The City of Rochester Hills wishes to engage an experienced professional firm for the purpose of obtaining consulting services to assist the City in determining the best method to provide its residents with the most effective and cost efficient emergency communication services. It is the City's desire to hire a qualified firm that can objectively evaluate the City's 911 PSAP and emergency communication center services. The consultant will furnish all required labor, materials, supplies and travel required in connection with the project. The City expects that the project staff will include individuals with expertise in the fields of public safety, 911 PSAP, emergency communication operations, municipal government and technical report writing. The City is seeking straight-forward, strategic advice, not a detailed and time-consuming study. There is a total budget of $25,000 for this project. With a view to obtaining the most acceptable services, these specifications cover the general requirements. Recommendations from proposers are encouraged and will be reviewed and evaluated based on the best interests of the City.
