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. This request seeks to add two (2) modules, Carbyne Admin Asst and Carbyne Event Assist, over the life of the contract.
