The County and engineering
consultants have previously identified an area in the
vicinity of Vint Hill that has poor radio coverage. It has
been determined that the expansion of the radio system to
include a simulcast remote site at Vint Hill will address
this problem. Discussions are proceeding with the Vint Hill
Economic Development Authority to utilize the existing 400
foot tower to enhance radio coverage. As a part of the
project the microwave network to be established from the
Vint Hill site to View Tree will be designed to provide
capacity for data transmission to serve County facilities in
the area.
The contract will provide
radio equipment necessary to add a sixth site to the
existing radio system. The proposal has been reviewed by
the County’s radio consultant.
The County intends to
obtain, through competitive procurement, other needed
components to establish this site such as the equipment
shelter building, generator, fuel tank and microwave
equipment that will be necessary for the project. |
