March 14, 2016 From: Donald A. Lamb, Jr. 911 Systems Engineer, Department of management Services, E911 To: Ms. Paula Cantlon Indian River 911 Database Coordinator Subject: Replacement servers for 911 Recording Indian River County Good Day Ms. Cantlon, I have reviewed your request to use some of your Funding Reserve to purchase a repiacement recording system for the Indian River PSAPs. I believe after reviewing your options that it only makes sense to go with Option Three (3). Although Options One and Two are less expensive they in themselves would potentially be just short term fixes and would need replaced in a very short time Your presentation: Option One *Takes a full day minimum not including full backup of current data. *Replace 2 —1TB SATA Drives *Replace 1 —1 TB USB Drive *Up to 4 hours of remote support *Additional cost for outside support from AK Associates. *Current maintenance agreement covers warranty. Option 1 cost Is $13,000.00 Option Two *Higher Ground provides a reconditioned fully configured recorder along with a USB drive to transfer the old data to the new recorder *Cost would be 2/3 of new hardware cost plus cost for professional services *Upon return of old recorders they would refund up to Y2 the cost of the refurbished recorders. *Current maintenance agreement covers warranty. i Option 2 cost is $44894.00. Option Three *Purchase new fully configured recorders that are essentially plug and play. The only required work on installation would be to migrate the stored data to the new recorders and remove the old equipment. Total cost for new equipment for four PSAP's is $67,006.00. My recommendation would be to utilize option three. While the current equipment is only four years old, I can't see putting a minimum of $3,000.00 per location or $15,000.00 into the outdated equipment. Option two provides for refurbished equipment and again, you are buying old 64
