The Board considered bids for the County interoperable radio console for the Lee County backup public safety (PSAP) answering point. Emergency Services Director Shane Seagroves stated the County has a need for a backup PSAP and the completion of this project will provide a strong and efficient 911 system that will operate independently should either the PSAP or BSAP have issues. The proposed radio console system will allow the County to fulfill the NC -911 Board requirements of mirroring the PSAP radio equipment infrastructure at minimal cost. This portion of the project is fully county funded . With the completion of this program the radio systems will work in tandem so that each center can be operated simultaneously should an emergency event occur that requires both centers to be in "overflow" mode or "singular' mode. It allows both centers to be fully deployed in either singular, simultaneous, or training modes. Mr. Seagroves stated the recommended communication console will also allow the Sheriff's Department dispatch consoles to share the interoperable communications console as well. Quotes were received from the following vendors for the backup PSAP communication system: Fleet Connect, Sanford, NC $90,580.65 Secom Systems, Norcross, GA $91,495.00 Sunny Communications, Inc., Aurora, CO (equipment) $34,927.00 Fleet Connect (labor to install and antennas /cabling) $ 9,207.11 Mr. Seagroves recommend the low bid from Sunny Communications for equipment and Fleet Connect for installation and cabling be approved. Total for equipment and cabling equal $44,134.11. After discussion, Commissioner Dalrymple moved to approve the recommendation of Mr. Seagroves to approve the bid from Sunny Communications and Fleet Connect in the total amount of $44,134.11 as presented. Upon a vote, the results were as follows: Aye: Dalrymple, Frazier, Knecht, Parks, Reives, Smith, and Womack Nay: None The Chairman ruled the motion had been adopted unanimously. 4
