Federal Engineering to consult on public safety mobile radio contract
Tillamook County, Oregon has awarded Federal Engineering, Inc. (FE) a contract to assess the County’s public safety mobile radio system and assist with the implementation of upgrades. In announcing the contract, Mr. John Spence, Tillamook County Project Manager said: “Tillamook County, in collaboration with Tillamook County Emergency Communications District, currently operates a series of disparate very high frequency (VHF) radio systems that provide voice communication and dispatch services for law enforcement agencies, fire, and ambulance services throughout the County. The current system was pieced together over many years and was not designed or built as a Countywide or regional system supporting multiple agencies. Rather, it only currently satisfies the most basic requirements of public safety dispatch.”
Mr. Spence continued: “Tillamook County requested proposals from qualified contractors for design and implementation support of a Voted Simulcast for the Tillamook County Public Safety Communication System. We received proposals from multiple firms and chose Federal Engineering because of their extensive background in projects such as ours as well as their experience in Oregon which spans over a decade. We are confident FE will meet our expectations and deliver a system that meets our needs.”
