From the meeting
The county identified repeated Comcast outages that threatened the link between the radio communication towers and the Dispatch Center. Staff recommended buying a second fiber connection with the same bandwidth as a backup. The first six months could be covered by the VDEM Local Emergency Management Performance Grant, with about $7,200 a year expected later.
This is a funded resilience need, and the next conversation is likely about vendor terms and long-term operating cost.

Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
