Authorize Supplemental Agreement No. 2 to exercise the first of two one-year renewal options to the service price agreement with AT&T Corp for FirstNet services to provide public safety wireless devices and mobile services for the Department of Information and Technology Services through the Department of Information Resources cooperative agreement - Estimated amount of $3,514,153.49 - Financing: General Fund ($2,327,071.37), Data Services Fund ($609,341.66), Sanitation Operation Fund ($471,569.16), and Water and Sewer Revenue Fund ($106,171.30) (subject to annual appropriations)
Body
BACKGROUND
This action does not encumber funds; the purpose of a service price agreement is to establish firm pricing for services, for a specific term, which are ordered on an as needed basis according to annual budgetary appropriations. The estimated amount is intended as guidance rather than a cap on spending under the agreement, so that actual need combined with the amount budgeted will determine the amount spent under this agreement.
This Supplemental Agreement will provide for continued FirstNet services to provide public safety wireless devices and mobile services for the Department of Information and Technology Services through the Department of Information Resources cooperative agreement.
This supplemental agreement will continue to provide mobile data connectivity, hardware, and software for Public Safety and all infrastructure departments. These components allow the City’s public safety departments and first responders to utilize their mobile devices and applications during day-to-day activities and catastrophic emergencies across the metroplex without competing with the public for the resource.
Additional departments have access to FirstNet Extended Primary services as well as other support services such as disaster recovery teams, infrastructure, and utilities. This infrastructure facilitates the management of critical public safety information which includes immediate broadcast of emergency information for officers in distress, data transmission between emergency vehicles ensuring optimal response time, and other critical functions. The use of this infrastructure is critical to first responders in assisting with handling vital information that links police officers, firefighters and paramedics to serve and support the residents of Dallas.
On November 10, 2015, the City Council authorized a living wage policy that requires contractors to pay their employees a “living wage” rate as established annually by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Living Wage Calculator for Dallas County by Resolution No. 15-2141. This agreement renewal option includes the most current living wage of $12.38.
PRIOR ACTION/REVIEW (COUNCIL, BOARDS, COMMISSIONS)
On February 13, 2019, City Council authorized a two-year service price agreement, with two one-year renewal options, for FirstNet services to provide public safety wireless devices and mobile services for the Department of Communication & Information Services with AT&T Corp through the Department of Information Resources cooperative agreement by Resolution No 19-0269.
