Salt Lake City, Utah has awarded Federal Engineering, Inc. (FE) a contract to provide radio system consulting services to assist in the evaluation of SLC’s current analog government radio system and the development of specifications for the upgrade to a modern P25 digital system.
Ms. Brandi Thompson, Project Manager for the city said, “The current Salt Lake City Radio System has been in use for over 20 years. This system is past the end of its useful life and must be replaced. Technology has dramatically changed over the years with the current state-of-the-art being a P25 standards-based digital radio system. The city requires that a new system be implemented to support the needs of the city’s radio system user base and be interoperable with the Utah Communications
Authority (“UCA”) statewide public safety radio system. Accordingly, the city sought specialized consulting services to assist in the development, procurement, and installation oversight of our new city radio system.
Through a competitive proposal process, we selected Federal Engineering. FE’s proposal plus their years of experience here in Utah made them the obvious choice to assist us.”
According to Mr. Rajit Jhaver, director for Federal Engineering, the Salt Lake City project is comprehensive and includes six tasks: requirements capture, preliminary design development, final design development, RFP development, RFP evaluation, and contract negotiations. FE will also provide implementation support including project management, independent validation and verification, and inspection services.
Federal Engineering is a nationwide firm providing analysis, design, procurement, and implementation support for public safety and public service communications involving traditional VHF, UHF, 700 MHz, 800 MHz, 900 MHz, and 4.9GHz mobile radio systems as well as LTE and CBRS. In addition, FE provides dispatch center consulting services,
and design and implementation support services for voice, data, and video networks used in the transportation, utilities, finance, education, and computer services industries.
