PURPOSE:
Awarded by the BOC on February 11, 2025 for an amount not to exceed $8,128,791.04. This contract consists of a five (5) year agreement with AT&T for the upgrade to the County’s 911 system. The emergency purchase of the sole source “ESinet” 911 system with the “APEX” add on features from Carbyne Ltd., provides for a new AT&T 911 system using relatively new technology that is based on computer-to-computer communication and not the previously used voice-to-computer communication. This change facilitates faster processing of calls which inherently includes improved/faster response times. The emergency sole source purchase will improve the 911 center by implementing an upgrade from voice-to-computer communication to computer-to-computer communication and gain the benefit of the improved system. The upgrade will avoid any unnecessary delay in processing a call and the inherent potential risk to health and safety. On July 7, 2026, the BOC approved Change Order No. 1 to add two (2) modules, Carbyne Admin Asst and Carbyne Event Assist, over the life of the contract for an amount not to exceed $1,219,732.00 This request seeks to ratify an increase to the contract funds for the purchase of Genovation Control Pads and additional third-party hardware for system functionality.
