Report
Summary
Regional 9-1-1 Services, located on the Phoenix Fire Department campus, provides
24-hour 9-1-1 system maintenance and oversees the installation of 9-1-1 equipment for 25 9-1-1 Centers throughout the Maricopa County Region. This service is paid for through monies distributed by the State of Arizona to the City. Salt River Police Department (SRPD) is one of the 9-1-1 Centers for which Regional 9-1-1 Services provides state-funded 9-1-1 maintenance. SRPD recently acquired a back-up 9-1-1 call-taking equipment answering station that requires day-to-day maintenance and technical support, but does not meet the emergency 9-1-1 criteria to qualify for state-funded maintenance. Therefore, SRPD requires dedicated time and resources from the City of Phoenix Fire Department's Regional 9-1-1 Services Program to maintain this equipment, for which the City receives reimbursement.
Contract Term
The five-year contract term will begin July 1, 2020.
Financial Impact
The Fire Department will receive an aggregate amount of $90,000 through June 30, 2025.
