He is working on this with Annette Moore and it is complex. <br /> Chair Jacobs asked if this would come back to the Board with an RFP or the vendors. <br /> The County had a bad experience with the previous process to choose a vendor because staff <br /> only came back with one name. Colonel Montes de Oca suggested that all constituents be <br /> included. The Board of County Commissioners will approve the RFP. The staff will stay on <br /> track with the timeline of 90-120 days. <br /> Commissioner Gordon asked where the 90-120 days stop in the list under the timeline. <br /> Colonel Montes de Oca said that at the end of 120 days, the study should be in hand. <br /> Commissioner Gordon would like to know the dates of approval for the RFP and the <br /> study. <br /> Colonel Montes de Oca said that he would be talking to Purchasing to work this out. <br /> This is a high priority. <br /> Commissioner Gordon suggested that the North Chatham Fire Department service for <br /> Southern Orange County also be included in the study and Colonel Montes de Oca said that <br /> this would be included. <br /> Chair Jacobs suggested an agenda item on October 7th with a timeline and an action <br /> item for the County Commissioners.
