Explanation
BACKGROUND: This ordinance authorizes the Director of the Department of Public Safety, on behalf of the Division of Support Services to enter into a contract with Intergraph Corporation for Premium Maintenance Services for the Computer Aided Dispatching System (CAD) starting June 1, 2017 through May 31, 2018. CAD is used to assist in processing calls from the public to the Department of Public Safety's dispatch center (both Police and Fire). The system dramatically aids the call-takers and dispatchers by electronically moving pertinent data to the proper field personnel over voice or data communications. CAD also stores data for record-keeping purposes. The Director of Public Safety contracted with Intergraph Corporation in March 2010 to replace the City's CAD system. Intergraph completed the project and went live with the new CAD system in June 2011, and the first year of the Premium Maintenance Services was in 2012. It is now necessary to enter into the services contract agreed upon in the original CAD installation contract (EL009776). The warranty period for the new systems expired on June 30, 2012.
