III . FISCAL IMPACT
The contract with Dimensional Resources, Inc. would be at no cost
to the County. A completed audit by Dimensional Resources, Inc. of
the County' s existing telecommunication service identifies an
annual savings of over $100,000. 00 based on recommendations of
service changes provided by Dimensional Resource, Inc. This
contract can also be made available for other public agencies,
including cities, to achieve similar savings that are available to
Contra Costa County.
