| | | | | | | | Subject:
*Fire Station Training Room Technology Upgrade | | |
| | | | | | | | Policy/Action Requested:
Approve the purchase of the upgraded technology for the Fire Station training room for $54,577.21. | | |
| | | | | | | | Recommendation:
Approve the purchase of the fire station training room technology. | | |
| | | | | | | | Discussion:
The current fire station training, presentation, and meeting technology equipment is needing an upgrade to meet today's new training requirements and spacing challenges. The existing design is not conducive for the current environment for remote trainings and meetings. Replacement of this equipment allows for additional room functionality including video conferencing, up-to-date data connections, additional viewing areas, and larger screens for content delivery. The new room design is geared towards day-to-day training but will also be leveraged for larger events including an Emergency Operations Center location or a large area needed for distance learning and remote meetings. The necessity to continue to adapt to fire department training becomes even more critical as additional requirements and safety measures are implemented. | | |
| | | | | | | | Budget Impact:
The amount of $54,577.21 will be applying the amounts towards CARES Act dollars as it is facilitating distance learning and remote training. Prices are set through Minnesota State Contract. | | |
