DESCRIPTION

The issuing agency is seeking a vendor to provide a next-generation regional computer aided dispatch (CAD) system to support the processing of 9-1-1 calls for service across a consortium of four Public Safety Answering Points. The system will also support dispatching for regional first responder agencies and is intended to function as a unified platform connecting participating agencies throughout the region.

The envisioned solution will enable real-time data sharing, coordinated incident response, and improved situational awareness for police, fire, and EMS operations regardless of jurisdiction. The replacement CAD system is expected to serve as a single integrated platform for the consortium and support its broader strategic objectives.

The scope also includes ongoing support and maintenance for five years following go-live and system acceptance. A pre-bid conference is scheduled for July 28, 2026, and vendor questions must be submitted by August 3, 2026. The anticipated contract term is five years.
