<br /> Project Description/Justification
<br /> Note: This Communications System Improvements project is being reviewed as part of the charge to the Emergency Services Work Group.
<br /> OSSI:Since 1992 Orange County has utilized a Computer Aided Dispatch system from the current vendor,Logysis.The system is outdated,unable to meet current
<br /> demands and should be replaced in order to accommodate system needs.OSSI has a complete package that will provide a more robust and efficient system with
<br /> needed modules already interfaced.This system supports data sharing between agencies and across jurisdictions;improves employee productivity by simplifying
<br /> repetitive tasks;delivers real-time information across the entire Emergency Services spectrum including law enforcement,fire and EMS.OSSI is offering a five-year
<br /> payment plan which includes equal payments over the five years with 0%interest.This proposal includes a turnkey hardware,software and services solution.$500,000
<br /> can be funded by 9-1-1 funds contingent upon the approval of the NC 9-1-1 Board.
<br /> 800 MHz Radios: Portable and mobile 800 MHz radios for all Public Safety Departments County-Wide have or will be reaching seven-years of age. Replacement is
<br /> necessary to ensure reliability for emergency responders. Only the Emergency Services and Sheriffs departments are included in the CIP.It will be up to each
<br /> individual municipal or rural department to fund their repalacment radios.It is important to establish standard features and specifications for 800 MHz radios(portables
<br /> and mobiles)to ensure system reliability,optimal integration with new platforms(P25)which will be placed in service by NCSHP/VIPER starting in 2013. Regardless of
<br /> funding source or user,it is critical that units purchased be standardized to ensure integration,reliability and reduce potential for field failure. Year 1 funding includes
<br /> Emergency Services radios and two mobile digital repeaters to assist field units with reception and reliable communications throughout the county. Years 6-10 includes
<br /> funding of$920,000 for replacement of Sheriff radios. /`1,
<br /> NextGen Phone System:Replacement of the main 9-1-1 switch,which is necessary to gain access to Internet(Next Generation)based services.The current switch W
<br /> will have reached the end of its useful life and will no longer be supported by the vendor.If the switch is not replaced,the cost of repairs/maintenance/parts will become
<br /> very expensive.There is a risk that parts for this equipment will not be available in the coming years. Based on the most current vendor consultation, the request is
<br /> being made in year 2-FY 2013-2014.
