Technical Appendix Specifications for the RADIO SYSTEM UPGRADE

Special Operational RequirementsAmong the special system requirements detailed in this Section are:Table 4 – Special Operational RequirementsNameCHPENCRYPTTRANS3TRANS2FACMUTSpecial RequirementLink to California Highway PatrolVoice Encryption (for quantity. indicated; fixed and user)Talk-Out Enhancement for Fire Station 3 (end-to-end)Talk-Out Enhancement for Fire Station 2 (add/delete toTRANS3)Factory Mutual CertificationThe City reserves the right to decline any or all the Options specified herein. However, theserequirements will be considered as part of the proposal evaluation.CHP – Link to California Highway PatrolContractors shall propose a method and cost to link a conventional CHP VHF low-band channel,through a contractor-provided control station to one of the police channels. Performance shall beequivalent to that specified for Citywide Common Channel Interconnection noted elsewhere.Contractor may quote a dispatcher-enabled link arrangement, or a more innovative approach(preferred). The control station for this link would be located in the Dispatch Center EquipmentRoom at Fire Station 1.ENCRYPT – Voice EncryptionThe City requires digital voice encryption to eliminate eavesdropping and interception of tacticalmovements, sensitive information and other ongoing investigations work. It is not anticipatedthat day-to-day communications will be encrypted. Under this requirement, all police vehicularand portable radios would be equipped with voice encryption capability, as well as all dispatchworkstations. Encryption would be possible on the digital PD TAC2 channel. Encryption isrequired on all over-the-air transmissions. Additionally, encryption shall also operate on a unitto-unit(repeater talkaround and direct) basis as well.One key loader will be provided in the Dispatch Equipment Room.To ensure compatibility with future networks of other manufacturers or other agencies, the Cityrequires AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) approved FIPS (Federal Information ProcessingStandard) standard. Proposers will address the following AES on Project 25 systems is describedin ANSI/TIA/EIA-102.AAAD (2002), titled “Project 25 - Block Encryption Protocol.”Contractors shall indicate the following in their proposals:Compliance with AES on Project 25 systems as described in ANSI/TIA/EIA-102.AAAD(2002), titled “Project 25 - Block Encryption Protocol.”City of San Luis Obispo 11 Radio System Upgrade TECHNICAL APPENDIX
