Any work by Westnet necessary to troubleshoot the CAD system or modify the MCU post - production is not included in any pricing and will be an additional charge. 8.11 Interfaces: Unless specifically stated in writing by Westnet to the contrary, no interfaces to other equipment or systems are included in Westnet's pricing and are beyond the scope of this SOW. 8.12 Other: Westnet makes no guarantee and has no responsibility for the performance of ancillary systems used with the System during the alerting process, such as the CAD, the wired or wireless connectivity from Customer's Dispatch to the Station, Public Address and telephone paging systems, as well 17 0 0 as devices connected to the Control Remote. The Customer has been advised that the System may not function properly unless the ancillary systems are . functioning correctly. With the proper inputs, the System will activate System lights, speakers, relays (Control Remotes), System Doorbells, Test and Emergency Buttons. 0 0 EXHIBIT A -2 DELIVERY VERIFICATION FORM First -In Fire Station Alerting Equipment The signature below serves as verification that all equipment listed for Station _ in Project Deliverables (Section 3 of the Scope of Work) was delivered in good condition.

Authorize a budget amendment to transfer $195,000 from the General Fund Paramedic Reserve to account 2320 -9300 to fund the purchase and installation of Smart - Station Call Alerting System. DISCUSSION Backaround: Response time is critical to successful execution of every emergency response. The faster firefighters get to a fire, the better the chances for rescuing victims and knocking down a fire. The quicker paramedics begin CPR on a cardiac arrest patient, the better the chance of survival for the patient. Because we recognize the need to continually improve response times, the Fire Department has been testing a new call alerting system at its Lido Station, Fire Station #2. The new alerting system is called Smart - Station by WestNet, Inc., of Huntington Beach. Current Emergency Call Dispatch: Under our current dispatch system at METRONET, two people, the call taker and the dispatcher, work as a team. The call taker answers the 911 call, gathers vital information about the emergency and stays on the line with the reporting party. Once 0 0 Purchase and Installation of Smart- Station Call Alerting System October 11, 2005 Page 2 the call taker has determined the location and nature of the emergency and entered this data into the computer -aided dispatch (CAD) system, the information is electronically passed to the dispatcher. The CAD assigns the closest and correct number of units based on the Fire Department's procedures. The dispatcher verifies the address and the CAD's recommendation for resources and then alarms the correct stations /units vocally dispatching the call. Depending on the clarity of the caller and the number of calls in progress, this could take several minutes before enough information could be gathered and proper resources dispatched. Smart- Station Call Dispatch: Under the Smart-Station system, at the same time the call taker sends the initial information (type of call and address) to the dispatcher, an electronic signal goes to the station. This is called a "direct dispatch" because it is done by CAD with no human intervention. The Smart Station receives the data from the CAD and an electronic annunciator announces what units are being dispatched and what type of call, i.e. medical, fire, traffic collision. This early announcement allows firefighters to start moving towards their apparatus and tells them what protective equipment to don. In the meantime, the call taker is getting additional information from the caller, entering it into the CAD, and sending the updated information to the dispatcher. At the time that the dispatcher has verified the address and call specifics, the vocal call is made over the radio, pagers, and station announcing system. By this time however, the firefighters are well on their way toward donning the appropriate protective clothing and in a position to better use the address information and leave the station. Additionally all the data that has been gathered is sent to the mobile data computer on the apparatus. From our initial testing at our Lido Station, the new system gives anywhere from a few seconds to 45 seconds of "early warning" that we don't have under the old system. Typically the Smart-Station is providing 15 to 34 seconds of additional response time. When our goal is to respond to a medical call in a few minutes, an extra 30 seconds represents a significant improvement. We had planned a phased implementation of the Smart- Station system at two stations each year through the Capital Improvement Program. However, the results have been so dramatic and compelling as to request council approve roll out to the other stations immediately. The remaining stations not covered will have the Smart - Station system installed with anticipated new station construction. 0 Purchase and Environmental Review: 0 Installation of Smart- Station Call Alerting System October 11, 2005 Page 3 This project has no requirement for Environmental Review. Funding Availability: Undesignated General Fund Paramedic Reserve funds are available in the amount of $306,1 63.11. Altematives: As an alternative to the recommended action, project could be phased in over a number of years or not funded at all. This would allow emergency call alerting to remain at current dispatch time levels.
