Title

Vote to approve a contract with Priority Dispatch Corp. in the amount of $124,539.80 for Priority Dispatch Corp. for emergency police dispatch (EPD) protocols and associated software and license fees for the 911 center

 

 

Abstract

Introduction & Background:  This contract is for one time set up fees as well as yearly maintenance of the emergency dispatch protocols and associated products the Emergency Communications Center (ECC) uses for processing law enforcement calls for service.  The ECC currently uses emergency medical dispatch (EMD) and emergency fire dispatch (EFD) protocols.

                     

Discussion & Analysis:  The ECC uses EMD and EFD for processing medical and fire calls and the addition of EPD will allow for processing law enforcement calls in the same standardized manner. 

 

How does this relate to the Comprehensive Plan: Ensure public safety through adequate resources, plans, and partnerships to keep people and property safe.

 

Budgetary Impact:  $124,539.80

                     

Recommendation/Motion:  Motion to approve a contract with Priority Dispatch Corp. in the amount of $124,539.80 for emergency police dispatch protocols
