Management Information Services Division " ' ' <br /> Memoranclum No.95-10 <br /> Page 4 , <br /> longer lead time activities: the purchase of the software, dispatch console electronics, mobile <br /> data computers and associated radio frequency infrastructure, file conversion, and <br /> miscellaneous professional services components of the overall system. Staff is currently in the <br /> process of bidding those remaining components not covered by this action: console furniture, <br /> electronic call logging and recording systems, dispatch center computer hardware and <br /> operating system software, room renovation, the electronic telephone system, and, <br /> provisionally, the automated vehicle location systems The overall pace of communications <br /> center modernization will not be affected by deferring these acquisitions pending final design <br /> of the new dispatch facility. Final costs for these remaining components are not expected to <br /> exceed those shown in the rightmost column of Enclosure 1. For those cost elements not yet <br /> firmed up, staff will return for council approval prior to accepting any bids. <br /> RECONIlVIENDATIONS: Given the relatively modest increase in functionality to be derived <br /> from the greatly increased costs of the IBM proposal, staff recommends the Electrocom/HTE <br /> technical solution. In view of the cost savings possible if City staff assumes the integrating role, <br /> staff further recommends that approach. We recommend therefore that Council approve the <br /> three attached resolutions regarding purchase of equipment, software, and professional services, <br /> to include installation, training, and service support, in the amounts shown. <br /> Staff will be available at the meeting to answer any questions that you may have. <br /> 4 Encl <br />
