VRP Newsletter - March 2013


Director Ed Atkins welcomed all to the first face-toface meeting for the Voice Radio Project. The meeting was held at the Public Safety Training Campus with all responder agencies represented.

John Struhar, Project Manager, Harris Corporation, presented the status of the Project. Tower site surveys have been done in the last month. The surveys included space on the towers as well as space in the tower shelters. Some sites were OK and others will need to be modified. Final report on the surveys is due in about 3 weeks Ed Toner, FOP representative, inquired about how long we are asking to be on the towers. Levin Czubaroff, attorney with Fox Rothschild LLP advised that each tower site agreement is
for 20 years with options to renew the agreement up to 29 years.

A detailed schedule, diagrams, site drawings, microwave channel plans, system configuration for each site and a list of equipment needed at each site will be presented at the Preliminary Design Review (PDR) scheduled for April 25 and 26.
