TO: Board of Supervisors
SUBMITTED BY: Edward Hill, Chief Operating Officer/Interim Director of Internal Services/Chief Information Officer
David Luchini, RN, PHN, Director, Department of Public Health
SUBJECT: Agreement with Central Square Technologies, LLC for CentralSquare Enterprise CAD Software System.
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
TITLE
1. Make a finding that it is in the best interest of the County to suspend the competitive bidding process consistent with Administrative Policy No. 34 for unusual or extraordinary circumstances, as Central Square Technologies, LLC is the only vendor able to provide licensing, maintenance, and support for its proprietary CentralSquare Enterprise CAD software system; and
2. Approve and authorize the Chairman to execute a retroactive Agreement with Central Square Technologies, LLC for the licensing, maintenance, and support of the CentralSquare Enterprise CAD software system, effective February 12, 2024, not to exceed five consecutive years, which includes a three-year base contract and two optional one-year extensions, total not to exceed $2,087,227.
REPORT
There is no additional Net County Cost associated with the recommended actions, which will allow the Fresno County Department of Public Health (DPH), Emergency Medical Services Communications Center (EMSCC) to continue to use Central Square Technologies, LLC's (Central Square) CentralSquare Enterprise CAD software to provide for Emergency Medical Services (EMS) dispatch services to the county. This item is countywide.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION(S):
Should your Board not approve the recommended actions, the DPH, EMSCC will not be able to provide EMS dispatch services to the County. Your Board may direct staff to issue a competitive bid for a new EMS dispatch system; however, changing to a new vendor would result in increased costs and delay, due to the transition, implementation, data conversion, and training for a new software.
