Orange County opens bids for 911 call‑handling replacement; three proposals received
Summary
County staff opened three proposals for replacement 911 call‑handling equipment and asked commissioners to take the bids under advisement while staff review technical details and costs that ranged from one‑time charges of ~$57,805 to recurring first‑year fees above $120,000.
County staff opened and read cost proposals for a replacement 911 call‑handling system and asked commissioners to take the submissions under advisement for further review.
The county said the solicitation went to 10 vendors and was advertised in local papers. Staff read the cost lines for three proposals: Micro Automation Inc. listed $57,805 in one‑time services plus $44,625 for workstation and related equipment; a second proposal from 'Elerium' showed a year‑one total of $168,414; and a third vendor listed nonrecurring charges of $91,700 and year‑one recurring fees of $124,800. Staff recommended commissioners let county technology and emergency‑services staff review the proposals and report back.
The clerk told commissioners the proposals are available for inspection after the meeting and that county staff — including Mr. Ritter and Mr. Garland — will go over the bids before the board takes further action.
