EVALUATION COMMITTEE RELATED TO REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS
(RFP) NO. 36-04/05 -- DESIGN, DEPLOYMENT, AND MAINTENANCE OF A
ClTYWIDE WIRELESS NETWORK (WiFi).
The purpose of this LTC is to update the Mayor and City Commission on Request for
Proposals (RFP) No. 36-04/05, which seeks to implement a "state of the art" system
which will satisfy all of the City's current requirements, as specified in the RFP, yet be
simple to maintain and inexpensive to upgrade and expand to satisfy future needs for
additional functionality and/or capacity.
Additionally, the City seeks to establish the use of wireless broadband technology to
strengthen public safety, increase government efficiency in delivery of services, and
provide a basic level of access to City residents and visitors. Specifically, the City plans
to use wireless broadband technology to support:
· Public safety mobile access citywide;
· Mobile access for other Miami Beach government agencies;
· Hot zone access for targeted commercial areas; and
Recurring cost savings for internal government network use.
