Explanation
BACKGROUND: This ordinance authorizes the Board of Health to modify an existing contract with Intrado Life & Safety Solutions Corporation (Ord 1593-2023), for the maintenance, setup and connectivity of four additional 911 Viper Phone Systems for the Right Response Unit with Columbus Public Health’s Neighborhood Social Services program, for the period of December 1, 2023 through December 31, 2026, in an amount not to exceed $68,840.97 for a new contract total amount of $1,338,518.04.
The current contract is a five-year agreement that will further enhance the 911 System to assure that it stays National Emergency Number (NENA) compliant. The City of Columbus operates a fully redundant, geo-diverse set of Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) controllers that currently support operations at the Columbus wireless PSAP and the Columbus backup PSAP. The Division of Support Services upgraded the existing 911 system in 2012 with an additional upgrade in 2016 for text to 911 compatibility. This current upgrade will procure new hardware as well as upgrade the software to ensure compliance with NENA standards and to provide continued services. The modification will add four 911 Viper Phone Systems for the Right Response Unit’s (RRU) use.
Bid Information: This is being executed in accordance with the sole source provisions of Chapter 329 of the Columbus City Codes. Intrado Life & Safety Solutions Corporation is the proprietary software licensing and maintenance contractor for the City's current 911 System.
FISCAL IMPACT: $68,840.97 is fully budgeted in the American Rescue Plan Act fund and does not require a city match.
