Agenda 09/10/2013 Item #16E13 9/10/2013 16.E.13.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve a Participating Addendum to the Western States Contracting Alliance
(WSCA)for wireless services provided by Cellco Partnership d/b/a Verizon Wireless.
OBJECTIVE: To provide for an alternate wireless carrier to improve wireless communication
capabilities.
CONSIDERATIONS: On June 26, 2012, Agenda Item 16.E.1 the Board of County
Commissioners approved the utilization of the Western States Contracting Alliance as (WSCA)
adopted by the State of Florida with Sprint Solutions, Inc. Verizon is also a participating
contractor under WSCA.
Emergency Medical Services (EMS) has experienced challenges with communications that have
affected the ability to perform various tasks necessary for the critical delivery of Emergency
Medical Services.
The following are examples of how Verizon services will improve the EMS mission.
• Improved alternative dispatch notification.
• Improved navigational aid.
• Improved ability to consistently reach EMS resources for ongoing
dispatch comments while responding to an emergency.
• Enables EMS command staff to reach EMS field crews through other
means so as not to tax the current radio system infrastructure.
It is anticipated that transferring wireless service to Verizon will improve system reliability in
wireless connectivity while simultaneously achieving some savings due to reduction in
equipment needs.
The County has created a pooled service package with its primary wireless provider to achieve
cost savings and the same arrangement will be made with Verizon to ensure a cost contained
service. Based on current service requirements, Staff recommends use of the Verizon network
for EMS.
Approval of use of this contract for other depaituients/divisions will be made on a case-by-case
basis when a compelling business need is demonstrated.
FISCAL IMPACT: Funds for wireless services are currently budgeted with each cost center.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is approved as to form and legality, and requires
majority vote for Board approval.—SRT
