RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Chief Information Officer, or designee, to execute an Interagency Agreement amendment with the East Bay Regional Communications System Authority, effective March 10, 2015, to increase the payment limit to the County by $250,000 to a new payment limit of $650,000, allowing the Department of Information Technology’s Radio Group to 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 December 3, 2015.

FISCAL IMPACT:

All reimbursement for services provided to the EBRCS Authority under this agreement accrues to 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 9-1-1 dispatch centers on the East Bay Regional Communications System.

In accordance with Administrative Bulletin No 611.0, County Departments are required to obtain approval for new or expanded programs or projects involving receipt of funds. The County Administrator’s Office has reviewed this request and recommends approval.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Should the Board elect not to approve the recommendation, the Department of Information Technology’s Radio Group will not be reimbursed for services essential to the EBRCS Project.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
