In that article posted earlier re: the cancellation of the contract, did anyone notice the following:
"Figgers Communication was hired to assist with “consulting, negotiating and requesting approval from state and federal regulators on behalf of the district,” according to the contract. The scope of work also included designing an “efficient call flow plan” that will enhance the district’s 911 network and eliminate routing through Orange County.
A two-person consulting team was to be paid $485 an hour for an expected 500 hours of work with a total price tag of $242,500, according to the contract."
So, this contract does not even include the work to install the system or procure the hardware/software. It's literally $242K for consulting.
