RECOMMENDED ACTION
Direct the City Attorney to prepare and authorize the City Manager and the
Clerk of the Council to execute a one-year agreement with TriTech Software
Systems for the purchase of computer aided dispatch system maintenance
services in an amount not to exceed $97,251.
DISCUSSION
Since 1996, the Fire Department has utilized VisiCAD software from Tritech
Software Systems. This proprietary software enables the Fire Department to
maintain vehicle status and tracking to accurately dispatch the closest
uni ts to an emergency incident. Maintenance of the VisiCAD software is
necessary to ensure the systems reliability and effectiveness. The
agreement renewal would extend the software support services originally
included with the initial purchase. The maintenance agreement entitles the
Fire Department to twenty-four hour maintenance support.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds are available in the Fire Department's Communication Services Other
Contractual Services account (11-322-6291).
