MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
Between
Governor's Office of Information Technology, (OIT)
Public Safety Communications Network
And the
Town of Vail
1. Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)
This Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) is entered into by and among the Town of Vail, 75
South Frontage Road, Vail, Colorado 81657, hereinafter referred to as the "Receiving Agency"
and the State of Colorado, Governor's Office of Information Technology, Public Safety
Communication Network, 601 East 18th Avenue, Denver, CO 80203, hereinafter referred to as
the "State", and jointly referred to as the "Parties".
2. Purpose:
This MOU shall define the framework for allowing the State and the Receiving Agency to benefit
from State supported and planned upgrades and updates of public safety statewide digital trunked
radio (DTR) system software. This MOU shall specifically address a series of five (5) planned
software upgrades from SR 7.14 through SR 7.25 on equipment owned by the Receiving Party at RF
sites and dispatch centers owned or controlled by the Receiving Party.
The Parties have functionally connected their respective Radio Systems and this MOU documents
the sharing of resources to the mutual benefit of all Parties.
3. Statement of Mutual Interests and Benefits:
The Parties, through cooperation in the DTR system, provide a public safety communications
capability serving state Agency and participating local, regional, Tribal and Federal government
entities. It is in the best interest and for the greater benefit of all users of the DTR system to
improve public safety communications by State, Local, Regional, Tribal and Federal Governments
sharing resources and capabilities.
The sharing of communications resources are actions that may substantially reduce costs and
enhance interoperable communications for local, county, state, tribal and federal public safety
providers.
DTR system upgrades and enhancements performed in concert and across the system provide the
greatest benefit and advantage to all DTR system users. As part of its participation in the DTR
system, the State is seeking to improve public safety communications across the state by providing
a series of system wide software upgrades to the shared resources and capabilities. The State has
appropriated and budgeted funds for such DTR system software upgrades, and the State will
proceed with the upgrades regardless of the existence or termination of this MOU.
Maintaining DTR system consistency and stability are critical to the reliable performance of the
system statewide. In order to maintain system software consistency, routine MOTOPATCH
software patches and system security updates provided by Motorola, and downloaded to the
State's Master Zone, will be pushed to all connected DTR system components by the State
engineering staff.
4. Cooperators Agree:
4.1 The installation of DTR system software upgrades on Receiving Agency owned
computer equipment at RF sites and in dispatch centers in no way changes Receiving
Agency ownership or otherwise alters control of Receiving Agency owned
equipment. Receiving Agency reserves the right to refuse the installation of DTR
system software upgrades on Receiving Agency owned equipment at RF sites and in
Receiving Agency dispatch centers. It is understood that by refusing installation of
DTR system software upgrades Receiving Agency risks the loss of public safety
communications interoperability, and in some cases operability, capabilities
currently offered by the DTR system. Receiving Agency fully and completely
understands that all integrated components of the DTR system must operate on the
same System Release software version. Refusal of the installation of this software
upgrade will make any component not receiving the software upgrade/s
incompatible with the DTR system. Receiving Agency DTR system components
identified as incompatible with the DTR system will require disconnection from the
Master Zone.
4.2 Unless specifically authorized in this MOU, neither Party, nor their representative
shall adjust, maintain or otherwise touch equipment owned by another without
written agreement to do so prior to adjustment, maintenance or other action taking
place.
4.2.1 Receiving Agency is fully and completely responsible for ensuring its
hardware meets Motorola specifications to remain operational with the new
System Release software. Equipment malfunctions due to software upgrades
provided by the State for this system wide upgrade shall be reported to the
Receiving Agency's authorized Motorola Dealer for service or repair. The
Service Level Agreement (SLA) located in the CCNC Policy and Procedure
Manual (http://www.ccncinc.org) shall be considered the standard for
service and repair of defective or malfunctioning equipment or software.
4.3 Parties agree to establish and maintain safety and security guidelines for site user
representatives to follow when accessing the sites.
4.4 State shall work in concert with Receiving Agency to plan and schedule installation
of software updates. Every effort will be made to give ample time and opportunity
for Receiving Agency to prepare for the State installation, testing and monitoring of
the new software and equipment.
Receiving Agency understands and expects there will be limited disruption in service
during the installation of software updates on dispatch console equipment and
equipment at RF sites. State and its agents and contractors will make every effort
to limit the disruption in service to the shortest duration possible.
4.5 Receiving Agency grants permission to the State and its authorized employees,
agents, and contractors to enter its associated buildings, easements and rights-of-
way to install, test, and operate the software provided for in Exhibit A to this MOU;
provided that proper advance arrangements are made with the Receiving Agency
owning such buildings, easements and rights-of-way.
4.6 For purposes of this MOU, the State agrees to purchase and provide for the
installation, testing, and monitoring of the DTR system software updates/upgrades
from SR 7.14 to SR 7.25 as defined in the attached Exhibit A.
4.6.1 This MOU is inclusive of installation, testing, and monitoring of DTR system
software updates/upgrades to Receiving Agency expansion
transmitters/repeaters and dispatch console positions acquired during the
full term of the MOU, at no additional cost to the Receiving Agency.
4.7 Receiving Agency agrees that acceptance of the DTR system software upgrade/s
obligates the Receiving Agency to remain an active, connected, and integral partner
of the DTR system for a minimum period of two (2) years from the completion and
acceptance of each software upgrade. Software upgrades are scheduled to
commence during the third quarter of calendar year 2017 and will occur biennially
until the final software upgrade to SR 7.25 is completed in calendar year 2025.
4.7.1 Should the Receiving Agency elect to disconnect or otherwise cease
participation with the DTR system prior to the agreed upon term, Receiving
Agency shall be responsible for reimbursement to the State for an
apportioned cost of the DTR system upgrade cost incurred by the State
during this system -wide upgrade.
4.7.1.1 State investment in this series of five (5) upgrades specifically
provided to Receiving Agency infrastructure is: $ 306,750.00
4.7.1.2 Apportioned cost shall equate to $ 61,350.00 for each of the
five (5) scheduled software upgrades taken by the Receiving
Agency.
4.8 Motorola MCC7500 console hardware upgrades may be required for continued
operation on one or more of the new system software platforms. It is the full
responsibility, and at the sole expense, of the Receiving Agency to upgrade their
console hardware to be compatible with the new system software prior to each of
the system wide software upgrades.
4.9 Logging recorders not supported by Motorola may require hardware and/or
software upgrades for continued operation on one or more of the new system
software platforms. It is the full responsibility, and at the sole expense, of the
Receiving Agency to upgrade their logging recorder hardware and/or software to be
compatible with the new system software prior to each of the system wide
software upgrades.
5. Term:
The term of this MOU shall begin upon final signature on the document and shall expire on
June 30, 2025.
5.1 Receiving Agency participation in each of the planned upgrades will be

than those which may be specifically set forth herein or in exhibits hereto.
8. Nondedication of Equipment:
The Parties do not intend to dedicate, and nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as
constituting a dedication by any Party of its rights, or equipment, or any part thereof, to the
other Parties or any customer or member of the other Party.
9. Uncontrollable Forces:
No Party shall be considered to be in default in performance of any of its obligations under
this Agreement when a failure of performance shall be due to an uncontrollable force. The
term "uncontrollable force" means any cause beyond the control of the Party affected
including, but not restricted to, failure or threat of failure of facilities, flood, earthquake,

labor or material shortage, sabotage, restraint by court order or public authority or action or
non -action by, or failure to obtain the necessary authorizations or approvals from, any
governmental Agency or authority, which by exercise of due diligence and foresight such
Party could not reasonably have been expected to avoid and which by exercise of due
diligence it shall be unable to overcome. Nothing contained herein shall be construed to
require a Party to settle any strike or labor dispute in which it is involved. Any Party
rendered unable to fulfill any obligation under this Agreement by reason of uncontrollable
force shall give prompt written notice of such fact to the other Party and shall exercise due
diligence to remove such inability with all reasonable dispatch.
