Title/Name/Summary
Renewal for the CodeRED Emergency Notification System - Expenditure Approval
History
The CodeRED Emergency Notification System annual service is due for renewal. Staff is requesting approval in the amount of $22,000 for this service effective June 1, 2019, to May 31, 2020.
CodeRED is an ultra-high-speed voice communication service for emergency notifications. The system allows us to call all or targeted areas of the village in case of an emergency or urgent situation that requires immediate attention. Our contract also allows us to use the system for general or non-emergency notifications.
The CodeRED system uses a phone number database to contact residents and businesses within the village with a voice message, and will also dispatch an email message and/or text message to residents and businesses that provide this additional information when they register.
The annual cost of the system is .75 per household or business and includes unlimited calls. The employee contact list feature is $150. This feature is used by the police department for staff call outs.
On April 15, 2019, this item was reviewed by the Technology, Innovation and Performance Improvement Committee, recommended for approval and referred to the Village Board of Trustees for consideration.
Financial Impact
$22,000.00 is budgeted in account 010-1600-442850 for the Code Red Emergency Notification annual service.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve the CodeRED Emergency Notification System Service for a period of one year at a cost not to exceed $22,000.
