A TRUE COPY <br />CERTIFICATION ON LAST PAGE <br />RYAN L. BUTLER, CLERK <br />The county 911 coordinator will monitor and review the project with the vendor <br />continually through the project schedule to assure the level of service is provided <br />and the system is being installed and maintained in operable working conditions. <br />8. Justification of the need for the proposed project. Provide detailed information <br />on the existing systems/components that need replacement. Document the <br />condition with details to justify any system with an expected lifespan of less <br />than one year. Each component on the system, (e g. memory, hardware, size of <br />drives), updates of software and/or replacement versions needed, standalone <br />equipments and additional upgrades jinclude UPSZ must be listed in the <br />requests. <br />NG911 requires both an ESlnet and Next Generation Core Services (NGCS). ESlnet <br />is a critical element, and the networking backbone, upon which Indian River County <br />can build services toward a Next Generation 911 system. Adding Next -Gen Core <br />Services (NGCS) which include emergency voice and text call routing, location <br />information database services, network integration, and disaster recovery. <br />9. Describe why your county, group of counties or region will not be able to <br />complete this project without this grant funding. <br />A comparison of legacy 911 cost and NG 911 costs indicates at least a 35% increase <br />in costs. Additionally, the .40 monthly fee in Florida is one of the lowest in the <br />country. Grant funds are needed to implement and sustain these Next Gen projects. <br />Multiple Next Gen projects in the region and state are already earmarked, taking a <br />direct toll on 9-1-1 budgets. The Florida regional grant rule and application process <br />is crucial for each participating county to compete the transition to Next Generation <br />911. <br />10.
