Background
The Fire Department seeks approval to update the current station alerting system to ensure compliance with the new Volusia County Computer-Aided Dispatch (CAD) system, which will be implemented this year.
This update is mandated to synchronize our station alerting system with the new CAD, enhancing efficiency, coordination during emergency responses, and improving communication, ultimately benefiting our community. The county is paying for the backbone of the system for each fire station at approximately $50,000 each and the city is responsible for the remainder.
Motorola Solutions has been selected by the County as the vendor for this update, utilizing Sourcewell Contract Pricing 042021. The budgeted amount for this project is $250,000, with a quoted cost of $178,955.
