RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Fire Chief, or designee, to execute a contract containing modified indemnification language with FireStats, LLC, in an amount not to exceed $90,000, for the hosting, analysis, and reporting of computer aided dispatch data and related consulting services for the period October 9, 2018, through October 8, 2021.

FISCAL IMPACT:

An appropriation exists for this service in the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District’s adopted budget.

BACKGROUND:

The Contra Costa County Fire Protection District (District) establishes performance measures via statistical and geospatial analysis of its computer aided dispatch (CAD) data for fires, emergency medical services, and other incident responses.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

Paul Rottenberg, the founder of FireStats, LLC, is a nationally recognized expert in the reporting of fire service data. His company provides a proprietary business intelligence software application for the analysis and reporting of CAD data. This includes providing support to appropriate District staff to ensure their proper use and understanding of the tools. Mr. Rottenberg will also be available to work with District staff to provide individual and/or group consulting services as needed. Contractor is hosting the CAD data and software on a third-party server. This results in a costs savings to the District for avoided system implementation costs.

For the continuity and efficacy of data analysis and reporting, the District recommends a three year contract.

The contract requires that the District defend and indemnify the contractor from any and all third-party suits, claims or liabilities, including attorneys’ fees, costs or expenses that are claimed to have occurred as a result of the District’s negligence and not arising from any negligence or willful misconduct by contractor in the performance of the contract.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The District will not have the ability to properly analyze and accurately report performance data and establish appropriate benchmark standards for incident response.
