from any radio channel or frequency to other agencies via high-speed phone lines and data connectors and allowed field Users to communicate without requiring them to change radio channels in the field during an emergency incident. It was at this time the discovery was made that the conceptual design for the proposed voice network could also serve as a data network. Discussions ..,,,ere held.with William Doolittle & Associates and the Managers Association regarding the efficiencies and economies of integrating both projects. The decision to merge these two projects and form a single Radio Interoperability/ Public Safety Data. communications project was approved by the Managers Association. A Communications Steering Committee was established to serve as an oversight committee for the project. A copy of the organizational structure for the project is provided in Attachment A. DISCUSSION Participation on the Radio Interoperability/Public Safety Data Communications Network Project serves a great benefit to the City of Palo Alto. By partnering with other local municipalities, Palo Alto’s Police and Fire Departments will reap the benefit of information gained through this project and minimize the financial impact on the City budget. Ensuring that Palo Alto Police and Fire personnel can seamlessly communicate in the field during an emergency, without interruption and regardless of jurisdiction, has a profound public safety benefit. Any delay or interruption of critical field communication can have serious consequences. Communications problems associated with such high profile disasters as the Oklahoma bombing and the Columbine School incident has brought this issue to the forefront of public safety on the national level. These examples illustrated the problems associated with numerous agencies being unable to easily communicate with each other during response and aftermath. To facilitate the funding of this project, a Joint Funding Agreement (JFA) was drafted to outline the terms and conditions for the partnership of the Nineteen (19) Participating Agencies (Attachment B). Each participant, regardless of jurisdiction size, is funding an equal portion of the cost for this project. In addition, a negotiation with William L. Doolittle & Associates was conducted and CMR:245:01 Page 3 of 5 a Professional Services Agreement (PSA) was completed. A copy of the PSA and Scope of Work for the Project is provided in Attachment C. These agreements (professional services and JFA). cover the first two phases of this project. During Phase I of the project, Doolittle & Associates will collect information on existing public safety systems (hardware and software), mutual or automatic aid agreements between jurisdictions, current, and future .technology projects and other relevant data from each of the participating agencies. Using information gathered in Phase I, Phase II will provide recommended solutions for solving the Radio Interoperability and Data Communications Network issues. At the end of Phase II, Doolittle & Associates will provide each of the participating agencies with a final report detailing the recommended alternatives. A "cafeteria sty!e" approach has been requested which will provide options that best meet the needs of individual, jurisdictions and the collective group of public safety organizations as a whole. After review of the Phase II final report, decisions .can be made regarding the funding and implementation of Phase III of this project. Phase III will cover the purchase and installation of the network by individual agencies and/or collectively as part of participating agencies.-If a decision were made to move forward collectively, additional professional services agreements and a more formalized Joint Powers Authority (JPA) would be required. RESOURCE IMPACT The total cost of Phase I and Phase II of the Radio Interoperability and Public Safety Data Communications Network project is $370,490. As an equal partner in the JFA, Palo Alto’s share of the $370,490 project cost is $19,500. Funding for. this project is provided in the Police Department’s Fiscal Year 2000-01 operating budget. No additional appropriation of monies by the City Council is required at this time. POLICY IMPLICATIONS This agreement is consistent with existing City policy. TIMELINE The timeline to complete Phase I and Phase II of this project is approximately 57 weeks.

Attachment A - Professional Services Agreement 26 April 2001 PHASE H - DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS AND IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY During this Phase, we would complete the specifications necessary to initiate a vendor selection process for the, selected integration approach. In addition to developing a t~equest For Proposal with detailed network specifications, this Phase would also provide an implementation strategy for the participating public safety agencies. We would also assist in the identification and assessment of. alternative funding sources for the project. Deliverables .fi:om this phase include proposals for continued consulting assistance to the project. Task 19. Develop Detailed Network Specifications- During. this task, we would prepare detailed network specifications for incorporation in the Public Safety Data Communications Network t~equest For Proposal. These specifications would be in sufficient detail to allow vendors to propose the necessary tasks and scope of v~ork to complete the desired level of integration. Where possible, we would leverage existing technical standards as selected by the Task Force. The specifications would be provided in functional groupings, identifying common infi:astructure and application platforms, as well as individual agency ’point of interface’ details. We would also leverage the fact- finding and system descriptions obtained in Phase I. Deliverables: 46. Detailed Network Design Specifications Task 20. Develop Implementation Strategy - During this task, we iwouldidentify the high=level action items required to support the desired system integration and countywide data communications network Capabilities. We would include the timing for implementation of technical support infrastructure, staffing requirements, anticipated expenditures, and level of effort required to execute the implementation timeline identified in Phase.I. We would provide a draft Project Management Plan to support the effective management and accountability of the project as it proceeds. This Plan would outline the roles and responsibilities of the project team members and identify a recommended project reporting methodology for the project. It would incorporate generally accepted practices for project management reviews supporting the effective monitoring and follow-up of project tasks and vendor Agreement management. We would also develop guidelines for the Agreement negotiations with potential vendors and service providers, These negotiation guidelines would include a description of the forum for negotiations, identification of key Agreement terms and conditions, .and the probable context of information sharing between vendors, such as non-disclosure requirements for proprietary information.

Develop Consulting Cost Estimates - In Task 21, we would develop estimates of the level of effort and scope of our cont’.muing assistance to the project. We would deliver our proposal with detailed work plans .and tasks to provide support to the Task Force as the project continues through vendor selection and implementation. This Deliverable. would include our quotation of professional fees and expenses. We would also identify our proposed staffing, provide project team resumes, and describe the roles and responsibilities of our project team members. Deliverables: 50. Proposal for. Continued Assistance Task 22. Identify Alternative Funding Sources - During this task, we would work with the Task Force to identify likely sources of external funding for the Public Safety Data Communications Network and CAD integration project. These alternatives could include grants, state and federal capital funding, or public-private investments. Ata minimum, we would consider the National Institute of Justice and federal Department of Justice grant programs. We would provide an .overview of the various program requirements and ma assessment of potential ’degree of fit’ with each program’s goals and objectives. We would become familiar with the proposal requirements for the funding sources, and identify the information required to submit a grant proposal. We would also ¯ provide our recommendations regarding the scope of may potential grant proposal, such as a pilot project or prototype. Deliverables: 51. Profile of Alternative Funding Sources Task 23. Prepare and Present Phase H Report - During this task, we would develop a comprehensive report of our findings and recommendations for Phase II. We would include an Executive Summary, written in layman’s terms encapsulating the work accomplished .in Phase II. We would initially provide this report to the Task Force for review and comment, then as a final report incorporating the Task Force’s input.
