__________________________________________________________________
BACKGROUND
The Emergency Services District operates the County-wide 911 call taking network and systems, located at the Indian River County Sheriff’s Office, City of Sebastian, City of Vero Beach and at the Emergency Operations Center (EOC).
ANALYSIS
The purpose of this agenda item is to seek the Board's review and approval of a crucial update to the State-Funded PSAP Upgrade Project. This update is necessary to extend the original agreement to June 30, 2026, due to delay in commencement of the project, which may prevent completion by the original agreement date. The new updated agreement will ensure that Indian River County receives the funds required for non-recurring charges and the first year of reimbursement. There is no change to the Scope of work or the amount of the agreement.
The expedited approval of this amendment is essential for moving forward effectively.
