BACKGROUND
As part of the public safety radio system upgrade the 911 center will be required to upgrade its current audio recorder in order to access and record radio traffic on the VIPER radio network. This purchase will be sole source since it is acquired through the current recorder vendor. The required hardware, software upgrade, licensing and labor will cost $81,490. This purchase is 100% eligible for State of North Carolina 911 funding which is why it was not included in the radio system upgrade purchase.
