There are several weaknesses with the Vision system which include: <br /> <br />1) More difficult to integrate with Sherburne's dispatch center. <br />2) No records conversion in place. We would have to pay to have an <br /> independent contractor covert our old files over to the new system. <br />3) More expensive. <br /> <br />NEW PROPOSAL: <br /> <br />It appears to be a wiser decision to proceed forward with the Vision system. The long- <br />range use, support and integration factors appear to be stronger with this system. <br /> <br />The cost for Vision is not exact at this time. The software costs are accurate, but we are <br />still waiting to hear from the hardware vendor on the network costs. The specifications <br />for hardware are very specific which had slowed the bid process down significantly. <br /> <br />The other unknown factors are whether or not Anoka County will allow us to tie in with <br />them for both a message center and records management. This would be a significant <br />cost reduction. We would still use Sherburne for 91:l communication, but all other <br />messaging would go through the Anoka network. <br /> <br />Anoka is still evaluating that decision. The combined agencies in Anoka County spent <br />almost $300,000 on consultant fees just to design and locate a vendor to meet their <br />needs. We were not part of that process. They are deciding if we should be allowed to <br />hook up without sharing any of the consultants fees and what our software costs would <br />be if we enter the shared network. <br /> <br />The projected costs thus far are: <br /> <br />l) <br /> <br />2) <br />3) <br />4) <br /> <br />6) <br />7) <br />8) <br /> <br />Hardware - rough estimate from CPS is around $27,000. This does not <br />included Microsoft e-mail, which has a combined City Hall/Police <br />Department cost of $10,000. (Includes license, hardware and software) <br />Software costs for Vision is $63,722.00. <br />Annual maintenance is $7,647.00 or $637.00 per month. <br />Training costs are $16,400.00 <br />Installation costs are $:[5,400.00 <br />Configuration costs are $4,200.00 <br />Project management is $10,500.00 <br />CDPD MDC for I0 cars @ $3,000 per car = $30,000.00 <br /> <br />Total cost for the project is $i84,869.00 <br />Applied for grant: $70,000 <br />Final cost: $1:[4,869.00 <br /> <br /> <br />
