Chatham County, NC Text File File Number: 14-1036 Agenda Date: 12/1/2014 In Control: Emergency Operations Version: 1 Status: Approval of Agenda and Consent Agenda File Type: Contract Vote on a request to approve the Next Generation 911 Solution Contract proposed by Motorola Solutions Inc. and Intrado Communications Inc. Motion to approve a request to approve the Next Generation 911 Solution Contract proposed by Motorola Solutions Inc. and Intrado Communications Inc. Introduction & Background: The Chatham County Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) is currently Phase II compliant, meaning that the system will give a caller s location, phone number, and location coordinates for both cell and land line calls. However, the PSAP is not capable of receiving text, video, or other types of smart phone applications. The exception to this is that the PSAP can use a text telephone device (TTY) to communicate with people who are deaf or hard of hearing. This is an effective communication device, but does not allow the caller to be mobile. Discussion and Analysis: To expand the capabilities of PSAPs, the NC State 911 Board has made next generation technology a priority and is one of the 2015 goals. Next generation technology will enable communication centers to receive information in additional formats already used by the public, such as video and text. The National Emergency Numbering Association (NENA) has defined next generation standards for communication centers. The solution proposed in the Motorola/Intrado contract provides a service to Chatham County that would meet all Next Generation requirements. Budgetary Impact: This entire project is a 5 year service contract with a onetime set up fee of $24,926 and a monthly recurring payment of $16,007 and will be paid for with 911 funds. This price includes all warranties and maintenance for the 5 year service period. Currently there are two vendors that can provide Next Generation capabilities to the county. One will be Motorola/Intrado as mentioned above and the other will be Centurylink. After multiple attempts by this department to obtain a comparable product price from Centurylink beginning May of 2014 and continuing to September 23, 2014, to date they have not provided a comparable service package. Recommendation: Vote on a request to approve the Next Generation 911 Solution Contract proposed by Motorola Solutions Inc. and Intrado Communications Inc. Chatham County, NC Page 1

Introduction & Background: NC General Statute (NCGS) 162-9 requires that the Board of Commissioners approve the official bonds of the sheriff.
