Body
BACKGROUND
This action does not encumber funds; the purpose of a service contract is to establish firm pricing for services, for a specific term, which are ordered on an as needed basis.
This supplemental will provide for continued maintenance and support of the existing automated fire station alerting system for the Fire-Rescue Department managed by the Department of Information and Technology Services. The automated announcement system integrates with the City's existing Computer Aided Dispatch system. The automated announcement system audibly announces alerts at fire stations for calls, notifies cell phones for emergency response, opens fire station garage doors, automatically enables overhead lights at fire stations, and visually alerts stations through the light-emitting diode message reader boards.
