Purpose

To obtain authorization to contract with Intardo for the upgrade and ongoing maintenance, and expend the funding necessary for the project.

Background

The Sauk County Sheriff’s Department, Dispatch Center, provides 911 response for all of Sauk County.  The Intrado Viper System routes incoming 911 calls and provides dispatchers with the information necessary to initiate an appropriate response.  Installed in 2014, the system hardware is end-of-life and must be replaced in the coming year. 

 

Sauk County has been awarded a federally funded grant, through the Wisconsin Department of Military Affairs, to help fund this project.  The cost for the upgrade is estimated to be approximately $230,000 of which the grant will pay up to 60% of eligible costs.  The 2020 MIS Budget appropriates funding of $125,000 to support the project, providing the matching Sauk County funds required under the grant.

 

The purpose of this resolution is to obtain authorization to contract with Intardo for the upgrade and ongoing maintenance and expend the funding necessary for the project.

Budget Status (Other/External Sources): 

up to 60% of the costs will be provided by a federal grant through WI DMA
