FLORIDA :2061-0008 Honorable Doug Scurlock, Chairman Board of County Commissioners Indian River County 1840 25th Street Vero Beach, FL 32960 Dear Doug: Sorry for the delay in providing this information; however, it neces- sitated some detailed work that ultimately delayed the project. Enclosed you will find information developing the program in-house, the initial cost, provided by Don Hylton, reoccurring cost and expense of the hardware to make this system operational. The only other information available that compared hardware to hardware and software to software was -through AT&T. The first -proposal .based on a proposal by AT&T includes hardware and software, still in the developmental process, is in the amount of $-275,495., The final comparison utilized is AT&T hardware to run the Consortium CAD system in the amount of $252,495. We have compared these proposals very closely and find that taking into consideration hardware, programming and the -capability of all systems, that the AT&T_ hardware utilized for the Consortium system far exceeds that of any comparable package. For additional information, I have enclosed copies of letters receiv- ed from Command Data Systems. As you can see the text of the letter informs us that they are offering a fully functional CAD system, including training for $99,500 (this is software only). The second quote from NTE, Orlando, could be best summarized by going to the last page. The CAD system which is Phase -III for software only would run about $82,000. We received additional quotes, one from Data Sense, Tampa, which is no longer in business. The initial CAD system costs development is an estimated $40,000 plus. It would be my recommendation to the Commissioners that at this time funds be allocated immediately to allow us to join the Consortium for many obvious reasons. Consortium concept appears to be the leading edge of the latest technology developed by the public safety opera- tion and in placing us in a vendor dependency situation. We are scheduled to meet with the Consortium again as soon as the Commis- sions makes the decision. Thank you for your consideration in this matter. Sincerely, 7!i� R. T.
