HomeMy WebLinkAboutMINUTES - 11052013 - C.83RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent to execute, on behalf of the Sheriff-Coroner, a purchase order
with Xybix Systems, Inc. in the amount of $245,100 for the purchase of Dispatch Consoles for the Sheriff's Office
Dispatch Division.
FISCAL IMPACT:
$150,000 Sheriff's Plant Acquisition (0111), $95,100 Sheriff's operating budget. 100% General Fund
BACKGROUND:
The Sheriff's Office Dispatch division requires new consoles to replace the existing ones that are currently out of
warranty. The existing consoles are slowly becoming unrepairable as the parts are no longer available to fix any
consoles that break down in the future.
The Sheriff's Office chose Xybix Systems, Inc. as they are the only Dispatch Console manufacturer to fully meet the
monitor and keyboard positioning guidelines established by the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society. This vendor
is the only Dispatch Console manufacturer to offer a software product which can properly position every user at any
console - either seated or standing

division that runs 24 hours a day with long shifts.
