Renovation of a municipal facility in Tacoma, Washington. Completed plans call for the renovation of a municipal facility.

Project Scope: The TPU campus currently has numerous areas throughout interior conference rooms and office spaces that have little to no external cellular and Land Mobile Radio (LMR) connectivity. The demand for TPU team members to stay connected to the outside world continues to grow. This connectivity will allow staff to make and receive calls, connect with business partners outside the City of Tacoma's corporate networks, and manage/monitor TPU field team members through our LMR systems. Additionally, during an emergency such as a major storm, this technology is essential for business continuity and effective communications with team members, external agencies and business partners. The proposed Distributed Antenna System (DAS) project will allow TPU to design and implement technology that will dramatically improve cellular and LMR service throughout the TPU main campus. The system will also be designed to meet the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and in-building public safety radio coverage requirements throughout the TPU campus, including the ABS basement. Estimate: $1,200,000 Additional Information: Requests for information regarding the specifications may be obtained by contacting Tina Eide by email to teide@cityoftacoma.org.
