Fire Department in an amount not to exceed $166,000. <br /> <br />DISCUSSION <br /> <br />The Fire Department utilizes a fire alerting system that works in <br />combination with a Computer Aided Dispatch System to alert fire stations <br />of emergency calls. To enhance the effectiveness of the City's existing <br />alerting system a new system was designed by the Santa Ana Fire <br />Department and Teleque On Fire. The new alerting system fulfills the <br />Department's requirements and is compatible with the Computer Aided <br />Dispatch System. The Teleque On Fire Model 10 Programmable Logic <br />Controller and Data Protocol Converter is unique to the industry because <br />it can be integrated with three alerting sources. These sources include <br />Two-Way Radios, Paging, Computer Aided Dispatch, Wire line and Voice Over <br />Internet Protocol. <br /> <br />The 911 telephones are required for each fire station by the National <br />Fire Protection Association and will replace fire alarm boxes which are <br />non functional and non replaceable. The 911 telephones are required to <br />be placed at the front entrance of all fire stations. The purpose of the <br />911 telephones is to provide the public with access to the 911 emergency <br />system if an emergency needs to be reported. In addition, the 911 <br />telephones are available for individuals to notify the fire department if <br />they abandon a baby at a fire station according to the requirements of <br />.the Safe Haven program. <br /> <br />25D-1 <br />
