3. Director’s Report – Pat Mallon

Executive Director Pat Mallon provided an update on the LTE project. As previously reported, the task of completing the project descriptions has been undertaken by the Jacobs Team. Completing the project descriptions internally will save us over a month in the overall schedule.

LTE negotiations resumed following the holiday break this past Monday. We are working expeditiously toward a goal of bringing a contract to your Board on or before February 6, 2014, preferably at a Special Meeting to be scheduled before the end of the month.

Board Member Jackson had raised a question regarding connectivity. Our consultant, Televate has prepared a report that will be sent to the Board Members by the end of the week which outlines the three options for connectivity. This report will also be added to the Board agenda for next month as a discussion item.

On the LMR system, Motorola has completed Project Descriptions on the 88 sites which includes the 15 bounded coverage area sites. We are working with them to identify site-specific issues that may require revisiting site due to limitations and potentially the identification of alternate or additional sites. The information contained in the Project Descriptions will serve as the basis for an Environmental Impact Report (EIR). The time required to complete an EIR is estimated to be approximately 12 months under expedient conditions.

In reference to the LMR contract, as of today’s dates, Amendments 1, 3 and 4 have been approved by your Board. Amendment 2 was done under your delegation of authority. The maximum contract sum, with Amendments 1 through 4, is $282,809,231.

Our legal counsel is reviewing and responding to the comments and questions from member cities relative to Site Access Agreements. Katz and Associates, as part of the Jacobs Team, is reaching out to the cities that have County owned sites in their jurisdiction in an effort to inform them of the benefits of having an LA-RICS site in their respective jurisdictions. We have sent draft Site Access Agreements to 41 Cities and have received comments from four. We would encourage Board Members to contact those cities they represent and request that they send their comments at the earliest opportunity.

On the Frequency Use Agreements, we are at a point in the Phase 1 process where we need to identify the specific frequencies that Motorola will use in the LMR system design. We are making some headway in discussions with the County for their 70 - 700 MHz frequencies and the UHF T-Band channels. A Memorandum of Understanding for these frequencies is being drafted and is forecasted to go before the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors in January/February 2014. We are still awaiting responses from the City of Los Angeles and the City of Long Beach. We will need additional UHF channels, beyond those in the TV Channel 15 compliment for the ACVRS and NBMD systems. We are working with the County and the City of Los Angeles on an implementation plan which will hopefully allow use of current operating channels once the DTVRS system is implemented and their operations have migrated to the new system.

An Oversight Committee meeting was held on January 7, 2014, via a conference call. Committee members were briefed on the development of the Funding Plan and the Outreach Plan. They were also informed that there will be a membership discussion item on today’s agenda. The Funding Plan item will be covered under agenda item 7.

On Public Outreach, under the Jacob’s contract, Katz and Associates has begun scheduling meetings with members to provide program information and follow up on their questions and comments regarding the LTE Site Access Agreements. They are also moving forward on updating the LA-RICS Website and Video.

4. Project Manager’s Report – Pat Mallon

Executive Director Pat Mallon stated the Jacob’s report is included in your agenda as item #4, and includes the Motorola Solutions-LMR Project report.

5. Grant Status Report – Pat Mallon

Executive Director Pat Mallon had nothing to report this month.

Board Member Simay had a question regarding grant funding as to whether or not we will be leaving money on the table. Executive Director Pat Mallon responded by saying that there is approximately $5 million in USAI10 funds that remains unencumbered. We are working with the Grant Administrator to get an extension from FEMA.

VI. DISCUSSION ITEM (6 - 7)

6. Membership in the Los Angeles Regional Interoperable Communication System Authority

Amanda Drukker, Counsel to LA-RICS provided a brief overview of the report that was sent to Board Members under Attorney-Client privilege that outlined whether allowing members of the Authority (“Members”) to participate for purposes of only the Land Mobile Radio system or only the Long Term Evolution broadband system requires a change to the Authority’s Joint Powers Agreement.

After a detailed discussion on the item, Chair Fujioka requested that the Board be provided with a document outlining the various options, operational challenges and the pros and cons of the options. This draft document will be sent to Board Members within the next two weeks and will be continued to the next meeting to allow for further discussions. Chair Fujioka also encouraged members to share the draft with their respective colleagues to allow maximum participation in the membership discussion.

Board Member Jackson suggested that the Operations Committee be involved in the process. He also recommended that these options be tied to the Funding Plan.

7. Draft Cost Allocation Working Paper

Aaron Pfannenstiel of PMC provided a summary of the Draft Cost Allocation Working Paper. His summary included the results of an online stakeholder survey that was sent to Authority member cities. The survey was completed by 57 jurisdictions. Nearly all respondents were cities but responses were also received from Los Angeles County Fire Department and the University of California, Los Angeles. PMC conducted a stakeholder meeting to share the results of the survey and get additional feedback from Authority members. Two meetings were held on November 20 and 21, 2013. Approximately 35 members attended the November 20, 2013 meeting and 37 attended the November 21, 2013 meeting. Stakeholder Meeting #2 took place on December 18 and 19, 2013, to share the results from Stakeholder Meeting #1 and to present information about the cost allocation methodology and preferred variables outlines in the Draft Funding Plan. Board Member Jackson asked for a copy of the questions that were a part of the online survey as well as a copy of the sign in sheets for both meetings. Board Member Jackson also requested consideration to have one of Stakeholder Meeting #3 in the South Bay Region of Los Angeles County. A question and answer dialogue took place and Board Members were satisfied with the responses received.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Events of 9-11-01 have highlighted the need for first

responders to be able to communicate with each other.

Emergency communications primarily address local

jurisdictional needs. Most agencies utilize separate radio

towers and equipment, often co-located as seen here, and

separate radio frequencies.

Currently, there is duplication of costs and first

responders cannot communicate with each other. Many

legacy systems around the County are obsolete and well

beyond their useful life. The LA-RICS Project Vision is to

construct, own, operate, and maintain a regional,

interoperable public safety radio system. The program will

establish a County-wide public safety wireless voice and

data radio system for all first and secondary responders.

Existing radio frequencies will be pooled and the current

infrastructure utilized wherever practical. New FCC

licensed broadband spectrum will be utilized.

Design, construction, and deployment of two County-wide

systems (1) Land Mobile Radio (LMR) voice network will

utilize a pool of 88 existing communications sites and (2)

Long Term Evolution (LTE) broadband data network will

utilize a pool of 232 existing communications sites. Both

systems will comply with CEQA and NEPA standards.

Project and Construction Management Services will

provide network, infrastructure, project, and advisory

services across 5 program phases for each of the LMR

and LTE projects:

Phase 1 - System design

Phase 2 - Site construction and modification

Phase 3 - Supply telecommunication system

components

Phase 4 - Telecommunications system

implementation

Phase 5 - Telecommunications system maintenance

1. Executive Summary

The Los Angeles Regional Interoperable Communica�ons System Land Mobile Radio (LA-RICS LMR) program consists of the follow-

ing five (5) phases; Phase 1 LMR System Design, Phase 2 LMR Site Construc�on and Site Modifica�on, Phase 3 Supply LMR System

Components, Phase 4 LMR System Implementa�on, and Phase 5 LMR System Maintenance. Phases 1-4 span over a five (5) year

period which includes one (1) year of system warranty. Phase 5 provides the Authority with fi:een (15) one year op�ons for

Motorola to provide system monitoring and maintenance services.

The LA-RICS LMR program is currently in Phase 1 LMR System Design. No�ce-To-Proceed for Tasks 1 through 5 of Phase 1 has been

issued authorizing work for system Design services, the design and implementa�on of the ini�al deployment of the LMR system

elements termed “Early Equipment”, “Specified Equipment and System on Wheels”, and “Sta�on B Equipment”.

The Board of Directors approved Amendment 4 on 12/4/13 to implement LMR equipment into the Los County Sheriff’s Department

Sta�on B command trailer. No�ce-To-Proceed 5 was issued on 12/20/13 authorizing the work for Amendment 4. The Execu�ve

Director informed the Board of Directors that a decision has been made to file an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the LMR

project. The filing of the EIR will delay the start of construc�on services for the communica�ons sites. Motorola and the Authority

are currently evalua�ng the overall impacts of the EIR filing process on project schedule.

This month’s report for the LA-RICS LMR program covers the repor�ng period from 12/14/13 through 01/17/14. As of this re-

por�ng period Phase 1 is 37% complete. The primary Phase 1 ac�vi�es for this period include:

• Project Management Plans development (100% Complete)

Development of the 14 management plans defining the approach and methodology that will be used to manage the

work required to complete all the Phases in the Program. Motorola completed the delivery of all of the Project Man-

agement Plans. The Authority provided its approval of all 14 management plans on 12/23/13.

• Integrated Master Schedule development (100% Complete)

Consists of the development and on-going updates of the Integrated Master Schedule (IMS). The LMR IMS will be

integrated into the Authority’s overall LA-RICS IMS program. The Ini�al IMS is 100% complete. The baseline of the

overall IMS is 100% complete. The IMS schedule will need to be updated in February to account for the impact of fil-

ing an EIR. Upon comple�on of incorpora�ng the EIR filing process into the IMS a new schedule baseline will be estab-

lished.

• “Early Equipment” design, procurement and implementa�on (63% Complete)

Early Equipment is a subset of the LMR system that will be implemented in the early stages of the LMR program. This

subset of the LMR system will allow the Authority to evaluate the technology that will be deployed and assess any

poten�al changes to exis�ng opera�onal policies. The Early Equipment Factory Acceptance Tes�ng in Schaumburg, IL

was successfully completed and delivered to Los Angeles on 12/16/13. Inventory of the equipment with the Authority

representa�ves was completed on 12/24/13. Site prepara�on ac�vi�es con�nued in this period in prepara�on of the

installa�on of the equipment in January.

• LMR System Design (29% Complete)

The LMR System Design is a compila�on of documents that will define the architecture,

func�onality and performance of all of the subsystems that make up the en�re LMR system. It includes all aspects of

the system including performance criteria, reliability levels and tes�ng procedures. System Design ac�vi�es for this

period included frequency iden�fica�on and planning, evalua�on of site parameter changes, development of subsys-

tem architecture, and subsystem func�onal opera�ons. System Design ac�vi�es will become the primary effort in

Phase 1 in the coming months.

• LA-RICS Deliverables - Authority Site Access Agreements (53%Complete)

Authority’s efforts to develop and execute the applicable site access agreements for the required sites in the LMR

design. This task also includes access to the sites that will host the system’s core switching network. The Authority

con�nues to work with the Member Agencies to finalize Site Access Agreements.

• “Specified Equipment & System-on-Wheels” and “Sta�on B Equipment” (14%)

Includes addi�onal radio communica�ons equipment that will be deployed and interfaced with the Early Equipment

deployed equipment. The ac�vity for this task in this period consisted of equipment procurement, equipment staging

in prepara�on for Factory Acceptance Tes�ng, and site readiness work.

The following table provides a dashboard snapshot of the projects’ health signs.

MEM BERSHI P & INFRASTRUCTURE CREDIT OISC UIéIOI.I

At the January 9,2014 Board Meeting, your Board requested I-A-RICS staff prepare a list ofmembership participation options in Land Mobile Radio (LMR) and Long Term Evolution (LTE) (i.e., thePublic Safety Broadband Network) Systems, as well as the operational impacts, and effects each couldcause, if exercised. LA-RICS Membership Options (Attachment A) was sent to your Board for input onJanuary 29,2014.

ln addition, your Board requested exploration of infrastructure credits for assets contributed by Memberagencies fo the LA-RICS System, in exchange for credit factored into cost allocation formula for thecontributing agency. The Working Paper - lnfrastructure Credits (Attachment B) was prepared byPMC, exploring the policy questions that need to be addressed in order to determine if such creditsshould be applied. The Working Paper was sent to your Board on January 29,2014 for input. Staffalso plans to provide and discuss scenarios of how the Funding Plan would be affected if site creditsare provided to each site-owning Member Agency.

This item is to allow for discussion on both Membership and lnfrastructure Credit documents.

WORKING PAPER Infrastructure Credits 

LA‐RICS Prepared by PMC 

January 2014  POLICY QUESTIONS:   Should LA‐RICS consider providing infrastructure credits to agencies that bring infrastructure into the LA‐RICS system?  Are there differences between infrastructure being proposed to be brought into the LMR and LTE systems which would effect this decision?  If credits are to be provided; how would the amounts of the credits be determined and how would the credit be provided?  PURPOSE: This paper is intended to identify at a high level the policy questions which should be addressed in the short term in order to ensure that opportunities which may exist now are considered before decisions are made which may make consideration of infrastructure credits moot in the future.  This paper is not intended to answer all of the questions which may arise or to define all of the procedures that may be needed if a decision is made to consider providing infrastructure credits.    Also provided at the end of this paper is credit information obtained as part of the research undertaken to develop the Draft Funding Plan.  DISCUSSION:   LA‐RICS has been asked by potential future Member Agencies to consider providing them with some type of credit should these agencies bring infrastructure into the LA‐RICS system.  Conceptually, the idea of providing a credit to an entity or agency that brings infrastructure into the LA‐RICS system could be appropriate if the infrastructure reduces the cost of building overall system and/or provides a regional or system benefit.  While the concept of allowing credits may be clear and easily understood, the details relative to the deployment of the LMR and LTE systems as well as the funding being used for each system requires further refinement to identify what infrastructure may or may not be eligible for a credit.  The description of potentially eligible and non‐eligible infrastructure as well as questions related to these determinations is discussed below but the final determination is a policy item to be ultimately determined by the LA‐RICS Board.  LA‐RICS is going to be comprised of two systems; LMR and LTE.  LMR The LMR system is anticipated to be paid entirely from grant funding.  As a result, a determination needs to be made as to whether these grant funds can be used to pay for existing infrastructure which could be used in place of building new infrastructure required for the LMR system.  If grant funding currently identified to build the LMR system can be used to pay for infrastructure, which already exists and can be

AGENDA ITEM 6 – ATTACHMENT B  

integrated into the LA‐RICS system whereby reducing or eliminating the need to build then providing credits for this infrastructure would seem to be appropriate.   One Item to consider is that the LMR system design did not anticipate bringing existing infrastructure into the initial system.  If consideration is to be given to add existing infrastructure into the LMR system, it should be required to be identified at some early point and certainly prior to finalizing the completion of the system design.  A second item to consider is grant funding.  If grant funds are sufficient to pay of the initial construction of the LMR system and these grant funds are eligible to be used to purchase existing infrastructure then this infrastructure could be acquired and integrated into LA‐RICS with no need for a credit to be given.  In essence, the infrastructure would be purchased in lieu of building new infrastructure and that is how the agency providing this infrastructure would be compensated.  If infrastructure is proposed to be provided after the construction of the LMR system then credits should be considered only when the additional infrastructure provides a regional or system benefit.  The LA‐RICS Board should also consider inability to consider credits for infrastructure being proposed to be added if it had been originally funded from a state or federal grant program.   The agency or entity proposing to add infrastructure should be required to provide LA‐RICS staff with a description of the infrastructure being offered as well as defining the benefit it would add.  If LA‐RICS concurs, then staff at LA‐RICS and the agency/entity offering the infrastructure would need to determine its current value and estimated useful life to establish the appropriate value and associated credit. 

 LTE The LTE system has a match requirement of 20% divided equally between a hard and soft match both at 10% which is estimated to be $19 Million for each match.  If infrastructure could be added into the LTE system, could the agency adding this infrastructure be used as part of either match requirement?  If the answer is “yes” then no credit would be required from LA‐RICS directly while the agency/entity would be receiving a “credit” for its matching requirement.   After the initial match requirements are met then LA‐RICS would need to determine how to define whether credits could be given for the addition for future infrastructure.  One approach could be to keep the option of issuing credits open and then requiring the agency/entity proposing to add infrastructure in exchange for credits to provide the justification to the LA‐RICS Board for consideration. If LA‐RICS concurs, then staff at LA‐RICS and the agency/entity offering the infrastructure would need to determine its current value and estimated useful life to establish the appropriate value and associated credit.  Once a determination is made that a credit should be given, it must be determined how to provide the credit.  Credits could be in the form of LA‐RICS providing equipment in an equivalent dollar amount to the credit being received or in the form of a usage cost credit.  In addition, there are a number of future questions to be considered which include but are not limited to the following:  

Should infrastructure being proposed to be provided to LA‐RICS become an LA‐RICS asset? 

Page 35: LOS ANGELES REGIONAL INTEROPERABLE COMMUNICATIONS …€¦ · expeditiously toward a goal of bringing a contract to your Board on or before February 6, 2014, preferably at a Special

AGENDA ITEM 6 – ATTACHMENT B  

How will the determination be made that the proposed infrastructure adds benefits to the system from a regional perspective? 

Will the original source of financing influence whether or not credit will be considered?  How will the current value and useful life expectancy for the infrastructure be 

determined?   Are there funds currently set aside to replace this infrastructure when necessary and are 

those funds being transferred to LA‐RICS?  

ADDITIONAL ITEMS: While not directly related to the topic of credits, another item has been brought up suggested that  LA‐RICS to consider paying for ground leases or antenna leases should it locate a facility in or use an agency tower/facility/infrastructure.  The initial response to this suggestion has been that is this not an appropriate approach.  Part of the rationale for this conclusion is that the City and County of Los Angeles will have a majority of these sites on their property and that the result of adding ground lease costs into LA‐RICS would be to drive up the price to smaller agencies.  The topic of paying for the cost of maintenance for facilities placed on existing towers has also been raised and LA‐RICS staff has indicated that paying for its proportionate share for the maintenance and/or operational costs for these facilities should be included into the costs of operating the system and should be paid to the owners of the towers.

LA-RICS Member Agency Connectivity P a g e | 3

1 INTRODUCTION

The Los Angeles Regional Interoperable Communications System (LA-RICS) Authority has requested that Televate provide an analysis on how Member agencies will connect to the Public Safety Broadband Network (PSBN). There are a variety of options for these connections. The options impact cost and reliability that must be assessed by the Authority and its member agencies. This document provides a high-level analysis of those options and the next steps for Member agency discussions with the Authority on the ideal configuration for each Member.

2 BACKGROUND

In any Internet Protocol (IP) network, communication endpoints (addresses) must be connected. For most applications, that means a client device must be connected to a server (e.g., a Computer Aided Dispatch server, a mail server, or a web server). And for a Long Term Evolution (LTE) network that generally requires that all traffic be routed between an LTE modem (User Equipment) through the Evolved Packet Core (EPC) and the appropriate application server which is generally located in the user’s data center for public safety services although some services or information may be generally available on the Internet. The following diagram provides context for the connections.

In addition, many public safety agencies that allow their personnel to access Internet based applications will require “content filtering” which restricts access to approved applications and web sites. The IT

Page 41: LOS ANGELES REGIONAL INTEROPERABLE COMMUNICATIONS …€¦ · expeditiously toward a goal of bringing a contract to your Board on or before February 6, 2014, preferably at a Special

LA-RICS Member Agency Connectivity P a g e | 4

departments managing these content filters require that traffic is routed through agency networks and through the agency’s connection to the Internet. The primary EPC will be located at the Los Angeles County Fire Command and Control Center (FCCF). While each agency has different approaches to where and how they source their applications, most host their applications in data centers in one or more of their existing buildings. Therefore, the Authority is expecting that the most likely connectivity requirement is between the FCCF and agency data center locations.

3 OPTIONS AND ANALYSIS

There are three primary manners in which LA-RICS and its Members can connect the agency data center servers with the PSBN.

1. Via The Internet: The Authority could connect the PSBN to the Internet at the FCCF, agency Internet connections, and the Internet itself to route traffic between the two networks.

2. Via the PSBN Itself: The PSBN includes a microwave backbone that could be used to carry traffic between the FCCF and the agency data centers.

3. Via Leased “Circuits”: Dedicated leased “circuits” between the FCCF and the agency data centers.

The decision regarding the optimal solution for each Member agency depends on a variety of factors, including the location of the data center(s), the existing facilities of each data center, complementary benefits of interconnecting data centers, capital and operating costs, and others. The following sections provide an analysis of each solution. It is important to understand that there are other options and multiple variants of the above options that may also be considered as well. In fact, two or more of these options could be pursued for additional redundancy.

3.1 Internet Based Connections

Leveraging the Internet is likely the simplest way to connect the FCCF with each data center. Each data center is likely to be connected to the Internet. And a connection from FCCF to the Internet would complete the virtual circuit. Coupled with existing facilities at both end to encrypt the communications over the Internet, could make the solution inexpensive to implement and to maintain. However, there are a number of drawbacks to this solution. Most importantly, the parties do not control the bandwidth over the Internet. Congestion over the Internet could cause poor quality of service. In addition, there would be no guaranteed service availability over the Internet. During periods of power outages, natural disasters, and other man-made events when public safety communications are needed the most, the Internet connections could fail. Given that one of the primary objectives with the PSBN is to achieve public safety grade service availability, this could create issues. Specifically, it is possible that the PSBN may operate during these disasters but the users cannot connect to their servers due to loss of service or congestion related issues.

LA-RICS Member Agency Connectivity P a g e | 5

The centralized connection point at FCCF to the Internet would allow new PSBN security devices to handle connectivity (for Virtual Private Network encryption), however, it may require inexpensive VPN hardware at the agency data center. Ongoing operational costs could also be impacted depending on the available bandwidth of existing Internet connections.

Many member agencies are likely to be using this type of connection with the wireless carriers (e.g., AT&T, Verizon Wireless, Sprint, T-Mobile, etc.) today.

3.2 PSBN Based Connections

As depicted in the figure above, the PSBN will include microwave based connections between the cell sites (eNodeB) and the EPC. These connections can also be used to carry traffic between the EPC and the agency data centers. It is currently unknown if the eNodeB locations and the data centers are co-located, or if the eNodeBs are “co-located” with other endpoints on the agency’s network (LAN or WAN). In addition, several dozen eNodeB locations are not expected to be reachable via microwave connections. These locations may require leased circuits (described below). In addition, the connections for the PSBN will terminate at the cell site location outside of the police or fire stations (the typical site used for the PSBN). Therefore, additional cost may be incurred to connect the outdoor PSBN compound with the agency network inside a collocated building. However, assuming the bandwidth needed for these connections can be accommodated with the planned microwave connections, there is no incremental capital or operational cost associated with providing the connection. The costs in this case are largely one-time capital costs.

However, the significant benefit associated with using the PSBN’s microwave backhaul is reliability. The microwave connections of the PSBN are expected to have “public safety grade” availability that includes redundancies that survive equipment and other failures. In other words, these connections will be designed to a reliability level consistent with the overall PSBN. Because most eNodeBs have multiple incoming connections, a connection from that eNodeB into an agency network would also benefit from the redundant connections.

3.3 Leased Circuit Connections

Leased circuits are facilities that are typically arranged by telephone carriers on a point-to-point basis. In this case, they would be leased between the FCCF facility and the agency’s data center. These data connections are often referred to as “Metro Ethernet” by the service providers. Many large agencies or governments have such dedicated connections between their data centers and their wireless carrier’s switch. These facilities have dedicated capacity to the lessee, and therefore, the lessee can rely on consistent bandwidth and reduced risk of congestion.

The costs associated with the leased circuits are primarily an operational cost. Depending on the location of the endpoints, there is occasionally a one-time charge to establish the facilities at one or both ends of the connection.

LA-RICS Member Agency Connectivity P a g e | 6

The reliability of these leased circuits is generally lower than the desired levels for “public safety grade.” The service providers typically do not guarantee reliability and when they do, it is generally at a level below the specifications of public safety systems. As a result, as with Internet based connections, it is feasible that the PSBN may continue to provide service in a disaster, but due to power outages or other factors, a leased circuit may prevent PSBN users from accessing their applications.

4 NEXT STEPS

As expressed earlier in this document, the optimal solution for each Member agency to connect to the PSBN depends on that agency’s existing facilities and their proximity to an eNodeB as well as the required reliability and cost factors. In order to determine the best solution for each Member agency to connect to the PSBN, the Authority is planning to meet with the IT departments of each Member to determine the scope of its existing network and facilities as well as its requirements for connections and configuration.

BACKGROUND

On September 1, 2010, the Department of Commerce's National Telecommunications andlnformation Administration (NTIA) awarded the Authority a Comprehensive Communitylnfrastructure (CCl) Broadband Technology Opportunity Program (BTOP) grant to develop anddeploy a 700 MHz public safety mobile broadband network across the County of Los Angeles.

On March 3,2011, Televate was awarded a contract for professional broadband engineeringconsulting services to provide its technical expertise to aid the Authority in the development,procurement, and deployment of a public safety mobile broadband system across all of theCounty of Los Angeles to satisfy the requirements of the BTOP grant.

On November 8, 2011, the Authority issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for a combined LandMobile Radio (LMR) system and Long Term Evolution (LTE) broadband mobile data system,collectively a "Telecommunications System" (RFP # LA-RICS 004) to service all regions acrossthe County of Los Angeles.

On February 22, 2012, Congress enacted the Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of2012 (Act) which, among other things, assigned to public safety a 10 MHz section of spectrumknown as "D-Block" and mandated the creation of a nationwide public safety broadbandnetwork (NPSBN). The Act created FirstNet, an independent authority within the Department ofCommerce's NTIA, charged to take "all actions necessary" to build, deploy, and operate thenetwork, in consultation with State, local, tribal and territorial entities.

On May 11,2012, NTIA partially suspended the BTOP funded public-safety projects, due touncertainty whether grant recipients would be able to comply with the terms and conditions ofthe grant whilst ensuring that the project proceeded in a manner that supported thedevelopment of an NSPBN.

ln light of the assignment of the D-Block and the partial suspension of BTOP funded public-safety projects as a result of the Act, on August 2,2012, your Board cancelled RFP # LA-RICS004, and made the determination to divide the LMR and LTE systems into separateprocurements.

On June 19,2013, your Board approved a Spectrum Manager Lease Agreement (SMLA) withFirstNet for spectrum usage rights to operate on the 700 MHz public safety broadbandspectrum. On July 1,2013, the SMLA was executed and the partial suspension was lifted byNTIA on August 9,2013, extending the performance period of the BTOP award throughSeptember 30,2015. As a result, on August 13,2013, the Authority released an LTE RFP todevelop and deploy a public safety mobile broadband system to span across the County of LosAngeles.

Throughout all of these efforts, Televate has performed important professional services as theAuthority's broadband engineering consultant. With the extension of the BTOP award andreissuance of the LTE RFP, an extension with Televate is now required.

PURPOSE/JUSTIFICATION OF RECOMMENDED ACTION

The purpose of the first recommended action is to ensure that the Authority has sufficient fundsto pay for future work performed by Televate to aid the Authority in seeing the public safetymobile broadband network through to final system acceptance.

The purpose of the second recommended action is to provide an increase in the hourly laborrates. The increase to Televate's hourly rates are reflected in the table below.

Professional Labor Category PreviousHourlv Rates

lncreasedHourlv Rate

Partner $200.00 s212.00Senior Subiect Matter Expert $212.00Prooram Manaqer and Professional Enqineer $175.00 $186.00Subiect Matter Expert $175.00 $186.00Senior Enoineer $150.00 $159.00Architect Principle $150.00 $159.00Radio Desiqn Enoineer $125.00 $133.00Construction Manaoer $1 10.00 $1 17.00Site Acquisition Soecialist $100.00 $106.00Proiect Coordinator $90.00 $96.00Draftino Soecialist $85.00 $91.00Ad min istrative Coord inator $50.00 $53.00

The hourly rate increases account for the fact that Contractor's rates have increased since theinitial contract was awarded three years ago. The hourly rates were reviewed and determined tobe reasonable by the Authority.

The purpose of the third recommended action is to allow for an increase in the scope of work forbroadband engineering consulting services that were not previously contemplated as a result ofrecent legislative action resulting in changes to the procurement of a public safety mobilebroadband system. Televate served as the Subject Matter Expert during the previousprocurement process as well as the most recent broadband procurement process and theAuthority seeks to continue using Televate's technical expertise from the design review phase tofinal system acceptance of the resultant contract and subsequently through transition to FirstNetand/or CalFRN. Lastly, the Authority would like to ensure that Televate's contract takes intoaccount any unforeseen, additional work that may arise through implementation of the system.The inclusion of a COLA will allow for increases to the hourly rates, in the Authority's solediscretion, to account for increases in the cost of living in accordance with the most recentpublished percentage change in the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics'Consumer Price lndex (CPl) for the Los Angeles-Riverside-Orange County Area for the 12-month period. However, any increase shall not exceed the general salary movement granted toCounty employees as determined by the Chief Executive Officer. Furthermore, should fiscalcircumstances ultimately prevent the Board from approving any increase in County employeesalaries, no COLA will be granted.

LA-RICS Board of DirectorsFebruary 6,2014Page 4

FISCAL IMPACT/FINANCING

An increase to the Maximum Contract Sum in the amount of $1,800,000 will increase theMaximum Contract Sum amount from $1,500,000 to $3,300,000 and will be account for the twoadditional consecutive additional one year periods contemplated in the Agreement.

All contract costs shall be reimbursed by the Broadband Technology Opportunities (BTOP)grant award from the Department of Commerce's NTIA.

FACTS AND PROVISIONS/LEGAL REQUIREMENT

The Counsel to the Authority has reviewed the recommended action.

The hourly rates were fixed for the initial three year term of the contract. Upon approval of therecommended action, the contract will allow for a COLA increase during the final additional oneyear period, if exercised by the Authority.

CONCLUSION

Upon your Board's approval of the recommended actions, on behalf of the Authority, theExecutive Director will execute Amendment 2, substantially similar in form to Attachment A.

Exhibit A (Scope of Work) Page A-1 of A-9 Broadband Engineering

STATEMENT OF WORK

Consultant shall provide the following professional services in accordance with this Exhibit A. This Statement of Work, and all tasks and deliverables herein, are limited to Long Term Evolution ("LTE") only, and do not include any tasks or deliverables for Land Mobile Radio ("LMR"). I. BACKGROUND

The Department of Commerce's National Telecommunications and Information Administration ("NTIA") awarded the Los Angeles Regional Interoperable Communication System Authority (the "Authority") a Comprehensive Community Infrastructure Broadband Technology Opportunity Program ("BTOP") grant in the amount of $154,640,000. BTOP funds were awarded to the Authority to develop and deploy LA-SafetyNet, a 700 MHz public safety mobile broadband network across all of Los Angeles County, featuring almost 300 wireless 700 MHz public safety broadband sites using new and existing infrastructure, fixed microwave backhaul rings, and 100-miles of high-capacity fiber backbone. The Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") has required public safety broadband networks to adopt LTE technology. This network will enable computer-aided dispatch, rapid law-enforcement queries, real-time video streaming, medical telemetry and patient tracking, geographic information systems services for first responders, and many other broadband-specific applications.

The Authority will implement LA-SafetyNet as a major component of LA-RICS, which will incorporate both voice and data communications systems. LA-RICS will be designed and built under a contract ("Contract") with one or more vendors ("Vendor").

To address the technical requirements necessary for implementing this new technology, Consultant shall provide expertise in LTE technology and the use of mobile broadband technology for public safety use. Consultant may provide support via phone, e-mail, conference call, online meeting, or other electronic means. The Authority, at its discretion, shall require Consultant to attend in-person project meetings or other on-site work as required.

a. Schedule: The schedule can be accelerated if the vendor provides detailed requirements and sample packages for review.

b. Deliverable: A set of requirements for each agreed upon set of design packages

Task 3: Design Reviews: Televate presumes that Design Review will occur over several waves. The following would be the schedule for those waves, however, it would be a function of the vendor work plan.

1. Wave 1: High Level Network Design: 1. Schedule: Anticipate completion of the reviews within three weeks of receipt of

the design package. 2. Deliverable/Scope: It is anticipated that this package would include the initial

design that demonstrates meeting the contract requirements (including matching asset use). The initial design package would include sufficient information for the Authority to "approve" of a constellation of sites in the overall design. The initial design package would include a backhaul capacity plan, RF coverage plan, proposed site locations and configuration. It is preferable to receive these packages in zones (beginning with LA City). The deliverable would be a detailed analysis of the high level design for each zone. Meetings with LA-RICS Authority staff will be conducted to determine the appropriate response to the vendor and assist in preparing the response by the following week.

2. Wave 2: Site Packages: 1. Schedule: The complete review of each cluster will be completed within two

weeks with the same deliverables as in Wave 1 and the same proposed process. 2. Deliverable/Scope: It is anticipated that site packages will come in clusters of

sites. The preference would be that these design packages include all required detailed information to fully evaluate the site and the design requirements. It is preferable to review these site packages in clusters of 10 or more sites. The final deliverable for each site package will be recommendations regarding the proposed design (approve, reject, and issues or cause for rejection with the package)

3. Wave 3: Evolved Packet Core ("EPC"), IP and Application Integration Design: 1. Schedule: This wave can be conducted in parallel with Wave 2. The review of

the proposed design is expected to take three to four weeks with a deliverable and timetable schedule otherwise equivalent to Wave 1.

2. Deliverable/Scope: This work will include a full analysis of the LTE packet core design and system configuration. It will also include an analysis of the IP design and configuration (routing, MPLS, addressing) as well as the security plan from the vendor and the proposed plan to integrate required applications. This would also include a design review (with regional IT staff) of any desired integration with existing applications.

Task 4: Implementation and Deployment Reviews 1. Design Plan Reviews: See task 2 above. 2. Project Plan Reviews:

1. Schedule: On demand as directed by Authority. Duration depends on the scope of the plan.

The timing and scope of these deliverables will vary depending on the scope of the vendor's quality assurance deliverables.

5. Vendor Specification Reviews: The Consultant will review vendor work product to ensure it meets contractual requirements, including 3GPP compliance. The deliverables include a comprehensive requirements analysis against the completed solution. The timing of these deliverables will be determined as the deliverables are turned over to the Authority as completed.

6. Acceptance Testing Review: Acceptance testing review will include review of the vendor's acceptance testing plans, witnessing acceptance tests, and review of the results of the acceptance tests. In these cases, Consultant will provide analysis of plans, tests, and results in the form of reports. In addition, the Consultant, as directed by Authority, will design, conduct, and develop reports for other acceptance tests covering other elements of the project (i.e., where the primary vendor does not have the obligation to provide such tests). The deliverables and timing of these activities will be a function of the scope and timing of the vendor's deliverables as well as the additional systems assigned to Consultant to manage testing activities.

7. Integration and Cutover Plan Review: Consultant will review and provide analysis and recommendations regarding the vendor's, the Authority's, and other third party integration
