Currently, emergency responders must log information before <br />responding to emergency situations. In order to increase response time <br />efficiency, each emergency responder, including Firemen and Paramedics, <br />will now be assigned an alphanumeric pager. The pager will receive <br />incident response information at the time of dispatch. The information <br />will include incident type, address, and details of the incident. <br />Transmitting emergency response information by pager will assist in <br />reducing emergency response time and improve information accuracy. <br /> <br />The notice inviting bids was advertised on July 28 and 30, 2004, and <br />bids were solicited. A summary of the bid invitations and bids received <br />is as follows: <br /> <br />3 Invitations For Bid mailed <br />3 Bids received <br /> <br />Three bids were received, opened on August 10, 2004, and evaluated. Two <br />of the bids were found to be nonresponsive to the specification, as the <br />vendors did not offer a five-year pager warranty as required by the <br />specification. The bid received from Vision Communications is <br />responsive to the specification. <br /> <br />22K-1 <br /> <br />CS. 383 <br />
