RE: PR 24247 for Port Arthur Fire Department New Station 3
Nature of the Request:
The Port Arthur Fire Department requests that the City Council authorize the City Manager to
procure the necessary software and equipment from PURVIS Systems of Middleton, Rhode
Island to install a PURVIS Fire Station Alerting System(FSAS) at Fire Station 3.This purchase
also included the software and components necessary for the FSAS to properly interface with
our existing computer aided dispatch(CAD) system,which does not include installation.
Background
Fire stations require alerting systems to communicate information during emergency and
nonemergency calls for service.
Fire Station 3 is under construction, representing a significant investment in our community's
safety. Modernizing this facility with the installation of the PURVIS FSAS will enhance
communications and ensure that personnel are automatically and instantaneously delivered
incident details in a way that is designed to improve emergency response and operational
efficiency. Implementing the PURVIS FSAS provides personnel the ability to respond
effectively. This integration reflects our commitment to providing the highest level of protection
for our firefighters and the community we serve.
Budget Considerations: The cost of these requests is $240,161.10. PURVIS FSAS was
budgeted and funds are available within the PAFD's new construction account for Station 3 in
Project account#307-19-047-8512-00-30-000,Project No. BU0013.0TH..
Recommendations:
