RECOMMENDED ACTION
Award a contract to JSI Telecom for electronic communications intercept
room equipment upgrade in the amount not to exceed $120,000.
DISCUSSION
The Police Department's electronic communications intercept room (Wire
Room) provides the capability to conduct approved telephone intercepts.
The Wire Room is one of only a few in Orange County. As such, other
municipal and federal agencies also rely on its intercept capability. The
Wire Room is currently equipped with the Voice Box III 3.2 software version
and equipment. JSI Telecom, the manufacturer of the software, is no longer
providing technical support for this software version. In addition, some
of the existing equipment requires extensive repair and is no longer
reliable.
In order for the Wire Room to remain operational, software and hardware
upgrades are essential. JSI Telecom Voice Box III 3.6 software version
will enable the use of emerging technology. Along with the software
upgrade, new equipment is required to support the new Voice Box I I I 3.6
software. Staff has determined that JSI Telecom is uniquely suited to
provide the software and equipment upgrade and recommends approval of the
recommended action.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds are available in the Police Criminal Activities Fund Machinery &
Equipment account (account no. 26-342-6641).
