(KNZA)--A revised bid has been accepted for an upgrade of the Brown County Sheriff’s Department’s 911 system.
On the recommendation of Sheriff John Merchant, the County Commission Monday accepted a bid of $324,722 from Commenco, of Kansas City, Missouri, for the upgrade to the Next Generation 911 system.
The original bid of $221,000, accepted by the Commission last October, included all the county dispatch services being located at the Sheriff’s Department. The new bid includes a back-up system located in Horton and also a five-year warranty on all equipment.
The new equipment will be financed through a five-year lease purchase arrangement and will be paid for with funding generated from a 911 fee collected on phone bills.
Merchant says the state is mandating the county upgrade to the new 911 system by 2019.
In other business, County IT Director Sandy Carter met with the Commission to discuss the purchase of a new computer server for the courthouse.
The Commission approved the purchase of the new server at a cost of $32,900, with a five-year warranty.
