Request for Planning Funding
Is the Fast Track just for small agencies?
No, large agencies can fall into this more easily in some cases. If you have a high number of
units, that can turn into fairly large dollars on multi-county or other large systems. There is no
limitation on the size of the system or number of radios on the system to be eligible for Fast Track.
Any licensee submitting a PFA is eligible for Fast Track provided they meet the conditions.
$55 or less per subscriber unit
8% or less for Legal
25% or less project management
All licensees can be eligible. We would like as many licensees as possible to use the Fast Track. Ultimately
the goal for the TA and the program and licensees is to get to the FRA and reconfigure the system.
Do licensees forfeit any rights by utilizing the PFA Fast Track option?
No, you do not give up any rights by using the Fast Track Option. Make your best effort
to include ALL costs. Make your best effort to include your best known number of units on your system. If the
numbers are not right, it becomes difficult to make a judgment on whether a licensee is eligible for Fast Track.
These are the types of questions you can expect from the TA when applying for fast track.
Don't forget you are eligible for reimbursement for time spent developing the RFPF and attending training, etc as
long as you provide sufficient documentation and justification. Sprint Nextel will consider funding that has been done
ahead of time, but you must negotiate on one-to-one basis.
