ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION Adopt the Resolution. FUNDING Funding will be available from the E-911 Fund. BACKGROUND The City of Miami Beach is currently using an E9-1-1 Emergency Communications Network serving its Public Safety Answering Points (PSAP's) which was part of the original enhanced equipment purchased for E9-1-1 in the early to mid 1980's. The City seeks to update this network to an integrated, modular, state-of-the-art E9-1-1 Emergency Communications Network as the present system is no longer manufactured, replacement parts are getting difficult to obtain, and it is unknown how long it will continue to be supported at the current high level necessary for an emergency communications center. It also does not have the capability to handle evolving telecommunications technology such as I0 -digit dialing, fiber optics, and cellular location identification which will be critical options in the near future. Attached is an RFP to solicit proposals from responsible vendors to provide an integrated , modular, state-of-the-art E9-1-1 Emergency Communications Network. CONCLUSION The issuance of the RFP will allow the City to select a qualified vendor to provide an up-to-date integrated, modular, state-of-the-art E9-1-1 Emergency Communications Network.

Overview The City currently operates a geographically -dispersed mix of technology platforms connected via a wide area network. Several new technology requirements have been identified which are fundamental to achieving the City's strategic initiatives. These new technology requirements formulate the City's "Future" Technology Architecture. During the next few years, the City will aggressively migrate from the current or "As -Is" Technology Architecture to the new, "Future" Technology Architecture. B. "As -Is" Technology Architecture Currently, the City operates the following technology platforms at its various operating locations: 1. Four (4) HP series 3000 minicomputers running under MPE/iX. 2. Ten (10) Pentium servers with speeds ranging from 90 to 200 Mhz. All are running Novel Netware 4. 1. 3. Approximately 400 PC's, of which about 350 are networked. Configurations range from the minimum 486 running at 25 to 66 Mhz with 8 MB RAM, to Pentiums running at 100 to 166 Mhz with 16 to 32 MB RAM. Most feature a 14" SVGA monitor and have from 800 to 1.6 GB hard drives. CD-ROM drives are not standard. Fewer than 5% have FAX capabilities and internal modems. About 98% operate under Windows 3.1. The City plans to migrate to a 32-bit OS by mid 1998. 4. Most departments have at least one network printer. Network printers include HP 4si, HP5L, HP6, HP 4mv and HP 5m. 5. The City leases a 10 MBS WAN connection from Bell South. The HP 3000's are tied to an Ethernet 802.3 backbone. 6. HP's running Computer Aided Dispatch and Emergency Response applications tie through a Microvax SNA Gateway to Microwave MDTs. 7. Local Area Networks are currently 10 base T. Most network interface cards are currently "D -link" for 10 base T. Some departments are expected to upgrade to 100 base T. RFP NO.: 141-96/97 CITY OF MIAMI BEACH DATE: 10/20197 39 71 C. "Future" Technology Architecture A "Future" Technology Architecture includes: 1. Components required to access data from anywhere in the enterprise in a transparent fashion and present it to users as information to make critical decisions. 2. Information repositories for data storage. 3. Data highways by which users access information. 4. Desktop and laptop computers where information is presented. 5. Software required to tie all these elements together. Making the "Future" Technology Architecture a reality poses three major challenges. The Architecture must: 1. Provide the required "additional" functionality. 2. Coexist and be integrated with the City's existing application and technology investments. 3. Be flexible, capable of changing rapidly according to the needs of the City. To satisfy our requirements, several technology components have been identified including, but not limited to: 1. Shared Database Systems - A foundation for all enterprise data so it can be accessed and manipulated in a consistent fashion throughout the organization. 2. Client/Server Applications - Applications that can access large blocks of data from one or more data servers and manipulate the data for presentation. 3. Local Area Networks (LANs) Shared storage, printing and file services, and connectivity to high speed networks and other computing environments. 4. Laptop Computers - Mobile access to data via client/server applications and display information on a graphical user interface. 5. High Performance Networks - Multi -protocol network connectivity providing high speed data transfer between remote locations. 6. Open Systems - Adherence to industry standards able to coexist and inter -operate with other systems.
