DISCUSSION:
Tarrant County 9-1-1 Public Safety Answering Points'Assistance Reimbursement Program (PSAP) was
initiated to help ensure emergency response communication units throughout the county are provided up-
to-date training, equipment and operating tools. To apply, a local jurisdiction must expend a specified
amount of funds in direct support of their emergency response communication units. These expenses can
be for supplies, training, equipment, or other items with direct linkages to emergency response
communication efforts. Once the threshold is met, the jurisdiction can receive a pro-rated amount based
on population. The City of Fort Worth's Fire Department has been receiving annual awards since 2010.
The City's Police and Fire Departments both receive annual funding from this resource. The Fire
Department intends to expend its $126,206.00 in Fiscal Year 2016 allocations as partial funding to
purchase two additional public safety communications consoles, to include all required communications
equipment. Costs for console furniture and emergency communications equipment for both consoles
totals $169,646.00. A balance remaining from Fiscal Year 2015 Tarrant County 9-1-1 PSAP funds will be
utilized to pay the $43,440.00 difference between Fiscal Year 2016 PSAP allocations and the total amount
required to purchase two consoles.

These two additional emergency communications consoles have been identified as an operational need
during times when calls and demand for services escalate (i.e. emergencies, weather events, special
event weekends, etc.).
There will be no ongoing operating cost increases required as a result of these purchases. The consoles
purchase will include all required equipment and will be staffed with existing staff during high-volume call
situations. Emergency communication consoles have a life expectancy of 10-12 years. Replacement of
this equipment will be funded utilizing the Tarrant County 9-1-1 annual funding stream, or if discontinued,
will become a part of the Fire Department's pay-as-you-go capital funding requests.
The console purchase can be accomplished during Fiscal Year 2016.
This M&C does not request approval of a contract with a business entity.
