3. Approval of minutes from the previous meeting
Motion by Abeles-Allison, seconded by Sztyndor to approve the Minutes of the Ashland -
Bayfield County Consolidated PSAP Board of Director’s Meeting held on October 20, 2023.
Motion carried, 6-0.
4. Project Manager Update:
• Quaderer reports that there’s a 5–6-month lead time on equipment so we need to order
now for summer arrival. The state wants all the grants combined into one budget as one
grant. Bayfield County approved the signing of two grants last night. Abeles-Allison wants
Ashland County’s permission to submit the million-dollar grant. Grady stated that Ashland
County is okay with it. Quaderer wanted to clarify that the two PSAP grants will be
combined into one while the two GIS grants are still separated. Fiscal Year 23 and
Supplemental and Esinet grants will all be combined into one, due Dec. 31, 2024. The
furniture RFP is due Dec. 6th, the board needs to choose how to proceed.
• The GIS Workgroup has met and is working with Robert Horne to start a timeline and
process. Each county will maintain their individual county’s’ files. Once a final decision for
Ashland – Bayfield Consolidated PSAP
Board of Directors
mapping is made, they will be combined. Galetka stated that they are working with two
different workflows. The new CAD system will impact the process. The workgroup will
look at all mapping software in the county to evaluate all the possibilities for streamlining.
They will also inventory all the mapping systems that are used in the dispatch center. The
plan is for each county to update their own data and the databases will be merged in a
regular basis. Quaderer requested that Galetka and Goudos-Weisbecker write up a GIS
portion for the RFP for the cad system.
• The IT workgroup has been created. Houck states the first meeting will be on the 30th in
person. It is suggested to have involved dispatchers not working during the meeting. The
meeting will be in Bayfield County and include a tour of the dispatch center. Foley in a
previous meeting created a list of items needed and vendors that could provide for those
items.
• The Operations workgroup is being built out. Quaderer suggests having a workgroup
specifically for the CAD/RMS system to make appropriate software solutions. This
workgroup would look at RFP proposals, choosing a solution, and the money allocated for
mapping. Think GIS needs to make its way to Bayfield County, so the costs will be off. The
expenditure will need to continue in the short-term future until the new solution is
implemented. Communicate with Galetka before moving forward.
5. Project Budget Update:
• Budget report is included. Quaderer reports she is preparing to pay the invoice for 50%
for DSC. She is expecting the Motorolla invoice. For clarity, all these grants are
reimbursement grants, we pay for the items and get the money back. The new grant
allocation is 84% state, 16% match. Maintenance costs are not reimbursable. Most of the
process is having Bayfield County cover the expenditures and send an invoice to Ashland
County for their portion of the cost.
6. PSAP Director Hiring Process Update:
• Job posting has been posted and is open until the 19th. Kavajecz is working on the
process.
7. Discussion and Possible Action regarding Mission Critical Partners contract deliverables:
• Arico reports that a few changes were made to the contract, including the costs quoted
from 2022.
Motion by Grady, seconded by Sztyndor to approve and sign the MCP contract with the
changes. Motion carried, 6-0.
Ashland – Bayfield Consolidated PSAP
Board of Directors
8. Discussion regarding meeting with DSC:
• Abeles-Allison reports they had a great meeting this past week with Ben C and Jeff. They
sat down with both Ashland and Bayfield County Sheriff’s and Administrators. Outstanding
issues will be resolved in the next week.
9. Next meeting and agenda items:
• Approve furniture RFP at the next meeting.
• PSAP Director Hiring Process: Depending on the number of applications received for the
position, there will be two interviews. The first interview will consist of two PSAP board
members joining the HR director, likely both county sheriffs. If there is a low number of
qualified applicants, there will be one interview with the full PSAP board. The position will
remain open for applications until the position is filled.
• Tues. Dec. 12th at 10am at the Bayfield County EOC
10. Adjournment 10:51am

5. Product Viability & History BASIS FOR SCORE
Warranty
Watson - Lifetime warranty on wood and metal parts, cabinets, doors, and screens with a 10-year warranty on electronics
and buy-out parts such as lights, switches, lifting columns, and climate controls. Xybix has a lifetime warranty on parts manufactured by Xybix with 10-year warranty on electronics and buy-out parts such as lights, swithces, etc.
4. Requirements BASIS FOR SCORE
Liability & Certification Documents are valid
Xybix provided a valid Certificate of Liability Insurance, Proof of Performance Summary, and Certificate of Compliance, as
well as the Blanket Waiver of Subrogation, and provided a Health and Safety Design Standards page. Watson did not
provide a Certificate of Liability of Insurance, Proof of Performance Summary, and their Indoor Air Quality certification was
expired as of June 2023.
Vendor Ability to Meet Requirements Both proposals were able to meet the requirements on a timely fashion without delaying the consolidation project.
Functional and Personal Space Consideration
Watson console concept puts the PC cabinets under the desk near the footspace. Reducing available footspace as well as making it more difficult for PC access. Additionally, at the Watson console, if PC work is necessary, the disptacher is removed from their station. For Xybix, the dispatcher can continue working while a technician is working with a PC tower.
Watson did not account for the pass-through door on the entry/exit wall and has removed most of the record-keeping
drawers. While Watson provided larger lockers than Xybix, Xybix, utlized the space more efficiently.
Other Considerations Xybix does not include lighting as a part of their package and is lacking in available storage capacity. Watson does not include lighting or storage capacity at each staction beyond tech cabinets. Xybix includes acrylic panels.
Average Score

3. Project Understanding BASIS FOR SCORE
Overall Comprehension of Project Objectives
The RFP mentions the need for addressing storage and sound as well as an environment that fosters collaboration. Watson
did not include any additional storage for the kitchenette or bathroom areas and it did not appear to have adequate
storage for record keeping. The Watson floorplan did not address any concerns for noise or for a cohesive working environment. Xybix provided additional storage for the kitchenette and the console layout fosters teamwork while giving enough separation for noise. The Watson desks are 84" and Xybix is 72". The Xybix console has two platforms that raise and lower independently. The Watson console is one platform that raises and lowers as one unit. The Xybix consoles are curved and the Watson consoles are square/rectangular.
References
Organizational Structure Watson provided the entire team with an introduction page. Xybix only provided one project manager contact. The proposal for Watson included a section on their company structure.
Experience with Similar Projects Watson provided 3 references with floor layout, though it would be beneficial if they were more current than 2017 & 2021. Xybix provided 3 references with current projects as of 2023, as well as 3 testimonial letters. It would more beneficial if Xybix's testomonial letters were more current.
2. Company Information BASIS FOR SCORE
Timeliness Proposals were received before the deadline.
Completeness Watson does not include Line by Line response. Watson does not include liability insurance information. Watson certification expired in June of 2023, Xybix is valid through December 2023.
