Summary Explanation and Background:
There is no change in the Price Schedule per end-user position in this addendum. The Price Schedule will be effective from 2022 to 2027, with an auto-renewal option to extend for additional one-year terms under the same terms and conditions.
The Board approved the current five-year Pricing Schedule in 2016 with a monthly cost of $1,083.00 per end-user position per month for a total five-year cost of $4,158,720.00.
In 2010 the Board approved an AT&T ILEC pricing schedule for the purchase, installation, and maintenance of hardware, software, and peripherals to facilitate Emergency 9-1-1 System call taking in the eleven Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs).
In 2016 the Board approved transitioning to a hosted call handling solution provided by AT&T. This change offered the same services that the County purchased in 2010, but without the capital expense of owning the equipment. Additionally, the hosted solution afforded two dedicated AT&T technicians, certified to perform maintenance and repairs on the hardware, software, and peripherals.
Through software, hardware, and peripheral upgrades, the call handling system has remained robust and unfailing for seven years, with twenty-four-seven utilization by two hundred and thirty end-users processing over three hundred thousand calls per year. Furthermore, the technicians responding to any anomaly are not only trained and certified to perform repairs and maintenance, but they are also proficient in the dynamics and customizations of the Brevard system.
Clerk to the Board Instructions:
Please have the County Manager sign and return the original to John Scott, Director, Emergency Management, 1746 Cedar Street, Rockledge, FL.
