Commissioners at the next scheduled meeting. <br />DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS: <br />On August 9, 2016, the Board of County Commissioners approved the public safety radio system <br />P25 Migration Project. During the migration period, the county will be operating both the <br />EDACS and P25 radio systems concurrently to maintain a public safety level of service, stable <br />operations, and functionality until completion of the project. An integral part of the EDACS and <br />P25 system is the FX Software. <br />On September 11, 2018, the Board of County Commissioners approved Communications <br />International as a sole source for the public safety radio system FX Software Services. The FX <br />Software provides enhancements and corrections to public safety EDACS and P25 backbone and <br />radio components. It also assures the County that any new generation radios, hand-held or <br />mobile units, would seamlessly integrate into our communication network. The contract <br />provided for renewal or extension of the contract in one (1) year increments for a total of five (5) <br />years upon mutual consent of the parties. This base contract for services expired on September <br />30, 2019, and the proposed FY 2019/2020 contract renewal represents extension number one (1) <br />of the original contract. <br />The proposed FY 2019/2020 FX Software agreement will cover all necessary upgrades for the <br />P25 system. The EDACS system will be covered under the same agreement at no charge until <br />the EDACS system is taken out of service. <br />18 <br />
