TO USER AGENCIES resolution
WHEREAS, the DuPage County Emergency Telephone System Board (“DU PAGE ETSB”) is an emergency telephone system board, established pursuant to Section 15.4 of the Local Government Emergency Telephone System Act, 50 ILCS 750/15.4 (“Act”);
WHEREAS, the DU PAGE ETSB is authorized and empowered, pursuant to Section 15.4 (b) of the Act to plan, implement, upgrade, and maintain an Emergency 9-1-1 System;
WHEREAS, the DU PAGE ETSB is authorized by law and local ordinance to make disbursements from the 9-1-1 surcharge funds it receives pursuant to law for costs related to products and services necessary for the implementation, upgrade and maintenance of the emergency telephone system;
WHEREAS, an agreement has been negotiated in accordance with the DU PAGE ETSB ordinance and bylaws as a sole source contract;
WHEREAS, recently several agencies have expressed interest in, and three agencies have requested interface connections to, the Hexagon CAD system for “real time” access to applications that cannot be supported with 9-1-1 surcharge funds such as cameras, incident command, etc.;
WHEREAS, ETSB and PSAP staff have spent considerable time considering how to provide such access without impacting the primary mission of the CAD system: The handling of 9-1-1 calls and emergency dispatches;
WHEREAS, ETSB’s Tech Focus Group has recommended that there should not be any direct connections to the production CAD system;
WHEREAS, Intergraph Corporation, D.B.A. Hexagon Safety & Infrastructure, a Delaware Corporation (hereinafter “Hexagon”) offers a product, “Edge Frontier (Xalt Interface),” that will allow the agencies to receive information without impacting the security of the 9-1-1 System;
WHEREAS, the current process to engage Hexagon to perform “Edge Frontier (Xalt Interface)” work requires a separate contract, which must be approved at the ETSB monthly meeting, adding to the 60 - 90 day lead time required for Hexagon to perform the work and provide the interface to the agency;
WHEREAS, due to the expressed interest in “Edge Frontier (Xalt Interface)” by agencies in DuPage County and the three current requests for such interfaces, the need exists to streamline the approval process for “Edge Frontier” work to reduce the lead time, as well as, the staff and Board time required for these approvals;
WHEREAS, this and any future blanket purchase order contract would be supported by a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) in which the interested agency would, among other things, agree to repay ETSB for the use of the surcharge funds to purchase the “Edge Frontier (Xalt Interface)” work under a specified repayment plan; and
WHEREAS, the 9-1-1 System Coordinator recommends DU PAGE ETS Board approval of Procurement Purchase Order Requisition 923011 to Hexagon authorizing the Executive Director of the ETSB to execute a blanket purchase order for Hexagon to perform “Edge Frontier (Xalt Interface)” work on an as-needed basis to interested agencies without bringing a full change order resolution to the Board. Total contract amount of $150,000.00.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that DU PAGE ETSB Requisition 923011, covering said, blanket purchase order, be, and is hereby approved by the DU PAGE ETSB to Hexagon, for a total of $150,000.00.
end
Enacted and approved this 10th day of May, 2023 at Wheaton, Illinois.
