Board approves multi-year dispatch agreements with RapidSOS and Motorola, plus maintenance contract

Pursuant to the Properties Committee recommendations, the board authorized three Central Dispatch contract actions. Commissioner Bryan Zender moved to approve a five-year agreement with RapidSOS Unite at $26,300 annually (total $131,500) for NextGen location and data services for 911; Commissioner Kevin Knisely supported the motion and it carried. The board also approved a five-year renewal with Motorola for the Emergency Callworks (ECW) 911 phone system at an annual installment of $24,257.40 and a three-year preventive maintenance agreement with Liebert for the dispatch air-conditioning units (total $12,004). All costs will be charged to Central Dispatch fund lines and are recorded as not requiring additional general-fund support.
