RE: Authorization to renew agreement for CodeRed services
Request: APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY
MANANGER TO RENEW THE SECOND YEAR OF THE TWO YEAR
AGREEMENT WITH EMERGENCY COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK
INC FOR CODERED HIGH SPEED TELEPHONE COMMUNITY
NOTIFICATION SERVICES FOR THE AMOUNT OF THIRTEEN
THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($13,500.00) PAYABLE FROM
ACCOUNT#14-512528
Description: Code Red High Speed Telephone Community Notifications has proven to be a
highly effective way for the City to communicate with its constituents. This system
has allowed the City to notify from a specific area in the City to the entire City limits
within minutes. The City has used CodeRed to communicate road closures, Public
Work projects, events, or anything that may impact the public. This one year
agreement will allow the City to continue to have access to this system at the same
level or service we had our initial year as well as any improvements or upgrades
made.
Financial Impact: $13,500.00 budgeted. Payable from account 14-512528
Implementation Time Line: Immediate
Legislative History: Resolution 09-7455 was approved for the first year of CodeRed service.
Recommendation(s): Staff recommends renewing the CodeRed agreement as the system has
proven to be highly efficient and effective in communicating with
residents.
Analysis: The results that the Internet mapping system that geographically targets
calls are impossible to achieve in house and reach such a large number of
individuals in such a short amount of time. CodeRed is extremely effective
in providing vital communication to residents that may be in harm's way.
During the initial year of service, CodeRed has provided City residents with
information within minutes of the calls being sent out.
