Fulton County approves new dispatch clocks, grant-funded regional support and two‑year hazmat agreement
Summary
The county approved replacement dispatch clocks for $4,940, a fully grant-funded Mission Critical Partners regional support contract for 2026, and a two‑year Hazmat Team agreement with McCUTCHEON Enterprises that carries $2,500 in FY2026 and $7,500 in FY2027.
Fulton County commissioners on Dec. 23 authorized upgrades and contracts for emergency services, including replacement dispatch clocks, a grant‑funded support contract and a two‑year hazmat-team agreement.
EMA/911 Director Brian Barton told the board that the current dispatch clocks are more than 20 years old and need replacement. Barton said the county’s "Pre Alert" system is in place and that information has been distributed to local fire departments. Commissioners approved a ComPros quote for two dispatch clocks, including hardware and installation, at a total cost of $4,940.00.
The board also approved the 2026 Mission Critical Partners Regional Support Contract for professional services, which the minutes record as fully grant funded. In a separate action, commissioners approved a two‑year Hazmat Team agreement with McCUTCHEON Enterprises, Inc., with payments of $2,500.00 for fiscal year 2026 and $7,500.00 for fiscal year 2027.
Why it matters: replacing long‑served dispatch equipment is intended to sustain emergency communications. The Mission Critical Partners contract is grant funded; the hazmat agreement commits county funds across two fiscal years as recorded in the meeting.
What’s next: procurement and installation plans for the ComPros clocks and contract execution steps for Mission Critical Partners and McCUTCHEON Enterprises will proceed under department authority.
