8 . Describe why your county will not be able to complete this project without this grant funding . We currently have $ 1 , 355 , 550 in capital funds budgeted that will allow us to replace a portion of the Indian River County Sheriff' s Department PSAP ' s equipment along with the grant funds received for that project . These funds have been budgeted to replace the same equipment in our Vero Beach Police Department PSAP , the Sebastian Police Department PSAP and the Emergency Operations Center PSAP . Award of this grant would allow us to replace all of our PSAP ' s equipment at the same time allowing the project to be more cost efficient and allow less liability . In addition , the recording equipment at our PSAPs is going on seven years old and can not be upgraded to meet the needs of new call -taking equipment . We will be replacing the recording equipment at these PSAP ' s at the same time and funds for the Indian River County Sheriff' s Department PSAP , Vero Beach PSAP and Sebastian PSAP and EOC PSAP will further reduce the amount budgeted for this project . 9 . Briefly describe how this grant project would be in concurrence with the State E911 Plan . To insure continued operations of the county' s E911 system , the current CPE equipment needs immediate replacement . Indian River County has through careful planning and a very conservative approach been able to budget $ 1 , 355 , 550 . 00 for this project . If we can schedule and implement a county wide replacement of equipment we will be able to save thousands of dollars in installation fees and training costs . Our goal is to continue to provide the best possible service to the residents of Indian River County with the least amount of funds . Our ambition is to place the same equipment in each of our four PSAPs creating an environment that is both cost efficient and user friendly to all 911 Call Takers in Indian River County . 10 . Describe the required steps and an anticipated schedule or time frame with procurement and payment milestones and completion date . Indian River County will be completing the bid process for replacement CPE equipment for the Indian River County Sheriff' s Office PSAP this month and we are hopeful that once that process is completed we will be able to piggy back the replacement equipment for the remaining PSAPs from this same bid saving the additional time needed for the bid process . In addition to that , we have made arrangements to purchase recording equipment through the HGAC , Houston , Galveston Area Council , purchasing agreement which will also save time . Orders for all four PSAP ' s will be placed as soon as the bidding process is completed . Our goal is to have orders placed for all CPE equipment by August 1 , 2011 with a delivery date sometime in October , 2011 . Ideally , payment for equipment will be scheduled during the bidding process with final payment upon completion . Our objective is to complete the project without having to debt service any of the needed funding .
