FROM: William Walker, M.D. , Health Services Director •f ;.
By: Ginger Marieiro, Contracts Administrator ="h ;. Contra
Costa
DATE: September",12, 1996 County
SUBJECT: Approval of Standard Contract #22-545 with Pacific Bell
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I . RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve and authorize the Health Services Director to execute on
behalf of the County, Standard Contract #22-545 with Pacific Bell,
for the period from October 1, 1996 through September 30, 2001, in
the amount of $18, 960 per year, plus additional charges for
supplemental reports (downloads on magnetic tape) as may be
requested by the County, for 9-1-1 database information for use in
the Community Warning System.
II . FINANCIAL IMPACT:
This first year of this Contract is funded by the Community
Warning System project (as approved by the Contra Costa County
CAER Group, Inc . , Board of Directors) and thereafter will be
included in the Health Services Department ' s Budget .
III . REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
An integral part of the County' s Community Warning System and its
ability to get emergency information and instructions to the
public is the use of the Community Alert Network (CAN) , an
automated telephone calldown system. The effectiveness of the
system is limited, however, by the fact that approximately 500 of
the telephone numbers in Contra Costa County are unlisted, thus
unreachable by CAN.
In 1993 , the County worked with Senator Daniel Boatwright to
spearhead SB 222 . This bill authorizes the release of unlisted
information for use by telephone calldown systems for emergency
purposes . This law, the first of its kind in the nation, went
into effect on January 1, 1994 .
Approval of Standard Contract #22-545 with Pacific Bell will
facilitate the County' s acquisition of the unlisted information
database, and provide monthly updates, through September 30, 2001 .
