ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT Meeting Date: January 28, 2014 SUBJECT: Tower Stu DEPARTMENT: Emergency Services ATTACHMENT(S): A) Radio Communication Tower and System Infrastructure Upgrade Action Agenda Item No. 2 PUBLIC HEARING: (Y /N) No INFORMATION CONTACT: Jim Groves, 245 -6140 1 PURPOSE: To receive the findings from a study by Federal Engineering relating current radio coverage and proposed enhancements to the radio infrastructure. BACKGROUND: The State -owned Voice Interoperability Plan for Emergency Responders (VIPER) 800 MHz Radio System has been used by Orange County emergency response agencies for several years. During that time, several complaints have been raised by law enforcement, fire, and emergency medical services (EMS) relating to coverage issues. This study took a look at our existing coverage under the VIPER system, and provides several suggestions for new tower sites to help improve coverage and building penetration. In addition, the study looked at the VHF Paging coverage, and provides recommendations to consider for improving VHF Paging coverage. The VHF paging system is used to activate pagers for fire departments as well as EMS when there is an emergency call. FINANCIAL IMPACT: This presentation is for informational purposes. Tower construction is currently included in the Emergency Services Capital Investment Plan (CIP). Any action based on the recommendations of this report will be presented to the Board at a regular meeting. RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board receive the presentation for informational purposes.

Introduction An RF Coverage Workshop was held with Orange County and the law enforcement, fire, and emergency medical services within Orange County on May 20, 2013. At this workshop, Federal Engineering (FE) presented RF coverage maps showing coverage provided by the existing VIPER sites, along with RF coverage improvements the County could realize from various additional sites. Workshop participants were able to see what RF coverage improvements were produced from multiple sets of site configurations. As a result of this RF Coverage Workshop, Orange County selected a set of four additional sites to improve VIPER coverage within the County. These four sites are existing sites, and the County decided to investigate colocation on the following four sites. • Northeast portion of County — Caldwell area — existing guyed tower • South - Central portion of County — Chapel Hill — existing monopole • Southwest portion of County — Chapel Hill — existing monopole • Southeast portion of County — Chapel Hill — existing monopole (two sites possible in this area, where either site would provide coverage) The RF Workshop also presented Fire Station Paging RF coverage from the existing sites, along with RF coverage improvements from various additional sites. For Fire Station Paging RF coverage improvements, the County selected two additional sites to improve coverage within the County. They are: • North portion of County — Cedar Grove Fire Station on Hawkins Road. • Southwest portion of County — Orange Grove Fire Station at 6800 Orange Grove Rd. The Orange Grove Fire Station will require a new tower. August 30, 2013 Page 4 of 51 B Orange County NC Radio Communication Tower and System Infrastructure Upgrade RF Coverage and Sites /Towers 2. RF Coverage For each of the additional sites identified, FE predicted RF coverage, combined the predicted coverage of these additional sites with the existing VIPER RF coverage provided to Orange County, and plotted the resultant total coverage. Figures 2 through 12 shows these RF coverage plots, which can be found in Section 2.1.7. Figure 2 depicts the current VIPER RF coverage. Additionally, high - resolution plots have been generated and will be provided in separate electronic format, due to the large file size. Tables 1 and 2 list RF coverage percentages for Orange County, and can be found in Section 2.1.8 Table 1 lists the coverage percentages for the existing system, and Table 2 lists the percentages with the four proposed new sites. Table 3 lists the proposed antenna mounting heights for 800 MHz antennas, and can be found in Section 2.1.9. This site could provide 800 MHz VIPER coverage in the northeast portion of the County. The Crown Castle database lists this site as an existing 400 ft. guyed tower. Investigations showed that this tower was dismantled; however, American Tower Corporation (ATC) has proposed a new195 ft. monopole tower for commercial use by AT &T and potentially other commercial Figures 3 through 8 in Section 2.1.7 shows the predicted 800 MHz RF coverage from this site. Please note that the site is labeled as Bill Poole Rd (this is the proposed ATC New Sharon Church Rd. site). The County should consider pursuing use of this tower following its use approval. In the event no space is available in the shelter, or the carrier will not permit use of the carrier's shelter, Orange County will need to procure and install a shelter for its own use. Orange County may also be required to procure a generator with associated fuel tank.

FE investigations show that this site, #42 on the County Telcom List, is now owned by Crown Castle. In the event that no space is available in the shelter, or the carrier prohibits use of the carrier's shelter by others, Orange County will need to procure and install a shelter for its own use. Orange County may also be required to procure and a generator with associated fuel tank. 800 MHz RF coverage has been predicted from this site, and is shown in Figures 3 through 8, which can be found in Section 2.1.7. The County should consider pursuing use of this tower.

This site is owned by VilComm Interactive Media and is used by WCHL AM. Investigations have shown that this is an AM broadcast location, and that the towers themselves are the antenna. This is referred to as a "hot" tower. There are two towers at this location, as the WCHL uses two different radiation patterns, one for daylight hours, and one for nighttime hours. Since the towers are very close to each other, either tower would provide the coverage desired. Since these are "hot" towers, isolation equipment is required between the radio equipment and the transmission lines and antennas that are mounted on the towers. Detailed engineering will be required to use this site, and will include designing the insolation equipment based on specific frequencies to be used, as well as ensuring that the AM broadcast pattern is not affected. August 30, 2013 Page 8 of 51 B 9 Orange County NC Radio Communication Tower and System Infrastructure Upgrade RF Coverage and Sites /Towers Contact with the tower owner has been established through the Chapel Hill Police Department, and discussions with the tower owner have taken place. A physical inspection of the tower revealed that it was installed in 1968. Since the tower uses hollow tube steel legs, a structural analysis would need to include inspection of the inside of the tubular tower legs to check for the amount of corrosion. Also, it is FE's subcontractor's opinion that the tower would fail the most current TIA/EIA guidelines. Following discussion with Orange County, it was agreed that a structural analysis on this tower at this time was not to be performed. Alternate locations in the same area as the WCHL towers should be investigated. At the direction of Orange County, FE reviewed the possible alternate locations for a site in this area. A site approximately 1,000 ft. to the south of WCHL could possibly be pursued. This alternative site is described in Section 2.1.5. FE predicted 800 MHz RF coverage for this site, and is shown in Figures 3 through 8, which can be found in Section 2.1.7.

FE identified this as part of the Eastgate Shopping Center parcel, PIN # 9799255527. This property is in a flood plain, in an area labeled as Jordan Lake (unprotected). This may require the use of raised platforms for the site equipment (shelter, generator, and fuel tanks) Also, due to the proximity to the WCHL -AM towers, any new tower may require "AM — de- tuning ". A tower elevation and Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) Report is in preparation for submission under separate cover. FE reviewed the 800 MHz RF coverage differences between the WCHL site and the alternate site. Our analysis used the same antenna height as was used for the WCHL site. While the coverage obtained from the alternate site is slightly different from the WCHL site, the differences are not significant, and the alternate site provides the required RF coverage to the immediate area. Figure 11 in Section 2.1.7 shows the RF coverage for the WCHL site, and Figure 12 shows the RF coverage from the alternate site.

At the request of Orange County, FE reviewed the proposed site on Walnut Grove Church Road, and predicted 800 MHz RF coverage from this site. Figure 9, in Section 2.1.7, depicts portable talk -in RF coverage from only this site. Figure 10, in Section 1.2.7, depicts RF coverage with this site added to the overall site constellation (existing VIPER sites plus the four sites noted above. This site does provide limited fill -in of coverage areas that were below the required audio quality DAQ 3.4 levels. Orange County should review the RF coverage predictions in the subsequent sections in order to determine if the amount of additional RF coverage justifies the use of this additional site.

Our analysis shows that the paths achieve Fresnel zone clearances for each path plotted, and microwave antenna heights were determined. While only one microwave path is required, paths to two sites were investigated to provide options, Figure 13 shows the primary and secondary microwave candidate paths from each new site. Proposed microwave antenna mounting heights are listed by site in Table 4 above. North Carolina State Highway Patrol (NCSHP) noted that the sites at Laws and Eno are at capacity. This will impact the microwave path from the Caldwell area site, and alternate existing VIPER sites should be investigated.

The tower is approximately 175 ft. tall, and has two antennas and transmission lines installed. The latest information from Orange County indicates that neither of these antennas or transmission lines is in use. If an existing antenna and transmission line is used for the new VHF paging station, a structural analysis of the tower should not be necessary. However, depending on the age of the tower, a tower inspection and structural analysis would be recommended. If an existing antenna and transmission line is used for the new VHF paging station, the antenna and transmission line should be tested for acceptable performance. The antenna and line should be "swept" with a time domain reflectometer (TDR). This will provide an indication of acceptable performance as well as provide a baseline for future testing and verification. 2.2.2 Orange Grove Fire Station A new tower is proposed for the Orange Grove Fire Station to provide VHF paging coverage in the central southwest of the County. Based on the RF coverage requirements, a tower height of at least 130 ft. is needed for Fire Station paging. To allow for future expansion and other use of the tower, Orange County may consider a tower of greater height. Initial review of the Unified Development Ordinance indicates that to meet a 110% fall - zone for the tower, the new tower would be limited to 100 ft. If Orange County could secure approvals from the adjacent land owners, this fall -zone may be extended onto their properties, and the tower height increased. A full tower elevation and UDO Report is attached as a separate document. 2.2.3 Eno Mountain Site The existing Fire Station paging station at this site should be continued to be used as part of the overall County VHF paging system. August 30, 2013 Page 28 of 51 T Orange County NC 30 Radio Communication Tower and System Infrastructure Upgrade RF Coverage and Sites/Towers 2.2.E ehatharn Mountain Site Currently the Fire Station paging station and antenna are at the 1000 ft. level on the Chatham Mountain tower. At this height the FCC license limits RF power output and effective radiated power. As discussed with Orange County, a height of 150 ft. would be more appropriate for obtaining paging coverage in the southern part of the County. Also, the use of a directional antenna will enhance coverage into Orange County. Also, a site at StarPoint Storage was reviewed, to be used in lieu of the Chatham site. This site provides better RF coverage into the southeast corner of Orange County, however, RF coverage into the southwest corner is decreased. FE prepared RF Coverage maps for the StarPoint Storage site as well, which can be found in Section 2.2.5. Following discussion with Orange County, FE reviewed and analyzed the Chatham site further, to determine if adjusting the antenna height and antenna orientation would result in improved VHF RF coverage into the southeast and southwest corners of the County. By raising the antenna height to 200 ft., FE found that RF coverage could be improved in the southeast corner of the County, while not significantly reducing coverage in the southwest corner. Figure 16 shows the predicted VHF RF coverage using an antenna height of 200 ft. at the Chatham Mountain site. VHF paging coverage has been predicted and plotted, as shown in Figure 14 through 16 below.
