RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the County Purchasing Agent, or designee, to execute a purchase order with CDW-G, in an amount not to exceed $250,000, for the purchase of 215 Apple iPads, and to execute a purchase order with Athena Advanced Networks, in an amount not to exceed $105,000, for the vehicle mounting hardware for the iPads.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% Federal grant funds, FY 2016 State Homeland Security Grant Program (SHSGP).

BACKGROUND:

The Contra Costa County Office of the Sheriff was awarded funding from the U. S. Department of Homeland Security, California Governor's Office of Emergency Services, FY 2016 State Homeland Security Grant Program (SHSGP). The Sheriff's Office will pass a portion of the funds through to the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District (District) for the purchase of fire service mobile data computers for the region's fire agencies. Acting as host agency, the District will coordinate the purchase and installation of the grant-funded equipment for itself and eight (8) other regional fire agencies. Those agencies include East Contra Costa Fire Protection District, San Ramon Valley Fire Protection District, City of Richmond Fire Department, City of El Cerrito Fire Department, Moraga-Orinda Fire Protection District, City of Pinole Fire Department, Rodeo-Hercules Fire Protection District, and Crockett-Carquinez Fire Protection District.

The District requires two purchase orders to complete the project:

1) A purchase order with CDW-G to purchase 215 Apple iPads with 2 years of equipment service.

2) A purchase order with Athena Advanced Networks to purchase the mounting hardware to affix the iPads to the fire service vehicles.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The District will lose the opportunity to upgrade outdated computer equipment used for emergency incident information and management.
