ACTION REQUESTED:

Approval of a budget adjustment and authorization of procurement of replacement computers for all dispatch consoles at the new consolidated dispatch location. The total cost is $119,337.38, with $52,013.64 currently available. An additional $67,323.74 is required to complete the acquisition. (Gass/Herring)

BACKGROUND:

Initiated by: Alison Herring

The existing dispatch computers are outdated and experiencing performance issues. As the Dispatch Center transitions to a consolidated location, replacing these systems will ensure operational reliability and prevent service disruptions. Current systems are approximately six years old and no longer meet the requirements for critical public safety operations. Procuring new computers during the relocation will support uninterrupted emergency communications and improve system stability.

FINANCIAL CONSIDERATION

This purchase was not included in the original FY26 budget. The total cost is $119,337.38, with $52,013.64 currently available. A budget adjustment of $67,323.74 is required to complete the procurement in FY26. Financial Impact (Revenue & Expense): Budget Adjustment Needed Expense: 11014656-817505 (Capital Outlay – Equipment) — $67,323.74 Procurement will be conducted through the Dell NASPO Computer Equipment Statewide Price Agreement Contract #10-00000-20-00062AF.
