4. Does the Equipment replace existing equipment? <br />(If so, please explain why you are replacing the existing equipment) <br />Yes. Existing infrastructure of the 800 MHz CCCS has reached its end of life after 14 years, and requires <br />a systematic replacement of critical equipment to achieve P25 standards by 2018. <br />5. Why did you choose this speck Equipment? <br />Financing of the Partnership Costs owed to the County of Orange would allow the City and its recently <br />purchased equipment to access the 800 MHz communication system and improve the reliability of <br />communication related to any public safety incidents within the county or in the event of a natural <br />disaster. <br />800 MHz CCCS is utilized by all Orange County Police, Fire, Public Works and Lifeguard Agencies. It <br />provides for seamless interoperability experience between all agencies for the purposes of radio <br />communications under both emergency and non - emergency situations. This system is unique to public <br />safety, in that it allows for the use of "red channel" operations. This frequency is a one of a kind feature <br />of the system where police are able to coordinate during countywide emergency situations, such as; <br />pursuits crossing multi jurisdictions, emergency crime broadcasts, and major mutual aid incidents. <br />6. For how many years do you expect to catilize the Equipment? <br />The expected useful life of this system is ten to fifteen years. <br />Very truly yours, <br />CITY OF SANTA ANA, as Lessee <br />M <br />Name: David Cavazos <br />Title: City Manager <br />[Signature Page to Essential Use Certificate] <br />D- t <br />WCSR 33973592v3 <br />55A -28 <br />
