ENCLOSURES:
It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission approve
the attached resolution authorizing the waiver of the
requirements for sealed bids for the sole -source procurement of
the Enhanced 911 (E911) Automatic Location. Identification (ALI)
feature from Southern Bell, and further authorizing the City
Manager to enter into an agreement with Southern Bell for the
acquisition of the E911, Automatic Location Identification
feature. Also recommending that the City Manager be given the
authority to exercise the cancellation provision contained in the
attached Letter of Intent.
BACKGROUND:
The General Services Administration Department has found Southern
Bell to be the sole source of supply for the system needed and
the Chief Procurement Officer has also adopted this finding. GSA
has analyzed a proposal received from Southern Bell Telephone and
Telegraph Company to install the ALI feature as enhancement to
the existing Automatic Number Identification (ANI) feature of the
City's Emergency 911 system.
This system enhancement will display a caller's address on a
video screen manned by City communications operators at the 911
center. This feature shall enable emergency units to respond more
quickly and efficiently to an emergency call despite a caller's
inability to inform operators of his or her location.
Metropolitan Dade County recently signed a Letter of Intent to
add ALI to their existing 911 system. A due date of January
1988, has been established for this upgrade to the county's
system. If a Letter of Intent is approved by the City of Miami
by March 31, 1987, there is the opportunity to take advantage of
the scheduled county system upgrade, thereby avoiding the 18 to
24 months of lead time usually required.

Dear Ron:

2nd Floor Building B
Miami, Florida 33166
Phone (3051599.8100
As you may be aware the Dade county Commission has signed a Letter of
Intent with Southern Bell to add Automatic Location identification (ALI)
to their existing E911 system. We have committed a January 1988 due date
for this upgrade.
Southern Bell would like to install Miami's ALI concurrently with Dade
County. The usual lead time on an E911 installation is 18 to 24 months.
This is due to equipment lead times, 8911 implementation schedules
throughout BellSouth and data base conversion. By executing the enclosed
Letter of Intent by March 31, 1987, we can guarantee installation
concurrent with Dade. This would allow your employees and citizens to
derive its benefits in less than one year.
The attached Letter of Intent reflects an increase in rates from the
original letter submitted to Ed Cox in August 1985 and prices quoted to
you June 1986. This is due to several factors:
- an increase in access lines in the City
- two rate increases designed to carry existing rates forward for
a minimum of five years.
As you are aware Ron, the increase in your rates to the Southern Bell
full featured 9911 system are over a three year period. This gradual
rate increase was negotiated with all the Public Safety Answering
Positions in Dade to provide relief from the actual tariff increase.
From year three on, your rates will be governed by the general 9911
tariff that all other counties and municipalities are subject to.
A BELLSOUTH Company
Mr. Ron Williams -2- February 6, 1987
Should the City wish to defer the non -recurring costs for budgetary
reasons, Southern Bell can spread all non -recurring costs over a two to
eighteen month period at competitive interest rates. For example,
installation costs spread over eighteen months at todays rates would be
$5,358.43 per month.
Ron, it should be noted that ALI printers and ALI display units can be
purchased on the open market. The Southern Bell installation and
maintenance of these units are:

LETTER OF INTENT
Please accept this letter as our request and order for Southern Bell Telephone
and Telegraph Company (Southern Bell) to implement the Enhanced 911 Emergency
Service System (Enhanced 911 System) in Miami, Florida. This order, which
authorizes you to proceed with the installation of the system, is based on our
understanding of the following thirteen sections and five exhibits:

Board of County Commissioners
sueJECT Agreement with Southern
Bell for Acquisition of
FROM Sergio Perei /� the Smergercy 911
County Manag Automatic Location
Identification Feature
Reccmmendation
It is recommended that the Board of County Commissioners approve the at-
tached agreement with Southern Bell for the acquisition of the Emergency 91:
Automatic Location Identification feature.
Background
In an effort to improves Metro -Dade County's Emergency 911 system, it is
desired to add the Automatic Location Identification (ALL) feature to the
existing Automatic Number Identification (ANI) System by contracting with
Southern Bell for the leasing of the ALI service to Dade County. A caller
dialing 09110 for emergency police or fire service would have the location
from which he or she is caliing shown on a video display screen to County
communications operators at the 911 center, in addition to the existing
screening of the originating phone number. The ALI feature will enable a
caller who is unable to speak or who does not know his location to be
assisted more effectively and expediently.
Presently, the other cities who have separate 911 systems --Cities of Miami,
Miami Beach, Hialeah and Coral Gables --have contracted with Southern BeTl to
provide ALI service. Because the database for this location information has
been created and maintained by Southern Bell, the company is the sole source
for this ALI service.
This agreement for ALI service also includes the purchase of a computerized
tape from Southern Bell of all phone subscribers, their service addresses
and published telephone numbers. Updates of this information will be
provided to Dade County on a quarterly basis. The information on this tape
can be used by County departments for such uses as identifying the locations
of hazardous chemicals and explosives for the Fire Department, address
certification in police investigations and to identify previous violent
occurrences for the Metro -Police Department. At this time however, Southern
Bell has refused our request to provide the data base for the unpublished
phone numbers, based on their belief that providing this data is prohibited
by Public Service Commission's approved tariff. However, we reserve our
claims to this data.
Dade County currently pays a recurring annual cost of $324,000 to Southern
Bell for the existing Emergency 911 ANI service. The initial capital cost
for implementing ALL with the current system is $310,000. The annual
