Board approves multi‑year Motorola Flex CAD renewal for emergency dispatch
Summary
The board approved Resolution R‑2026‑33 to renew the county’s Motorola Flex CAD/support contract, citing disaster‑recovery benefits, cloud backup and stable multi‑year pricing though near‑term costs rise by about $14,000 versus annual renewal.
Powhatan County public safety staff presented a multi‑year maintenance contract renewal for the county’s Motorola Flex computer‑aided dispatch (CAD) system, describing it as a core technology for 911 center operations. The presenter said the multi‑year option provides cloud‑based backup, disaster recovery and fixed pricing for years 2–5; staff estimated the overall contract is roughly $14,000 more than rolling annual renewals but adds features the county sought.
After discussion, a supervisor moved to approve Resolution R‑2026‑33. The board voted unanimously; the transcript records the motion and a 5‑0 result. Staff said the renewed contract preserves the proprietary support and interoperability the county needs for radio and call‑handling interfaces and provides flexibility to run CAD services from alternate locations if premise equipment fails.
