The Tarrant County 9-1-1 (TC911) District's Public Safety Answering Points (PSAP) Assistance Program was initiated to help ensure emergency
response communication units throughout the county are provided up-to-date equipment, operating tools and training. To receive reimbursement, a
PSAP must expend a specified amount of funds in direct support of their emergency response communication units . Eligible expenses include 9-
1-1 related equipment, furniture, hardware, training , and other items with direct linkages to emergency response communication efforts. The City of
Fort Worth's Fire Department has been receiving annual awards since 2010. For the 2021 PSAP Assistance Program, the Fire Department
anticipates using its reimbursement as follows:

Funding for this project was not included in the FY2021-2025 Capital Improvement Program due to the unplanned nature of the project. The need
for this replacement was not apparent until August 2020. The action in this M&C will amend the FY2021-2025 Capital Improvement Program.
This project will serve All Council Districts .
A Form 1295 is not required because : This M&C does not request approval of a contract with a business entity.

will be available in the current capital budget, as appropriated , of the General Capital Projects Fund . The Fire Department (and Financial
