The Regional Operations Center at 2000 Radcliff Drive Cincinnati, Ohio 45204 houses an emergency operations center that supports both the City of Cincinnati and Hamilton County, Ohio. The primary purpose of the EOC is to serve as the central point from which the City and County can provide interagency coordination and executive decision making in support of incident response and recovery operations through emergency management activities. The EOC may be activated for pre-planned events or for emergency situations resulting from natural, technical, or human-caused hazards in the City or County. Activation may require operations that last 24 hours for weeks at a time. As actions and decisions that support life safety occur in an emergency operations center, any equipment proposed for this project must be designed to support these operations. The emergency operations center currently has a large video wall (12 feet high by 36 feet wide), 3 rear projector displays, and 6 monitors to support displaying around the main operations room. This project will focus on transitioning from the large video wall to a 2-projector based system on the front display wall. New control touch panels will also be replaced and reprogrammed to support the new equipment. Applicable existing equipment that supports the display wall will need to be removed and disposed of. Some existing equipment that controls the room will not be replaced and will need to be reprogrammed an integrated to support both the new equipment and existing monitors, projectors, lights, shades, etc. Additionally, new equipment will need to be furnished, installed, programmed, integrated, and tested.
