5. Describe your county's existing E911 system. Include specific information on
existing system equipment upgrades and when the installation of this equipment
was completed.
The Sheriff's Department has a Primary PSAP in Vero Beach which direct dispatches
law enforcement calls throughout the unincorporated area. This PSAP also direct
dispatches fire and rescue calls throughout the county including the City of Vero Beach
and the City of Sebastian. However, the cities of Sebastian and Vero Beach each have
a primary PSAP for their respective Police Departments. The Indian River County
Emergency Operations Center serves as the County backup. The system is type 4 -
Wireless Phase II compliant. Our equipment consists of a Geo -Diverse Solacom
Selective Router, upgraded November 2018, with Side A in the EOC and Side B in the
Sheriff's Office.
6. Describe the scope of work for the proposed project including any goal(s) and
objectives. Include the tasks to be performed as part of the project. Provide
scope of work in quantifiable units of deliverables that shall be received and
accepted. For each deliverable specify the required minimum level of service to
be performed and the criteria for evaluating the successful completion of each
deliverable.
Phase One: Project Initiation
Introductions and identification of project team members and roles
Timeline and deliverable review
Project approach review
Project communication methods
Review process for GIS data submission
Review the Map data requirements and data submission form
Phase Two: Software Map Build
Indian River County's GIS data schema transformed into the Map data schema
A map package (.mmpk) will be created for use within the Map
A GIS data, MSAG, and ALI database Analysis report will be delivered, following the
analysis completion
Creation of local area configuration file (.mmds), if local imagery is loaded into the
Map.
Phase Three: System Configuration and Implementation
Install and configure the proposed software
Configure settings and features
Assist in standard system set up
Application for E911 State Grant Program , revised 01/2018
Page 12
W Form 3A, incorporated by reference in Fla. Admin. Code R. 60FF1-5.003 E911 State Grant
Phase Four: System Training
Phase Five: Acceptance Test Plan Execution
After the software is implemented and training is complete, a software acceptance test
plan will be created to ensure the final installation has been tested.
Phase Six: Software Support and Maintenance
Support Desk Services
Remote Connection Services
Recurring Map Package Creation
Software Updates and Enhancements
Software Reinstallation
Each phase will be continuously monitored by the County 911 Coordinator, to ensure
proper project completion and seamless transition.
7. Justification of the need for the proposed project. Provide detailed information
on the existing system's condition including a detailed justification for any
system with an expected remaining life of less than 1 year on system, standalone
equipment or Software(SW) replacement, addition or upgrade requests.
The current call taking map has been in use since 2011 and no longer fits the County's
needs for usability and adaptability. The company is not offering any upgrades and we
have a current year-to-year maintenance agreement. Since the map was first installed,
the company has changed hands, and customer support struggles to understand the
County's unique setup. The map itself is not intuitive to users, has limited zoom, does
not have integrated RapidSOS, and is lacking in features such as bookmark creation,
markups, indoor floorplans, etc. Updating the map data is a long and complicated
process when compared to competitors' maps. Disseminating the map data across the
network to each PSAP uses an unsupported third party freeware. In short, the current
map does not align with the County's NG911 goals.
8. Describe why your county will not be able to complete this project without this
grant funding.
The transition to a new map was not budgeted and a budget amendment would not be
feasible. Should this grant be denied, it would delay in providing Indian River County's
PSAPs innovative technology necessary for NG911.

9. Briefly describe how this grant project would be in concurrence with the State
E911 Plan.
Indian River County presently has Enhanced 911 and Phase II as defined in the
State E911 Plan. It is our goal to assure that the County's E911 system is
maintained to meet the State E911 Plan's requirements for the safety and
protection of our residents and visitors.
10. Describe the required steps with an anticipated time schedule with procurement
and payment milestones and a total project completion date.
