integrity and distance from the primary EOC, meaning it is less
likely that even a major earthquake would disable both the
primary and alternate EOC sites.
As is outlined in the attached report from the Director of
General Services, some additional and upgraded communications
work must be done to insure that the alternate EOC will be able
to access the microwave system in order to maintain emergency
communications in case of a major disaster. In order to
accomplish this the above recommendations are made.

SUBJECT: Alternate EOC
In response to your inquiry regarding the status of the alternate.
EOC, attached is a very detailed report from our Communications
Division.
As to the current status of the project, no funds have been made
available to the General Services Department, nor have any work
orders been .processed to accomplish the necessary actions.
The reason for the February date is directly related to the
disconnection of service for DRCC. As we are redirecting the
microwave paths that are currently being used by DRCC, the system
cannot be operational until after February 1, 1991, the projected
DRCC shutdown date.

Delta Fair. This switch is served with both Centrex and
non-Centrex telephone lines.

entire telephone system could be utilized by the OES
operation.
It is estimated that any additional telephone instruments and
associated equipment ;that would be necessary will amount to
+( -)$2,000.
The estimated cost toiequip the alternate EOC with minimal
telephone service from the "tactical phone system"would also
be +(-) $2,000.
MICROWAVE/RADIO —TIME & MATERIAL COST
Tower (installed) at Delta Fair $ 8,000
6 way bridge 900
2 - 4db attenuators 800
High performance antenna 8 ,000
Five remotes j 6,000

Barton J. Gilbert -2- September 24, 1990
The following can be done between now and February 1, 1991 (DRCC
shutdown) .

two 4db attenuators.
- Obtain FCC licenses.
- Order and modify five remotes.
- Have 25' tower installed at Delta Fair.
- Refurbish and install;the multiplex rack at Delta Fair. This
rack was removed from 651 Pine after the Sheriff's
Communications move.
- Install high-performance. dish and 6-way bridge at Kregor.
The following must wait for the DRCC shutdown.
Shut down DRCC microwave. Remove both dishes, all wave
guides, and install 6GHz dish on Kregor (with elliptical
guide) .
Remove the two microwave terminals from DRCC and reinstall
both on Kregor Peak. Install the new high-performance dish
antenna.
Realign the Highland-Kregor path for normal closed loop
operation.
- Remove the batteries hand 24V chargers f'rom. DRCC and install at
Delta Fair.

Items Pending
1. ' Emergency Power - Initial discussions regarding emergency
power recommended u1sing the OES 5 or 6 KW portable generator
(or a rented portable generator) . Certain electrical
circuits that would be needed in an emergency would need to
be reworked. These! circuits would be brought to a new panel
in the equipment room where the portable generator could be
plugged. Since this is a . 110 volt power requirement, OES
would have to coordinate this with Building Maintenance.
2. Other communications requirements such as facsimile, video,
ring-down circuits ; etc. have not been specified.
Therefore, there is no dollar amount estimated on these
items.
3 . A storage cabinet to house communications items such as
remotes, plug-in telephones, etc. will need to be provided
(or constructed) .
