RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Sheriff-Coroner, or designee to execute a contract with O3, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $30,000 to provide the Emergency Services Unit with WebEOC software support for the term of April 1, 2016 through March 31, 2017.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% County General Fund; Budgeted.

BACKGROUND:

The State adopted WebEOC as its standard for emergency management software. As such, counties were expected to use the software in order to communicate with the State in the event of emergencies. Contra Costa County licenses the software from ESI Acquisition, Inc. but needs assistance with customization, maintenance, and training. The purpose of this contract is for the contractor, O3, Inc., to maintain WebEOC on the County’s computer server; to develop web applications (add-ons) to enhance the usability of the software; to provide training for the County and its partners; and to provide support in the event of either an emergency or computer/software problems.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The contract includes a provision obligating the County to indemnify O3, Inc. for claims arising out of the negligence of the County in performing its agreements with the software licensor, ESI Aquisition, Inc.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If a negative action is recommended on this contract, training for the County and its partners is not likely not happen; and necessary support in the event of either an emergency or computer/software problems will not be readily available.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

No impact.
