This system includes a server, telephone interface cards, as well as interface circuitry to record up to 128 ports for both telephone and radio networks. The purpose of this system is to record and retrieve analog voice conversations of activities within the emergency center.

The voice recording system’s application is a Higher Ground Inc. Praetorian Fusion Series version 7.5. The application handles all in-bound voice recording activity, as well as input for SMDR (Station Message Detail Recording) data from two Nortel Norstar telephone systems.

Hardware maintenance shall include replacement of any defective hardware necessary to maintain the operation of the system. The contractor shall deliver any required replacement components within the next business day after determination of the faulty item, via standard next-business-day shipping. On-site government technicians shall provide the on-site installation of any replacement hardware with the coordination or under direction of the contractor. The contractor’s tech support staff shall be available via telephone during replacement of hardware.

Preventative Maintenance, if recommended by the contractor shall be scheduled prior to performing the maintenance activity.

4.0 Technical Support: Provide technical support to maintain the system operational capability, including assistance in installing updates, patches, revisions or configuration, as well as the remedy of any troubles with software or hardware on the system.

Technical support, if necessary will be provided by the contractor in the event a difficulty arises with the compatibility of the Higher Ground software and Microsoft patches or virus protection.

5.0 Remote Access: The government, at its discretion, may elect to supply an internet or dial-up connection for the purpose of the vendor to remote access and remedy the system.

In the event the contractor requires access to the system, they will make that need known.

The government, if it so agrees to provide access, shall provide access for a limited period of time.

6.0 Maintenance Period:
