A RESOLUTION AFFIRMING THE CITY MANAGER'S ACTION TO ENTER INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH ONSOLVE, LLC FOR EMERGENCY COMMUNICATIONS SERVICES; APPROVING A THEN AND NOW CERTIFICATE FOR A PURCHASE MADE; AND DECLARING AN EMERGENCY.
Brief Description: This Resolution affirms the current agreement for emergency communications services, which includes our Reverse 9-1-1 calling and text messages service (CodeRED).
Body
Legislative History
Resolution No. 15-137, authorized an agreement with Emergency Communications Network through May 2019; passed Sept. 15, 2015.
Purpose & Explanation
As the City continues to enhance methods of communication during a crisis, we would like to continue our current emergency communications subscription agreement for CodeRED with OnSolve, LLC (formerly Emergency Communications Network), which proposed a new agreement effective June 2018. This included an upgrade with automatic, real-time updates of the 9-1-1 telephone database. The three-year service subscription agreement is less expensive than renewal on a year-to-year basis. The total amount of $30,300.00 will be divided into 3 annual payments of $10,100.00 and will be split 50/50 between the Administration/Communications Budget and the Fire Department Budget. An option to renew for additional three-year periods is included in the agreement.
