City of Fort Worth Subscriber Services Agreement City of Sansom Park Page 7 of 7 M&C Review s CITY COUNCIL AGENDA FORTV4'ORrII COUNCIL ACTION: Approved on 8/7/2018 DATE: 8/7/2018 REFERENCE**C-28767 LOG 04SANSOM PARK COMMUNICATIONS NO.: NAME: SYSTEM - RADIO SUBSCRIBER CODE: C TYPE: CONSENT PUBLIC NO HEARING: SUBJECT: Authorize Execution of a Communications System Agreement and a Radio Subscriber Services Support Agreement with the City of Sansom Park for Participation in the City of Fort Worth's Two-Way Public Safety Radio System and for the Provision of Two- Way Radio Support Services at No Cost to the City of Fort Worth (ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS) RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council authorize the execution of a Communications System Agreement and a Radio Subscriber Services Support Agreement with the City of Sansom Park for participation in the City of Fort Worth's two-way Public Safety Radio System and for the provision of two-way radio support services at no cost to the City of Fort Worth. DISCUSSION: The City of Fort Worth (City) maintains Agreements to provide access to its two-way radio system by other public safety agencies in Tarrant, Johnson, Dallas, Denton, Parker, Ellis, Palo Pinto and Grayson counties. In return for this access, external agencies help offset the City's expenses through the payment of annual fees. In addition, access to the Fort Worth Public Safety Radio System by multiple jurisdictions enhances the ability of emergency responders to communicate with one another when responding to incidents. In June 2018, the City of Sansom Park (Sansom Park) approved a Communications System Agreement to operate on the City's Public Safety Radio System. Sansom Park will provide its own radios and dispatch center, but will utilize the City's radio infrastructure for its public safety communications. Sansom Park also approved a Radio Subscriber Support Agreement under which the City will install, configure, program, maintain and repair Sansom Park's two-way radios and other emergency response equipment. The City's performance of these additional services will not impact its ability to meet City department requirements. It will, however, provide additional external revenues to help support the Public Safety Communications System. The Subscriber Support Agreement will also ensure that the equipment supporting the users of the City's radio system is operating within manufacturer specifications, which is a critical requirement of the digital technology used with the City's Public Safety Communications System. To ensure the software levels of the radio system remain current and under support, the City will utilize a Motorola System Upgrade Agreement that encompasses all external agencies that maintain dispatch consoles. The use of a single Software Agreement to cover all users results in a 14 percent discount in the cost for all agencies, including the City. Total annual revenue is estimated at $17,000.00. This contract will be with a governmental entity, state agency or public institution of higher http://apps.cfwnet.org/council_packettmc_review.asp?ID=26062&councildate=8/7/2018[8/9/2018 8:42:47 AM] M&C Review education: (City of Sansom Park). FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION: The Director of Finance certifies that upon approval of the above recommendation the Information Technology Solutions Department and the Financial Management Services Department have the responsibility for the collection and deposit of funds due to the City under this Agreement. Revenue from this agreement is estimated at $17,000.00 annually.
