Telecommunications Projects and Services
Motorola “1st Responders” Project on behalf of the State of Missouri from 6/12 - Present
Motorola “1st Responders” Project on behalf of the State of Nebraska from 9/12 – Present
Motorola “1st Responders” Project on behalf of the City of KCMO from 10/09 – Present
P/Strada provided project management and project engineer design support on this $34M system upgrade. Leading this initiative was a Sr. project manager with 23 years of telecom industry experience. P/Strada procured $2M of Alcatel Lucent product, design and engineering services and established relationships with 14 vendors in support of this project. Other key areas P/Strada was responsible for included securing the fleet mapping services and the coordination of the City’s communication system installations in the fleet cars, pumpers and various vehicles.
Our “greening” program successfully recycled the obsolete equipment through our “zero landfill initiative” that benefits the City of KCMO and Motorola through the EPA compliance programs. P/Strada provided a secure bonded warehouse with the capability of receiving, inventorying and delivering product to the tower sites. We coordinated all of the site rewiring, site modifications and the installation of VoIP at the required sites. P/Strada hired the teams for the DAQ testing to capture data to test over 12,000 grids as a quality measure. Additionally, we provided individuals to fulfill administrative roles as required for note taking at various meetings, transcription of notes to a DVD and to work at the Motorola office to assist with various project related tasks.
An example of our E-Waste “greening” initiative on this project involved removing antennas, satellite dishes and other obsolescent equipment as requested by the client from selected tower sites. These items were demilled and disposed of under the strictest of quality standards and in a “zero landfill” manner that complied with the EPA government specifications.

We also had been contracted to provide 23 employees at the U.S. Citizen and Immigration Services facility in St. Albens, VT to fulfill a task order at this location. These roles all require confidential security clearance. The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) needed to acquire records management and processing services for its Service Center Direct Mail Program. P/Strada was one of the very few subcontractors selected by Stanley and Associations to staff this contract.
P/Strada’s position on this contract was highly visible due to the impact our employees had on the metrics being measured. The records management tasks we fulfilled involved mail operations, data collection, feed collection, and files operations. Other tasks performed were recording the receipt, processing, and delivery of incoming and outgoing mail for all components in the Service Centers and for the USCIS Regional Headquarters for the Western Region. This included handling registered mail, which is an authorized means of transmitting classified information at the Secret level. All mail was routed, processed, and accounted for in a manner that optimized proper file management and security, expedited data collections and maintained financial accountability.
The P/Strada management team executes the overall supervision of this contract to include meeting all deliverable requirements to our program management practices of streamlined management, risk mitigation and quality control plans.
