| | | | | | | | BACKGROUND Public Safety Communications (PSC) is requesting to purchase and connect four (4) Motorola VESTA 9-1-1 Command Post Workstations from AT&T as part of our alternate site expansion. The workstations will add further call taking capacity at our alternate site.
AT&T is the contracted maintenance provider (#2017-0380-C) for all hardware, software, and services pertaining to the current Motorola VESTA 9-1-1 system. The purchase of the additional workstations and connection to our existing system can only be provided by our current contractor, thus requiring a sole source purchase.
The cost of the four (4) Command Post Workstations, inclusive of all hardware, software, extended warranties, and services is $135,519.
Not purchasing these workstations would limit the call taking capacity for 9-1-1 calls and non-emergency calls that can be received and handled at our alternate site. |
| | | | | | | | FINANCIAL SUMMARY/STRATEGIC GOALS Funds are available in the 9-1-1 Wireline Fees Fund for the purchase and installation of four (4) VESTA 9-1-1 Command Post Workstations at the Alternate site (EOC). The total estimated amount for this purchase is $135,519, leaving a balance of $89,486 which will be returned to the 9-1-1 Wireline Fees Fund balance and available for future purchases.
Approval of this item will support the City's Strategic Plan Critical Success Factors of being an Excellent, Innovative, and Accountable City Government with Safe, Vibrant Neighborhoods. |
