The response from Ericsson indicated $19,800 for System <br />Engineering; $7,700 for Program Management; and $77,733 for Installation. Ericsson noted in <br />the letter of explanation dated December 4, 1998, that System Engineering involves everything <br />from system audit to final acceptance which includes assisting with system audits, developing <br />exact equipment requirements, aid in entering the equipment order, provide technical assistance <br />during implementation and final functional testing. The Program Manager will be responsible <br />for setting up the scheduling of all resources, handling invoicing, and bringing the project to final <br />completion. The Installation and Project Support includes the changing of each console CPU <br />and any software programming, modifications to the console switch (IMC), and labor required to <br />perform the functional testing of the radio system. In the same letter alluded to above, Ericsson <br />advised the quotes were based on the County's radio system complexity and the estimated <br />number of days required to perform each task. If the project takes longer than estimated, there <br />will be no additional charge to the County. <br />The Y2K Upgrade Proposal includes a Year 2000 Readiness Warranty which is located in <br />Section 2 (Page 12-15) of the referenced document. Staff is requesting an Ericsson <br />representative to be present at the Commission Meeting on February 16, 1999, to answer any <br />additional questions the Board may have regarding this matter. <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />To preclude any interruption in providing public safety and other services in the County, staff <br />recommends approval of the Ericsson Year 2000 Proposal Upgrade and Contract for the 800 <br />MHZ Simulcast Communications System with funding from the Optional One Cent Sales Tax <br />revenue or other funding sources as the Board deems appropriate. <br />FEBRUARY 16, 1999 <br />-59- :BOOK JOB FAGE3 93 <br />
