DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND:
On November 3, 2020, the Board approved a request from Public Safety Communications (PSC) to upgrade from the outdated T-1 Circuits, used to provide high speed bandwidth for the 800 MHz radio system, to full Ethernet. This upgrade allowed for an immediate increase in redundancy as well as proactive positioning of the Marion County radio system for anticipated future system uses and additional upgrades. This third amendment to the service agreement is to install and support a 1G dedicated connection for Disaster Recovery Enhancements for county use. This connection will be used as a redundant backup connection for PSC and the backup disaster recovery center.
Attached for review is a copy of the amendment and an approved LRM from Legal. Pending approval at today’s meeting, it will be presented to the Chair for signature.
BUDGET/IMPACT:
Neutral; additional expenditure of $13,600. There is a monthly recurring charge of $800/mo. The cost will cover the five (5) remaining months in FY 2024 ($4,000) and all of FY 2025 ($9,600) totaling $13,600. Funding is from AA174516-541101 (General Fund).
