PSAP Consolidated Assessment of the King County E-911 System RFP (Posted 1/6/12)

The King County Enhanced 911 (E-911) Program Office, in conjunction with the Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) Consolidation Steering Committee, is seeking experienced, qualified firms to provide a high quality professional PSAP consolidation assessment of the King County E-911 system. There is a desire to provide the most efficient and effective emergency communications services possible in order to improve the level of emergency service provided to the public. The existing E-911 system has inherent transfers of 911 calls due to the number of PSAPs and the services they provide, and there is a desire to examine whether reducing the need for transfers will expedite the delivery of emergency services. In addition, it is anticipated that the PSAP equipment and operational upgrades necessary for Next Generation 911 (NG911) service will be costly, and that reducing the number of PSAPs will reduce these costs. Taking these factors into consideration, it is requested that the assessment include a recommendation of the optimum PSAP configuration in King County.
