Chandler, County Administrator FROM: Doug Wright, Director Emergency Services � DATE: December 28, 1999 SUBJECT: Approval Of BellSouth Special Service Agreement To Upgrade 9-1-1 Public Safety Answering Point Telephone Devices for the Deaf It is respectfully requested that the information contained herein be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at the next regular scheduled meeting. DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS: As part of the process of upgrading the electronics in the two 9-1-1 public safety answering points (PSAP) in the County for Y2K replacement of the existing telephone devices for the deaf (TDD) is required. This upgrade is recommended for both the Indian River County Sheriffs Office Central Communications Center and the Vero Beach Police Department Communications Center, due to the compatibility with the current 911 Positron telephone equipment, the computer aided dispatch (CAD) equipment and year 2000 compliance. The Agreement provides for the installation of the Positron Express TDD equipment for a one-time installation charge of $193.00/per unit and a recurring fee of $23.00 per month/unit for a period of 60 months. Additionally, a non-recurring one time contract preparation charge of $283.00 will be applied. The funds for payment of the recurring fees and other costs associated with equipment at the PSAP's are derived from the $.50 per phone line surcharge authorized by State statute. Funds to pay for the installation and recurring monthly charges are budgeted in the Communications Center (001-107) telephone account. January 11, 2000 18
