RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Chief Information Officer, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with the East Bay Regional Communications System Authority to increase the payment limit payable to the County by $1,088,000 to a new payment limit of $3,378,000 and extend the term through June 30, 2026, for telecommunications services.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This represents additional revenue for the Telecommunications Division of the department. (100% General Fund)

BACKGROUND:

The East Bay Regional Communications Systems (EBRCS) Joint Powers Authority (JPA) has approved and directed that the Department of Information Technology’s Telecommunications Division be the primary service provider to perform system repair, installations, programming and upgrade services as directed by the JPA for the radio sites and 911 dispatch centers in the EBRCS Authority. The mission of the JPA is to build and operate a state-of-the art complaint communications system for public agencies within Alameda and Contra Costa Counties. At the request of the Executive Director of the EBRCS Authority, County will perform radio programming and maintenance services at the rate of $139 per hour, which may be adjusted each fiscal year, plus the cost of any materials and required equipment. County will invoice the EBRCS Authority each month that services are rendered.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this is not approved, the department will not receive the revenue and the emergency communications systems for the participating agencies in the EBRCS Authority may be impacted.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

None.
