BACKGROUND:
The Office of Public Safety Communications has provided law enforcement communications under contract to the Town of Woodside for many years. The previous contract expired June 30, 2018. Public Safety Communications has continued to provide effective and efficient law enforcement communications services for the Town of Woodside since that time. This contract, with a three year term, will ensure that services remain uninterrupted.
DISCUSSION:
Under this Agreement, PSC will provide communications/dispatch services and supervisory personnel to oversee shift operations, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Also included is management overhead, public safety systems oversight and maintenance and a small pro rata share of service and supply costs. When staffing allows, PSC personnel will participate in community public education, neighborhood meetings, crime prevention campaigns, and ride-alongs with police officers.
A six percent (6%) annual adjustment has been factored in to each year of the term to offset escalating costs to Public Safety Communications including, but not limited to, increases to salaries and benefits. Stated fees are based on cost recovery to the County for services rendered, and will reimburse the County for a pro-rata share of staffing a 911 workstation in order to accommodate telephone and radio workload.
