1 Silicon Valley Regional Interoperability Authority (SVRIA) Overview Presented By: William J. McCammon Interim Executive Director

2 SVRIA Historical Overview The Silicon Valley Regional Interoperability Authority (SVRIA) was formed in 2010 as a joint powers authority to coordinate, manage, and plan regional public safety technology initiatives SVRIA operates the ECOMM network built by SVRIP SVRIA s primary focus now is on the development of countywide communications system for public safety called the Silicon Valley Regional Communications System (SVRCS)

3 SVRIA Board of Directors Jason Baker, Board Chair Representing the Southwest county cities of Campbell, Cupertino, Monte Sereno, Saratoga, and the Town of Los Gatos Megan Satterlee, Vice Chair Representing the Northwest county cities of Palo Alto, Mountain View and Los Altos Mike Wasserman Representing the County of Santa Clara Chris Moylin Representing the Central county cities of Milpitas, Santa Clara, and Sunnyvale Margaret Abe-Koga Representing the City Selection Committee of Santa Clara Peter Leroe-Munoz Representing the South county cities of Gilroy and Morgan Hill Pierluigi Oliverio Representing the City of San Jose Pete Constant Representing the City of San Jose Sheriff Laurie Smith Representing the County of Santa Clara

4 Silicon Valley Regional Communications System (SVRCS) SVRCS will serve over 18 municipalities/jurisdictions and over 30 law enforcement, fire, emergency medical, and public works agencies. Today agencies operate over a wide range of frequency bands utilizing 22 VHF channels, 43 UHF channels, and MHZ channels. Current systems are aging, with limited capacity and coverage Interoperability is limited but achievable through a single channel gateway (BayMACS) that bridges VHF, UHF, and 800 MHZ.

7 Why do we need the SVRCS? Communications systems are fragmented Existing communications systems are nearing the end of their useful lives Significant cost savings can be realized for local jurisdictions by being part of a regional system without sacrificing local autonomy Limited availability of spectrum Grant funding from the Federal Government is available for Regional Communication Systems

8 SVRCS System Overview Countywide Digital P25 Compliant Communications System with approximately repeater sites, and 12 Dispatch Centers with 80 Dispatch Consoles connected through ECOMM Provide the highest level of interoperability for all jurisdictions Improved flexibility, capacity, and coverage including in building coverage Economies of scale providing jurisdictions with local autonomy while realizing the benefits of reduced cost of current and future technology upgrades.

13 SVRCS Current Progress SVRIA issued an RFP for infrastructure in 2012, Motorola Solution Inc. was low bidder and signed a contract in September 2012 that included pricing for infrastructure, dispatch consoles and subscriber units Infrastructure purchases (Stage 1 and 2) included the Master Site, Prime Site, 5 repeater sites using Homeland Security Grant funds Local agencies including Santa Clara, Sunnyvale, and the County purchased dispatch consoles and subscriber units, additional agencies are moving forward with subscriber unit and dispatch console purchases Santa Clara and Sunnyvale will be migrating to the new system in January 2014

14 SVRCS Future Funding Options Grant funding is not sufficient to complete the build out of the system Funding through a voter approved parcel tax was studied but it was determined given the funding required per parcel the amount needed was not viable at that time City Managers expressed concern that the total system design was not completed and detailed costs must be developed to take a ballot measure forward Some combination of local revenue in conjunction with grants is required to complete the system once a system design is completed and detailed costs are known

15 SVRCS System Design The SVRCS system design process was proposed and approved by the Working Committee and board of Directors and is moving forward The process assumes coverage levels for Urban, Suburban and Rural areas of the County Site selection is based on computer modeling using the agreed coverage levels Sites selected are reviewed for feasibility of use and cost to upgrade Users review the coverage assumptions and computer modeling to approve the design Detailed costs are developed using the selected sites Financing options can then be developed and moved forward to the stakeholders for evaluation, and selection
