The project involves the removal, labeling, and re-installation of all computer and
communication equipment in the main and alternate dispatch centers. Primary Goal: The
primary goal is to reconfigure the dispatch workstations for a more organized workspace,

years with the transition to the Windows 11 Operation system and the E-911 upgrade. For
this reason, the Primary Dispatch center in Bldg. 3003 and the Alternate at Bldg. 947 will
need to have their 2 workstations mirror each other. The alternate dispatch has 2
workstations that will also need to mirror each other. Furthermore, none of the connectors
are labeled properly and if there arises a need for maintenance that process could take
longer than necessary.
