County approves NG911 upgrade and backup-recorder purchase; state grant to reimburse costs
Summary
Cayuga County authorized a contract with Motorola Solutions for a NextGen 911 telephone system upgrade ($983,803) and an agreement with Interaction Insight Corp. for a backup recorder and QA/AI services ($114,798). The items are to be funded via the NYS NG911 grant program (100% reimbursement).
The Cayuga County Legislature authorized procurement actions to modernize the county’s 911 communications. Resolution 80-26 authorizes the Chair to sign a contract with Motorola Solutions for a Next Generation 911 (NG911) telephone system upgrade, with a contract amount listed as $983,803. The minutes note that the project will be 100% reimbursed through the New York State NG911 Grant program.
Related authority (Resolution 81-26) approved signing an agreement with Interaction Insight Corporation for a new Eventide backup recorder, QA/AI services and an AIS upgrade for the backup 911 Center in the amount of $114,798. The record notes Interaction Insight as the current vendor and justifies sole-source procurement because the product integrates with the existing recording system. The Director of Purchasing and the Legislature recorded motions approving the contracts "as to form" by the County Attorney and noted the use of grant funds for full reimbursement.
Public-safety committee chair Mark Strong moved the Motorola item and motions on both items were recorded as adopted by the Legislature.
