Mr. Roy Rewold
Chairperson
Oakland County Board of Commissioners

Pontiac, Michigan 48053
Dear Mr. Rewold:
This letter concerns your request on behalf of the County of Oakland to waive
Section 90.629 of the Commission's Rules, 47 C.F.R. § 90.629, to extend the
slow growth implementation schedule for Public Safety800 MHz station
WNIR-926. Your original schedule called for construction and 600 mobiles by
July 1987, with 900 mobiles by July 1990 and 1000 mobiles by July 1992.
You indicate in your request that construction of the system has not yet begun
due to complex organizational and cost sharing problems that were difficult to
resolve.
Although you are not in compliance with your original schedule, you state that
an in—car terminal program is underway. Computer aided dispatch software has
been developed. Organizational and cost sharing problems that caused delays
to date have been resolved. The County Board of Commissioners has funded a
radio communications consultant to develop a request for proposals (RFP) for
bids from vendors for system design and equipment purchase.
In further support of this waiver request you state that the ten channels
associated with this system are intended to provide combined county—wide
dispatch capability for a large number of state, county and local public
safety uses. You represent that the County of Oakland is ready to open
bidding on a system costing between $2.5 million and $4 million. We
understand that there is currently $500,000 in the County's radio fund and
that County general funds are sufficient to cover the balance of the
anticipated cost.
We are granting your request on behalf of the County of Oakland to waive
Section 90.629 of the Commission's Rules after carefully reviewing the request
and determining that its grant is in the public interest, convenience and
necessity. We reached this determination on the basis of the complex
organizational and cost sharing problems you encountered that have now been
resolved, and on the basis that you have demonstrated the County has allocated
funding for construction and loading of station WNIR-926 and is prepared to go
forward with an RFP for the system.
2.
Sincerely,
Mr. Roy Rewold
As you requested, your new slow growth implementation schedule is as follows:
8-90: ,System constructed and loaded with 400 mobiles.
8-91: Total of 600 mobiles.
8-92: Total of 800 mobiles.
8-93: Total of 1000 mobiles.
Please be advised that you must adhere to your new slow growth implementation
schedule. Failure to adhere to its new criteria could result in automatic
cancellation of some or all of your channels. The new schedule may not be
changed without Commission approval of another waiver request. Multiple
requests for changes in slow growth implementation schedules are discouraged,
and are not viewed favorably.
