RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Chief Information Officer, or designee, to execute an Interagency Agreement amendment with East Bay Regional Communications System Authority (EBRCSA), effective December 1, 2015, to increase the payment limit to the County by $250,000 to a new payment limit of $900,000, allowing the Department of Information Technology’s Radio Group continue to provide radio and microwave related services for the East Bay Regional Communication System (EBRCS) Project 25 Public Safety Communication System, for the period December 4, 2012 through June 30, 2017.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Revenue for the Department of Information Technology’s Radio Group.

BACKGROUND:

The EBRCS Project 25 Communication System is currently being built. The West Contra Costa County area will be the first phase of the implementation. EBRCS Joint Powers Authority (JPA) has approved and directed that Contra Costa County Radio Service Staff be one of the primary service providers to perform system repairs, installations, programming, and upgrades as directed by the JPA for the radio sites and 911 dispatch centers on the East Bay Regional Communications System.

In accordance with Administrative Bulletin No 611.0, County Departments are required to get Board approval for single item purchases over $100,000. The County Administrator’s Office has reviewed this request and recommends approval.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Loss of revenue for the Department of Information Technology’s Radio Group.
