CCP# Regional P25 Radio Infrastructure Project(Charlottesville—UVA—Albemarle County Emergency Communications Center)-COB5 site Purpose: The Emergency Communications Center(ECC)operates a regional 800 MHz public safety lend mobile radio system on behalf of the County of Albemarle, the City of Charlottesville, and the University of Virginia. The system provides interoperable, mission-critical communications to nearly 3,000 regional public safety and public service users. As part of an enterprise-wide project to replace end-of-life infrastructure and improve public safety communications coverage and reliability, the ECC is seeking to add 123-foot monopole tower(including foundation)at the Albemarle County Office Building on Fifth Street(COB5). Albemarle County Office Building-5th St. (COB5): The COB5 facility is a fundamental equipment location for the new regional (Charlottesville, UVA,Albemarle) P25 Radio system currently under construction. COB5 is already the regional ECC's backup dispatch and equipment facility, including 9-1-1, data systems, and dispatch equipment and space.This radio system is designed with fully redundant capabilities, including redundant critical components and dispatch infrastructure at COB5. In the case of a critical event, dispatch could be performed at the COB5 facility. For reliable connectivity to the COBS facility, microwave radio is necessary. A tower is required at the COB5 location for mounting the microwave antennas at the proposed heights.This provides a critical link to this facility to maintain continuous communications with the overall P25 system.
