Crawford Director Deanna S. Sako Deputy Director The County of Hawai'i wishes to enter into a multi -year contract with Wireless E911 Service provider, Hawaiian Telcom, for the services it provides to the Hawai'i Police Department and Hawai'i Fire Department. Hawaiian Telcom provides Wireless E911 connectivity services, repair, and maintenance to the departments' dispatcher public safety answering point (PSAP) positions. This contract has a fixed rate of $2,315 per PSAP position (11 positions) or $25,465 per month, for three years. The Police Department budgets for these charges within their operating budget and are later reimbursed upon authorization by the State of Hawai'i Wireless Enhanced 911 Board. The Public Utilities Commission (PUC) governs these services under Tariff 20, Section 10.4.3, which states Hawaiian Telcom will commit to these services on a three -year term. Hawaiian Telcom states that this is just an acknowledgment of the rate and that the departments will not incur any early termination or cancellation charges Due to the urgency of this matter, the Hawaii County Police Department is requesting a waiver from the Finance Committee and to have this resolution heard at the next Council meeting scheduled for June 7, 2010. If there are any questions, please do not hesitate to call the Hawai'i Police Department. z m t: Comm. No. 83 Ref. To: CO Ref. Date MAY 5 2010
